seeing all the talent Union City brought out to this event, it was clear as day to see why the Soaring Eagles' offensive line is so strong. Apparently the Hudson County school subscribes to the adage that iron sharpens iron. Tillman was an absolute monster all afternoon long. He took most of his spins off the edge and showed why as a rising junior he is the next big trench prospect to come off the stadium atop the roof. Tillman had one of the quickest get offs that I saw, repeatedly getting this matchup in retreat mode from the snap. He uses his hands exceptionally well, grabbing cloth, separating, and shedding. The one move I was most impressed with was how he hit the ghost rush so smoothly. Aside from it looking silky, this shows off Tillman's general athleticism and how well he can bend.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6499a99ac88a9"} /--> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Most Valuable Player - Linebacker</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["821225"],"_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":"If Union City did not bring the best blend of talent and depth to the PSR Showcase, then Millville did. Cornish has a FBS-caliber build and completes with the best of them. He possesses soft hands and makes consistent plays on the ball as it was in flight. For his size this prospect can absolutely move. He ran stride-for-stride with most backs out of the backfield way down field on wheels and seams. He also did not lose a step on Texas and other breaking routes that backs ran. Finally, Cornish was a difficult out in run simulation drills. He was fast to the point, took great angles, took the air out of any cutback windows, and was extremely difficult to get away from.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6499a99ac894a"} /--> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Most Valuable Player - Defensive Back</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["849543"],"_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":"...And now back to Union City. Koffa, a recent Morgan State University commit, was head-and-shoulders the best defensive back in attendance. A few adjectives I wrote down to describe his performance were: jams, sticks, suffocates, and mugs. Unpacking that a bit, Koffa was an immediate winner at the LOS, allowing very few receivers a clean release. From there, he stuck with them on every route not relinquishing a single step no matter how hard the break or how deep the depth. Koffa seemed to suffocate receivers as he covered them like white-on-rice. Finally, you better walk with your hands in your pockets around Koffa, as he totally mugged receivers, stealing the ball right out of their hands at times.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6499a99ac89c8"} /-->

Our event coverage of Coach Pennisi's PSR Showcase is wrapping up. We previously explored my immediate reactions, prospects who are physically ready to play at the next level, and a bevy of position-specific breakdowns.
