Chase has a fun film to watch, as he plays a super entertaining style. He has really good accuracy on his deep ball, and can throw on the run with accuracy. He is dual threat, and can really hurt defenses with his feet. He gets the edge super easily and has great breakaway speed. If he can continue to work on his touch on short and intermediate throws, he could develop into a really well rounded quarterback with plenty of tools at his disposal.
Reid has a ton of potential to develop into a really good passer. His numbers from his sophomore season won’t pop off the page at you, but if you watch his film you can see the beginnings of a good project QB. His junior year should be a good year to build on it, as he already shows good accuracy on the deep ball, and Spring Lake ran a good number of bootlegs, so he is comfortable throwing on the run. If he continues to work on his pocket passing, he could be one that sees a huge rise in his stock heading into next season.
Highlights
Jenkins has all the physical traits to be really good, and is aggressive in the run game. Where I would like to see a jump is in pass protection, and also keeping his balance and not lunging at defenders he is trying to block. I think he has a solid starting point so far, and Belleville is known to develop really good players so it’s only a matter of time for Jenkins to be molded into the next lineman that flies up the charts.
Highlights
Logan is a guy I am pretty high on, and I think could definitely jump up the rankings. Swan Valley is going to rely on this kids hands throughout the season, and I think his numbers will be too good to overlook. He is a very natural route runner, and can go up and get jump balls. His hands are super reliable and his frame is only going to continue to fill out and become harder for defenders to play against. Logan is a very lowkey prospect that needs a lot more looks for the next level.
Highlights
I love watching Kadale on film, as he is really electric. Out of the backfield, his burst of speed and acceleration is elite, and his vision is next level. He is versatile as well, running between the tackles or getting outside in the free space. In the kicking game, he is a really dangerous returner that could take it the distance any time he gets the ball. In his current offense he isn’t tasked with catching a ton out of the backfield, but defensively he does display good hands with a number of interceptions. I think at the next level he could really develop into a good all around player that could play either side of the ball.
