The 6'1u0022 185 lbs QB threw for nearly 800 yards and 4 TDs during that time. It will be interesting to see if he takes over the full time QB role as a sophomore. The tape suggests he will be one to watch closely if he does win the job. Brayden possesses a strong arm that already can put the velocity on the ball needed to hit tight windows deep down the field at the varsity level. Loritz is able to attack all three levels of the field with his arm, and he has shown he can threaten defenses on the ground. Keep an eye out for the sophomore.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64b5db84c4afe"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='948101' first='Aiden' last='Elinsky']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Bay Port","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Bay Port will be missing three of their top five leading receivers from 2022 when they take the field again. There will be plenty of competition for the vacated targets. One of the athletes vying for the opportunities is '26 WR [player_tooltip player_id='948101' first='Aiden' last='Elinsky']. The 6'1u0022 185 lbs athlete looks the part of a varsity receiver. Even as a freshman, Aiden showed off solid route running that opened up plenty of separation. As his body control continues to develop so should his ability to make even cleaner breaks. That will be needed against the higher competition. Elinsky also has shown that he can go get the ball and make the concentration grabs in traffic.

However, this fall it looks like he is poised to be the main man in the backfield. Noah is the leading rusher of all returning members of the team. He has a solid frame at 5'11u0022 180 lbs that will be able to handle the starting workload. Noah is a powerful runner who set the tone, move the pile, and rack up the yards after contact. Reinhart is a patient, one cut runner who has solid burst through the hole and transitions that burst into power at the point of contact.

So the Huskies are in need of a new man at the helm. All signs point to '26 [player_tooltip player_id='948107' first='Zach' last='Shipman'] stepping up into the role of starter. In '22, Zach was the JV QB, and put together noteworthy tape that has me excited for his future. The 6' 165 lbs QB looks ready for the jump in competition. He has a natural arm with the accuracy, touch, and strength to threaten a defense in the short, intermediate, and deeper levels of the field. Shipman also played with poise at the JV level. He bought time in the pocket and outside it. He delivered accurate passers on the run, and would not hesitate to tuck it and do damage with his legs. I'm excited to see him take things to Friday nights. Keep an eye on the '26.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64b5db84c4cfe"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["402820"],"_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":"Germantown returns one ball carrier who produced stats in 2022. So the door is open for someone on the Germantown roster to make a name for themselves and help the team pout up points. My pick for a breakout year is '26 RB [player_tooltip player_id='402820' first='Tyler' last='Conradt']. The 5'6u0022 165 lbs athlete has exceptional strength, pound for pound. He holds 4 State Records for weight lifting, and that success translates to the field. Tyler has a powerful lower body that allows him to stop on a dime and then accelerate. He is able to run his feet  through contact. That leg drive and his low center of gravity is going to allow him to pick up the tough yards not expected from an undersized back.

Sam has a big frame that has all the room needed to continue to fill out and get up to the size that college coaches covet. On offense, Sam used his superior size and strength to overpower and bully defensive linemen. He showed that he can move laterally to maintain his block and can get downfield to make blocks. Hartford has a history of producing dominant run blockers along the OL, and Johnston looks like he is in position to be one of the next ones to uphold that tradition.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64b5db84c4db9"} /-->
