The coaching staff at Sandy Creek High School in Georgia is very excited about the 6-foot-4, 275-pounder coming in this upcoming season as a freshman. From those I've spoken to, they're hoping he's a varsity contributor by the time season rolls around in late August.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["827011"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"A verified, legitimate 6-foot-5 (maybe a half inch shorter) and 230 growing-pounds, Kalis is going to be a phenomenal football player for years to come. Has the size, work ethic, potential and pedigree to be a future 5-star prospect at left tackle.  The father of Todd Kalis (8-year NFL vet) and younger brother of Kyle Kalis (All Big10 at Michigan and current NFL Free Agent), the youngest of them all could be the most elite. Absolutely a no-brainer as an early offer kid, barring anything unexpected happening.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["827094"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Give me 6-foot-5, 270 pounds with a solid build and great athleticism for a big manu002du002devery. single. day. That's what you get with big [player_tooltip player_id='827094' first='Jon' last='Sassic'] out of western Pennsylvania. The big man has some scary size for only going into this freshman year of high school but his feet and agility are a close second on the list of things that pop out to me. Give a lot of credit with his feet to the work he puts in on the basketball court too. Helped lead Sacred Heart to championships on the hardwood as a seventh-grader and eighth-grader. He's going to be a very, very good one.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["827100"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Ricciuti is yet another 2027 western Pennsylvania prospect getting a write up today on Prep Redzone Next, this time coming by way of Waynesburg. An hour south of Pittsburgh, Riccuti is a big-bodies receiver at 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds that is inching closer to becoming a dynamic tight end. The soft-handed big man plays his 7v7 ball for PA Elite, one of the top programs in the state. Another thing to really like about Ricciuti is his sneaky athletic ability. In addition to running the 400m and 4x100m, he's also a high jumper with a PR of 5'7.5u0022.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["827155"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Chilton has a recent social media post where the caption reads u0022can't fake strongu0022 and that is a major truth. The future Grove City High School student-athlete calls Ohio home and looks to be hitting his stride physically. Has slimmed down and rocked up significantly since his eighth-grade season ended this past fall. The balanced speed/power defensive end prospect stands an explosive 6-foot and 210-pounds right now. His weight room numbers are eye-catching with a 225-pound bench press, 380-pound squat and 445-pound deadlift. Couple those numbers with his improving-feet and he's a kid that has a really good shot, especially if he tacks on some more height.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6463bd419a956"} /-->
