Q/A with Prospects: Suchanic, McKenzie, Wimberly, Wesley, Kennel

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I sat down with 5 of the top prospects in the State to discuss their recruiting, how their summer college visits are going, and the upcoming season. Many of these prospects have been busy visiting campuses and getting offers from College Football programs. Check it out below. This is part 2.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["386144"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-647f2fbf9813f"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='386144' first='Saxton' last='Suchanic'] Central York</strong>. Suchanic made a good 1st impression on me when he intercepted a pass at the end of the Hempfield game last year to seal the victory. Suchanic played cornerback and wide receiver for Central York last year. At cornerback, he has excellent size standing 6'3" inches. Most cornerbacks do not have that size, which makes it impressive how good a player he is. At the Penn State Prospect camp, he ran a 4.5 40-yard dash. That is a super impressive time for someone his size. I expect College Football offers to be coming soon. Below are 5 questions with Suchanic:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>1) How was the camp at Penn State?</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It was a good experience, I learned a lot and got better.

He is a defensive tackle with good strength and athleticism. McKenzie is already an impressive player and with more high school playing time he should only get better. I checked in with him after he recently visited Maryland University for a summer camp. Below are 5 questions with McKenzie. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>1) How was the Maryland camp you went to?</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Great!

I was happy with my performance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2) What other camps are you going to this summer?</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>June 8 I am at Widener University for their camp. I believe UCONN and Nebraska will be there as well. June 20 is Ohio State, on June 21 I am visiting Michigan and on June 22 I was invited to Notre Dame's Camp. June 24 I am at Syracuse. I have been invited to UNC and James Madison as well as Virginia Tech but the summer isn't long enough to hit them all. I am in Kentucky for vacation so I'm hoping to stop and see Lousiville. I also hope to look at the University of Tennessee while on vacation as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>3) What offers do you have?</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I have UNC Charlotte, Syracuse, and Akron.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>4) Is there a dream school for you?</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>My dream school would be the Texas Longhorns.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>5) Is there a game you are looking forward to this season?</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The high school game is Harrisburg for sure.

The last time I saw Wimberly was at the Prep Redzone camp where he was one of the top-performing running backs. Wimberly has good quickness and agility. He is very good at making people miss in the open field. He also shows the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. He recently got his 1st Division 1 offer from West Virginia.

Wesley is a player that last year who really blossomed as a player and has recently started getting College Football looks. He has great size standing 6'5 inches long. He also is a good athlete that displays traits that should enable him to excel at the College Football level. I can see him playing defensive end or tight end at the next level. Below are 5 questions with Wesley: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>1) How was the University of Pittsburg Camp?</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pitt was the largest camp I've been to so far.

Kennel is someone I wrote about in February. He is a tall wide receiver with a ton of skill. He has been slow to get College Football offers, but it is not for lack of trying. Kennel has a great work ethic and the skill to back it up. He also has great size standing 6'3" inches tall. He recently got his 1st Division 1 offer from Sacred Heart, with plenty more coming.
