I've loved this kid's game dating back to seven or eight months ago, when he dropped his junior tape. Said junior tape propelled Abouraya onto ACC boards alike, eventually leading to a late-March commitment to Pitt. An equally impressive wrestler, Abouraya will station at the left tackle position for DTE, paving the way for ball carriers hitting his gap. One of the more consistently dominant tackle tapes you can plug, 16+ minutes of elite run-blocking reps that will show up again this coming Fall. Abouraya and the rest of the offensive line will set the tone on offense.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64a33f1b3f32f"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/adhamabouraya/status/1640690648792678407?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/adhamabouraya/status/1640690648792678407?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["558284"],"_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-64a33f1b3f38f"} /--> <!-- 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":"Ryan Moses","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Downingtown East","_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":"We continue with the preview, following Abouraya's lead will be [player_tooltip player_id='558284' first='Ryan' last='Konchek'] and Ryan Moses, two impressive and important cogs in the DTE machine upfront. [player_tooltip player_id='558284' first='Ryan' last='Konchek'] served as the center manning the middle of the East offensive line unit. A naturally cerebral-intense position, Konchek looks to have a repeat season snapping and calling huddle this coming Fall. He boasts better-than-average measurables for the position, standing at 6'3 which is tall for the position at this level. Great feet, does a great job consistently getting his backside into the correct gap, great steerer.rnrnRyan Moses is a 6'4 versatile linemen prospect that DTE can deploy in numerous positions and alignments. Last year's tape had Moses primary as a pulling left guard, presumably because of how well he moves. Slim, tight-end type build that allows for this kind of athleticism at the position. Moses also aligned in the backfield to lead block, there's so much you can do with Moses, especially with Abouraya anchoring one side of the line. I wouldn't be surprised to see Ryan Moses align anywhere along the Oline this coming Fall.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64a34ce6bd4fd"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/RyanMoses47/status/1594884764120776707?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/RyanMoses47/status/1594884764120776707?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["858489"],"_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":"Not many programs acquired a more talented transfer this offseason. [player_tooltip player_id='858489' first='Ayden' last='Harris'] will now suit up for Downingtown East, rivaling Abouraya as the top-ranked prospect at the program. He'll be ranked relatively high in the coming days, DTE is getting a stud athlete regardless of where he places on our lists. 5'9, 200-pound Kent-State commit, I finally get to dive into what the former Lutheran HS prospect will provide this offense AND defense. Tape conveys 8 minutes of promising two-way reps. Playmaking ability screams off the screen right away. Harris will have a solid unit up front blocking for him, a unit boasting an ACC commit, yet his COD ability, balance, and trench vision after the handoff will have him producing even behind bad offensive lines. Incredible instincts at LB, a spot where he might provide more value for the program. Passing concepts and blocking schemes alike are easily picked up by this young man. He'll be a pleasure to watch.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64a33f1b3f489"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/AydenHarris_3/status/1667680777809584128?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/AydenHarris_3/status/1667680777809584128?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["563976"],"_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='563976' first='Owen' last='Lammy'] played a similar role to [player_tooltip player_id='858489' first='Ayden' last='Harris']' in Missouri.

[player_tooltip player_id='563976' first='Owen' last='Lammy'] might provide a nice change of pace at linebacker, considering he brings more of a DB approach to the position. Lammy can split out and cover slot wideouts or tight ends, he can run with these guys downfield. DTE can utilize Lammy as an effective/timely blitzer. The kid has some interceptions under his belt, having him roam the defense might be ideal, especially considering how often he's around turnovers. Ranking coming. Again, you can expect him to carry the rock a few times too, as well as being involved in the screen game.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64a33f1b3f4d2"} /--> <!-- 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='894755' first='Caden' last='Walsh']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_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":"Downingtown East ","_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":"Regular season production for [player_tooltip player_id='894755' first='Caden' last='Walsh'] goes as follows. 22 receptions, 450+ yards, three scores. I'm admittedly out of the loop as to who will be manning the quarterback position, yet whoever it'll be, they'll have a senior pass-catcher worthy of the rock, worthy of having worked around him. A fabulous option in the passing game, aligning in the slot, in the backfield, or in-line with tackles. Great mover for his size, real wideout hands, he's reeled in some impressive catches on tape, all 22 receptions didn't come easy. Blending WR/TE size, he often surprises kids in the open field with a bit of wiggle. An easy candidate for 40+ receptions so long as a formidable prospect in behind center.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64a33f1b3f560"} /--> <!-- 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='894756' first='Ryan' last='Shannon']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_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":"2496","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Downingtown East ","_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":"Excited to rank this kid and represent him correctly among his 2024 peers. The man falling under the radar. We know about Abouraya and Harris, yet [player_tooltip player_id='894756' first='Ryan' last='Shannon']'s tape is equal in caliber to the aforementioned prospects listed above. A real 6'1, 210-pound build, I imagine Shannon won't see much of a difference in role with the addition of Harris along the linebacker unit. A unique prospect that will likely rush the passer and set the edge as an OLB with his hand off the dirt. That being said, I imagine coaches could still utilize his skillset at EDGE with his hand in the dirt too, he's that good. Incredible pursuit of the BC after shedding at the LOS. Wins early and finishes, complete tape. Kid is a blur on the screen, has to be a joy to coach.

Downingtown East is set in two units, important ones that will help them win football games this Fall. The first being offensive line, the second being this linebacking group.
