Hawk’s 2025 Western Pa Prospects to Watch: Part 2

<p>Welcome back! Welcome back! I'm here again to highlight more prospects for the 2025 class, many of whom are unoffered. I will continue to cover both offered and unoffered talent that, in my opinion, are college-bound prospects in the 2025 class. Currently, one of these student-athletes, [player_tooltip player_id='386102' first='Nate' last='Stohl'], has received at least one Division I offer. Keep an eye out for these talented prospects throughout the summer camp circuit months.</p>   <ul> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='598925' first='Tim' last='Kershaw']</li> </ul>   <ul> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='598916' first='Arison' last='Walker']</li> </ul>   <ul> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='599217' first='Chase' last='Kissell']</li> </ul>   <ul> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='148535' first='Niko' last='Andrews']</li> </ul>   <ul> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='386102' first='Nate' last='Stohl'] </li> </ul>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/timkershawww/status/1594903526550953984?s=46&t=Z9HVsIfxlYpUmBtFJHGC4g </div></figure>    <p></p>   <p><strong>HAWK'S OPINION:</strong> </p>   <p>Tim has the kind of breakaway speed that makes it difficult to corral once he gets out. He is quick, shifty and dangerous in the open field. He displays good route running and big play ability. He's a versatile athlete that shows outside & slot WR capabilities on film. His speed puts stress on re-routers on the hash and on man-free safeties when he's playing the X or Z positions.  He's not easy to track and has soft receiving hands, a deadly combo. Kershaw has the acceleration to be a dangerous return man as well. He's been clocked in the 10s in the 100 meter dash this spring and runs a 4.4 in the 40. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ArisonWalker_15/status/1624558749103841283?s=20 </div></figure>   <figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Schools Interested:</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>West Virginia </td><td>Brown</td></tr><tr><td>Holy Cross</td><td>Cornell</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>    <p></p>   <p><strong>HAWK'S OPINION:</strong> </p>   <p>His acceleration allows him to swiftly close the gap between him and defenders at the line of scrimmage. He smoothly navigates through routes, swiftly changing direction at breaks and beating re-routers. He has soft hands and isn't afraid to catch passes in traffic. Walker has a keen ability to identify gaps in coverage and positions himself within the soft spots. He's shifty and gets vertical quickly after receptions. Defensively, he plays bigger than his measurements suggest. He's relaxed in his back pedal & doesn't overextend breaking on the ball. He's a physical player with lateral quickness and football smarts. He showcases excellent hips intercepting passes near the sideline as a free safety. His route recognition gives him the ability to identify and pick off passes in coverage. Walker has demonstrated the versatility to play man in the slot as a nickel back and make tackles in the flat. He doesn't hesitate to run the alley and get into the run action. He's an aggressive tackler on special teams who also has the speed to return kicks. Arison is on a couple D1 recruiting boards but hasn't gotten that first opportunity.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/chasekissell/status/1615197847338483714?s=46&t=Z9HVsIfxlYpUmBtFJHGC4g </div></figure>   <figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Schools Interested:</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Lehigh</td><td>Cal (Pa)</td></tr><tr><td>Saint Francis</td><td>Clarion</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>    <p></p>   <p><strong>HAWK'S OPINION:</strong></p>   <p>He displays good athleticism and mobility running the zone read at QB. He has good footwork in the pocket and looks good going through his progressions. He has good arm strength and shows the ability to throw on the run. His toughness can be seen when he's tackling on defense or stock blocking on the outside. He's shifty and tough with the ball, setting his blocks up well displaying patience. Chase has good anticipation completing deep throws & out-breaking routes. He's athletically gifted enough to play DB on the next level. On defense, he's competitive in coverage situations and he understands offenses. He doesn't allow WR's to stop him from getting into run pursuit. He shows versatility playing OLB and effectively re-routes slot receivers. D1s like Saint Francis and Lehigh have been keeping an eye on Kissell. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/nikoandrews/status/1646909250730352645?s=46&t=Z9HVsIfxlYpUmBtFJHGC4g </div></figure>   <figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Schools Interested:</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Penn State </td><td>West Virginia </td></tr><tr><td>Virginia Tech</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table></figure>    <p></p>   <p><strong>HAWK'S OPINION:</strong> </p>   <p>Niko's a smooth athlete on the gridiron with big potential. He's got adequate body control and quick-twitch movements. At corner, his footwork is sharp, and he doesn't step outside of the box or overextend on breaks. His tempo is controlled in his pedal, and he displays good hips during transition. He is reactive in coverage with promising ball skills to contest passes. He's patient in press-man and is skilled at staying over the top of the WR in coverage. I love him as a DB, but he exhibits game at WR too. His speed and quickness off the line are good and only going to improve. He understands taking back leverage at WR before releasing for inside-breaking routes. He does a good job of setting up the DB at his breaking points with misdirection. Niko consistently wins in transition on hitches and curls. He's not afraid to catch the ball over the middle. He has soft hands and catches all his passes away from his body. Niko will definitely play special teams on the next level, as he should. Andrews has the attention of a couple power fives but is still looking for that first scholly.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/natestohl/status/1658514143685509127?s=46&t=Z9HVsIfxlYpUmBtFJHGC4g </div></figure>   <figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Total: 1</td></tr><tr><td>UPenn </td></tr></tbody></table></figure>    <p></p>   <p><strong>HAWK'S OPINION:</strong></p>   <p>At 6'2 245 pounds Nate has the size to play 5 technique or DT in college. He has a good get off and plays at the right pad level on both sides of the ball. Stohl utilizes his leverage blocking from the OG position by getting underneath bigger DL to drive them back. He plays with a good motor and displays good strength tackling. He plays off of blocks well, and he redirects quickly in run pursuit. He does a good job of locking out offensive blockers when looking for the ball carrier. Although, there is room to improve with hand violence at the point of attack, Nate is a very physically imposing player. There is a chance that Nate could grow into a interior lineman in college if he continues to bulk. He recently picked up his first D1 offer from Penn.</p>
