Although there is no tape to evaluate just yet, John is primed to make a big impact for years to come. Set up at 6'0u0022 and 190 lb as a freshman, John will continue to put on size and become a household name in no time. Being a part of a winning program such as St. Joseph's, [player_tooltip player_id='224516' first='John' last='Lanari'] is in a position to excel in 2023.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64833bec14e73"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["606208"],"_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_tooltip player_id='606208' first='Dorian' last='Kelsey'] is another example of a player that is ready to make a huge impact his sophomore season. Playing for the Pennington School as a defensive end, Dorian is a future sack artist. He rushes off of the edge with great speed and even has the ability to chase down ball carriers. A player that can straight up bull rush linemen and throw them around, he is a hungry defender that is set up to make some big plays in the near future.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64833bec14f16"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18340154/63f004f09675ec0d5ce51168' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64833bec14f34"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["481977"],"_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_tooltip player_id='481977' first='Jymir' last='Williams'] is a cornerback with a larger frame and more modern size for the position. He presses the receiver at the line and can run step to step with them. A future lock down cornerback, Jymir doesn't get shaken up by a receiver with quick feet. He'll mimic their movement and make a move on the ball when it's thrown his way. I am looking forward to see the progress Jymir will continue to make with Irvington in 2023.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64833bec14f74"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17825071/63495b769a91d10934c8460f' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64833bec14f8f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["413303"],"_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_tooltip player_id='413303' first='Elias' last='Martinez-Beasley'] is a defensive player that should be on everyone's radar. A defensive tackle with an athletic build, Elias will be extremely hard to block over these next few seasons. He is a run play disruptor, easily tossing linemen to the side and squaring up with the runner when he meets them in the hole. Once you're in Elias' grasp, there's a slim chance you're making it away from him. Also playing tackle on offense, Elias is a pancake blocker that turns the corner fast as he comes around for a pull. Make sure not to be in Elias' path on either side of the ball.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64833bec14fcc"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18038292/63d7d0c02ab0450d341daa7e' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64833bec14fe7"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["819162"],"_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_tooltip player_id='819162' first='Kani' last='Golden'] is the final player on this list to keep an eye out for in 2023.

A sure tackler, Kani can fly up from the safety position to stop the back in his tracks. He will not let a runner get outside of him once he's made his way up to the line. With 58 total tackles, 1 sack and 3 TFLs in 2022, Kani is quick and decisive and can pivot into the right position to set himself up to make the play.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6485de176c1aa"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18448151/6386ed7cab9cc404cca975ef' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6485de176c1ef"} /-->
