A two-way dominant prospect, All-Catholic DB honors. [player_tooltip player_id='557859' first='Sam' last='Cooper'] is a legitimate safety prospect with the skill set to play the position at the next level. Often at the HS level, the safety position can be dished off to an athlete as their secondary position. This isn't the case with Cooper. He's a special DB with special Ru0026amp;R skills who can easily provide team-leading wideout reps. The young man's trait pool and utilization remind me a ton of Shawn Battle's back at Neumann-Goretti. Quality reps at WR/RB/DB can serve as a returner as well.

The climb in ranking is indicative of that. Might be playing on a bit leaner build this coming Fall. Can serve as a massive wall at left tackle, impressive down-blocking capabilities outside working in. Nearing 300 pounds but can be relied on to get out of his stance and get wide to zone block outside the hash marks. Can emergency at guard if need be. Does a good job taking advantage of kids who either give up their chest or get too far upfield, he's a good steerer once he gets the grip on someone. Some pass-pro sets on tape, looks comfortable for the most part. Looks more comfortable here than run-blocking at times, a testament to his lower body strength.

Well-coached, a linebacker who actually translates his technique onto the field, [player_tooltip player_id='251458' first='Gavin' last='Pond'] is back to live in opposing backfields. That's not hyperbole, a ridiculous number of TFLs are recorded on tape. Pond will likely be back at his OLB / Thief role where he can optimally serve as a slot-defending DB, or blitz and create havoc in the trenches. The Egan defense now has three top 300 prospects stationed, two in the secondary and a senior Pond who is ready to cash in on a career filled with hard work. Timely blitzer, can ward off low-effort blocks from WRs/TEs/RBs, he's even a nuisance on special teams. Pond's an overall tough defender to game plan for considering the various skills he brings to the table. Multiple sacks to his name, multiple picks.

[player_tooltip player_id='558520' first='Hunter' last='Ginsberg'] worked inside with Luke a ton, either cleaning up or making plays in the backfield himself. Tough to stand out when that trio of LBs are stationed next to you. Ginsberg should see an uptick in production, he might have to fill in the Trunell role. He's got the size, the aggressive nature to make it happen. He's a little quicker on his feet than Luke was, so having the ability to cover seams and outs to the flat should work in his favor.

I imagine he's going to be a tick bigger and stronger. What's more important is that the passer comes in more comfortable and confident than what we've seen in the past. This team's got weapons, some names along the offensive line. It's only a matter of things slowing down for Tryon, which an off-season working the system knowing he's the man behind center should help. I've seen the kid live, I've seen him in camps, I've witnessed Tryon flash that potential on tape. It's a matter of making those flashes come less far in-between throws.

I think Thenor is a fabulous complimentary weapon that can be utilized in conjunction with Fairey in the backfield. I'm not sure if Thenor can catch the football, but he could be an option out of the backfield, I'd Imagine.

Anyone who follows me on Twitter, anyone who reads my reports will know what I think of this kid. One of the best edge-rushers in the PCL regardless of division. Double-digit sacks last Fall, would hardly surprise me to see him do it again. Not too many double-digit sack guys returning punts and kicks for touchdowns. Not too many double-digit sack guys with the skills to lead the team in rushing. I'm at a loss for more words on [player_tooltip player_id='263025' first='Sincer' last='Fairey'] at this point.

We list Walker as a LB, that's very well where he might play in 2023, yet his sophomore tape has him all over the field.
