When defensive backs tried to play him in press coverage, it didn't end well. Reilly had one of the best releases at the entire event. He immediately would create separation at the line of scrimmage which led to a number of easy catches. During his junior season I saw how well he tracked the ball and he displayed that ability in so many reps at the downstate classic. He quietly had one of the most productive performances ","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["727386"],"_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":"Out of all the cornerbacks I saw at the downstate classic I don't think there was a player as dominant as [player_tooltip player_id='727386' first='Josira' last='Andrews']. Out of all those amazing Dutchemn defensive backs he was ultimately the standout guy as he locked down every single receiver he went against. There were no linebackers in this pod so Andrews got a crazy amount of reps and he continued winning them thanks to the combination of physicality, IQ and technique. He was the most polished player in the pod and the intensity he brought was incredible ","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["806202"],"_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":"The big man from St John's drew some of the tougher matchups and he stepped up. Wehbeh was one of the only players to give [player_tooltip player_id='434415' first='Blake' last='Belin'] any type of issues. The all league center dominated at his position as he strung together a bunch of impressive reps. He wasn't as big as some of the other lineman but he had some of the best technical skills and his strength was up there with some of the bigger prospects.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["528722"],"_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":"The Somers product made an argument as the top lineman in pod 5 when it came to production. He had the quickest first step and it wasn't very close. He used his elite agility to absolutely smoke multiple offensive lineman that are highly ranked in the classes of 2024 and 2025 here in New York. His get off was one of the best I saw and he had incredible hand work in his reps and individual drills. He did it in several positions on the line and he showed why he had over 20 sacks last year, he'll be one of the top edge rushers once again this season.

He launched a beautiful pass well over 40 yards and timed it perfectly on the sideline. He had some consistency and was able to get the ball to his receivers very quickly. Belin had good anticipation and a great mentality during the showcase.

From a technical standpoint, Gatchalian was super impressive. He created the most separation out of any receiver in this pod and he made relatively easy catches. He was one of the only player to have any type of success against [player_tooltip player_id='727386' first='Josira' last='Andrews']. And despite being only 5'9, he looked good in the redzone and made some impressive contested catches against physical defenders.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["505383"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"He might not play for a big powerhouse high school, but Outlaw showed he belongs in the conversation with some of the best 2025 quarterbacks in the state. The all star baseball player showed that his arm talent is incredible. He could absolutely sling it as he had some great spots on some excellent deep balls. Outlaw also made some tough throws in tight windows all afternoon.

He had a good bull rush, but what makes him so good is the special type of athlete he is. The quickness and footwork he had was terrific and he had a couple of very impressive moves to defeat some solid offensive lineman.

Mann is a stud, his measurables were some of the best having good size and he accompanied that with great athleticism and toughness. He went up against some defensive lineman that like to bull rush and he did a great job stopping them. Mann has good feet and he was always in front of his guy. He has a very high ceiling going into his second varsity season.","_player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":9,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6480bf5f913bd"} /-->
