HAWK’S SLEPT ON FBS/FCS TALENT (24’): Pt 5

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Have you ever watched someone's film and thought to yourself, “Why doesn't this kid have more offers?” Western Pennsylvania produces many recruits every year who fit this description. I've been compiling a list of recruits whom I believe are bona fide FBS/FCS talent. With the transfer portal, many high school recruits are getting overlooked who traditionally would've had more options. Only 1 of the five 2024 prospects highlighted presently have at least one offer. Don't worry; I'll be the voice of reason that screams, “GET THESE KIDS TO YOUR SUMMER CAMP!”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='91527' first='Colin' last='Brady'] </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='256006' first='Jack' last='Fennell']</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='97977' first='Nate' last='Deanes'] </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='255776' first='Dorian' last='McGhee'] </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='91546' first='Isaiah' last='Brown'] </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/thecolinbrady13/status/1654549127051476994?s=46u0026amp;t=Z9HVsIfxlYpUmBtFJHGC4g","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/thecolinbrady13/status/1654549127051476994?s=46&amp;t=Z9HVsIfxlYpUmBtFJHGC4g </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Total: 2 </td></tr><tr><td>Campbell</td></tr><tr><td>Bucknell</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["91527"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eHAWK'S OPINION:u003c/strongu003ernu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eColin is a prototypical D1 prospect, standing at 6'2 and weighing 200 pounds. He has speed and body control. Brady demonstrates good football intelligence and runs the alley with no regard for his or the ball carrier's safety. He exhibits good ball skills, especially when receiving passes out of the backfield. On defense, Brady displays a lot of versatility, blitzing, playing safety in the deep middle, and covering off the hash in cover 2. With his size and speed, he is capable of fulfilling various roles on special teams. I think Brady has the skills necessary to compete on the mid-major FBS level. Currently, Brady has two D1 offers from Campbell and Bucknell.u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64559beb75e4b"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/jackfennell19/status/1538514230978220032?s=46u0026amp;t=Z9HVsIfxlYpUmBtFJHGC4g","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/jackfennell19/status/1538514230978220032?s=46&amp;t=Z9HVsIfxlYpUmBtFJHGC4g </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Schools Interested:</td></tr><tr><td>Fordham </td></tr><tr><td> Lafayette</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["256006"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eHAWK'Su003c/strongu003e u003cstrongu003eOPINION:u003c/strongu003ernu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eJack displays impressive durability and toughness on the offensive side of the ball, while boasting 4.5 speed that North Catholic maximizes to the fullest. He's shifty and able to accelerate to full speed quickly. Fennell displays good vision and body control with the ball in hand. He's an athlete that's also a formidable return man who has the ability to single-handedly change the field position with just one return. He displays the balance and speed needed to be a college return man.u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64559beb75edb"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/natedeanes_4/status/1629550307834208256?s=46u0026amp;t=Z9HVsIfxlYpUmBtFJHGC4g","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/natedeanes_4/status/1629550307834208256?s=46&amp;t=Z9HVsIfxlYpUmBtFJHGC4g </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Schools Interested:</td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Toledo</td><td>Lehigh</td><td>UPenn</td></tr><tr><td>Lafayette</td><td>Yale</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["97977"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eHAWK'S OPINION:u003c/strongu003ernrnu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eNate is a D1-caliber prospect on both sides of the ball. He is explosive with the ball and is a physical player who plays bigger than his size. Nate has great hips and is also very skilled in man coverage. He is an aggressive open-field tackler who runs the alley with bad intentions. As a receiver, he can line up in the backfield or split out wide or in the slot. He runs the ball with good balance, vision, patience and acceleration. He possesses next-level ball skills when receiving passes and also excels at playing the ball from the DB position. Nate is a shifty competitor who has return abilities and overall special teams gifts in his DNA. In my opinion, he is capable of playing defensive back, slot wide receiver, or being a third-down running back at the next level.u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64559beb75f5d"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/dbandzalot/status/1647036767617392640?s=46u0026amp;t=Z9HVsIfxlYpUmBtFJHGC4g","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/dbandzalot/status/1647036767617392640?s=46&amp;t=Z9HVsIfxlYpUmBtFJHGC4g </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Schools Interested:</td></tr><tr><td>Maine</td></tr><tr><td>Lehigh</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["255776"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eHAWK'S OPINION:u003c/strongu003ernrnu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eDorian is one big-bodied wide receiver that's got good ball skills. McGhee is a true weapon out there as a possession jump ball WR. He averaged an eye-popping 31.4 yards per catch at one point last season! And it's not just his ball skills that's impressive - Dorian's got strength too. He can break tackles and keep his balance on those long yards-after-catch runs.  When it comes to those contested passes from defensive backs, he has strong hands to snatch jump balls out of the air. All in all, Dorian is a real deep threat with the frame to be a possession WR. He's very similar to WR Dereon Green also in the 2024 class. He's been in communication with Maine u0026amp; Lehigh so far in his  recruitment. u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6455a0c3329f8"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/isaiahwbrown24/status/1647352504412241923?s=46u0026amp;t=Z9HVsIfxlYpUmBtFJHGC4g","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/isaiahwbrown24/status/1647352504412241923?s=46&amp;t=Z9HVsIfxlYpUmBtFJHGC4g </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Schools Interested:</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Ball State</td><td> Western Michigan</td><td>Akron </td><td>Toledo</td><td>UPenn</td></tr><tr><td> Kent State</td><td> Temple</td><td> Eastern Michigan</td><td>Lafayette</td><td>Yale</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["91546"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eHAWK'S OPINION:u003c/strongu003ernrnu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eIsaiah displays athletic versatility and a physical brand of football on the field. His speed on fades, combined with his ability to catch passes at the highest point, make him a significant deep threat. He displays agility by quickly coming out of hitches and rocket screen breaks. On defense, Brown sets his edge well at OLB and defeats blockers with aggression in pursuit. I like him the most for college, as an OLB or WLB selfishly. Isaiah displays a lot of athleticism and playmaking ability at WR. He has good hip movement when zone-dropping into coverage, which was evident on one of his INTs in his film. He showed his college-level speed and physicality off the edge blitzing and blocking field goals. He has the necessary gifts to contribute to a D1 program's special teams unit. Brown has good speed, size, and strength at 6'2 210 pounds. He has been generating interest from both FBS and FCS programs during his recruitment. I believe Brown is capable of playing mid-major FBS level football and obviously FCS as well. u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6455a0c332a95"} /-->
