Putting on a number of big performances at Eastern Michigan, Ball State, Pitt and Bowling Green, Burt is raising the bar in anticipation of his senior year. His athleticism has taken down a path that has gotten him to several offers this spring. Working on his speed and strength since the end of last season, Burt looked even more explosive at the Eastern Michigan camp when lining up at wide receiver. A talented player whenever the ball is in his hands, he can be placed at a number of positions on both offense and defense to become a factor. Burt is winning this offseason with offers from Tiffin, Mount Union and Alderson Broaddus so far with interest still coming from a number of MAC schools. With time left this summer to be prepared for his senior season, Burt is high on my list of players to watch.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["410561"],"_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":"Already one of the most talked about linebackers in the area, [player_tooltip player_id='410561' first='Keegan' last='Sell'] is one of the most aggressive players in the state and plays with a motor unlike many at any level of football. Spending his offseason working on his speed competing in track, he has also been at every camp he can to build even more hype around him. He already plays his game with good speed and adding to that with track can only help further his game. His wrestling background adds to his ferocious playstyle that has other coaches paying attention to wherever he is on the field. Going to big camps like Toledo and Eastern Michigan, Sell has picked up offers from Notre Dame College and Grand Valley State since. Sell already has the accolades to his name on a playoff team and is doing all he can to add more to his recruitment stock. In the time he has left before Friday night lights kickoff, Sell can be one of the biggest risers we see before the fall.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Hector Garcia IV","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Elyria Catholic","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Hector Garcia IV is as accurate of a passer that you will find in Northeast Ohio. Showing off his abilities at a number of camps this offseason, Garcia is putting his best foot forward as a quarterback who can deliver balls quickly and accurately. Filling up his schedule with camps at Bowling Green, Baldwin Wallace, Youngstown State and Akron to name a few schools, he is leaving behind a good impression with his efficiency in drills. Able to make strong throws all over the field, his accuracy at the second level is his strongest delivery with good poise. He makes touch passes at close range that give his receivers room to move the ball up field. Is a pass-first quarterback that has good mobility in the pocket to keep plays alive. Keeps his head down field and can make deep throws with good confidence. His run of camps has put his name out there as an anticipated quarterback to watch in the fall.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1110904' first='Jerome' last='Williams II']","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Strongsville","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1110904' first='Jerome' last='Williams II'] showed during his junior year that he can be a mobile run-stopper with good speed and has been spending his offseason working on his footwork to be an impact player from the defensive end position. Already an athletic big man, Williams II has been working hard in the 1-on-1 game to find more moves to use next season. With his quickness to get off and around offensive linemen, he has the strength up top to use power to get off of blocks. He has shown improved footwork to make his speed more of a weapon against the run. He has been getting out on the camp circuits to show off his skillset and it has paid off in a big way with a couple of offers coming in afterwards. Gaining offers from Wittenberg and Otterbein, he has become a hot commodity for his services this offseason in preparation of his senior year. With the work he is putting in this offseason, Williams II has become a big name to watch coming up.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-648b65ea33fdc"} /-->
