We have had a great turnout of athletes submitting their film to be scouted and written up. This group is no different. In fact, this might be the best group yet. We have a few athletes in today's article that I believe can, and will be D1 athletes when their time comes. So dive in with me, and make sure you are well aware of these athletes on the recruiting trail.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["433176"],"_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":"Sophomore OT [player_tooltip player_id='433176' first='Michael' last='Roeske'] has to excite many OL coaches at the next level.

He is a man among boys as he tosses DL around the trenches. Michael is also a gifted athlete. He has a big upper body and an athletic lower body that allows him to move in any direction comfortably and quickly. It also allows him to burst out to the second level before LBs can get through their read steps. Michael's body control impresses too. You don't catch him overextended or off balance.

He finished 2022 with 44 receptions, 778 yards, and 8 TDs. The first strong trait that jumped out to me on tape was his ability to track the ball in the air and adjust to it. Even while he was in midair, Collin repeatedly has shown the ability to be able to turn and twist his body to be able to come down with the ball. Fritts also has soft hands that maximize his wide catch radius. Being 6'3u0022 195 lbs, Collin has learned to use his body to create separation at the catch point. I believe he can be a mismatch at TE at the next level.

Jansen's short area explosiveness leads to good initial contact and punches off the line. His power to get a push in the run game comes from his wide, powerful base that walks defenders out of the trenches. I like his awareness throughout the highlights as well. Multiple times you will see him come off his double team to pick up the LB or take over the level one block. Once he gets to his man the big OL clamps those heavy hands on and controls them until the whistle.

The 6' 180 lbs junior may be a bit undersized, but the dual threat QB is talented. Right off the bat, AJ does a good job of using his mobility to buy time in the pocket. He can maneuver in the pocket, or get outside the pocket while keeping his eyes downfield. AJ has solid arm strength too. Both from the pocket and on the run. He doesn't need to have his feet set to push the ball 30-40 yards downfield. I really like the junior's footwork as well. He keeps his eyes and feet connected as he goes through progressions and moves around the pocket. Lastly, he has the accuracy needed to succeed at the next level while moving and stationary.

The 6'2u0022 280 lbs sophomore has excellent range. Check out his first play and watch him lead across the whole field and downfield before landing a block on a DB. Clay is a easy mover out in space. His light feet allow him to skip pull and close on defenders out in space quickly. Clay can switch from finesse to power instantly too. He has solid anchor strength in pass protection to keep the pocket from collapsing. Also, his initial punch shocks the DL and can stop them in their tracks.

Julian also has strength that jumps off the tape. His compact frame has shown to have the power to set the edge, especially against TEs. Julian also looks comfortable in coverage and out in space.

The underclassman attacked DBs and overpowered them leaving them on their back. In his two games at RB, Harry gave us a look at some impressive vision and instincts despite minimal experience. He read blocks, found cut backs, and set up defenders. On defense, Harry is a reliable tackler on the perimeter. You can count on him to end the play when he is one on one in space. In coverage, Harry has the speed to run with receivers, and the recovery speed to be able to make up ground while the ball is in the air.
