Now, reclassed at St. George's School in Rhode Island, Pollard looks like a different animal. His tape weight was at 240 pounds, he now boasts a 6'4, 255-pound frame. Pollard's weight gain has flowed throughout his body, not just belly fat he's added on. He still looks good for his size. He's now that much stronger and has transitioned to show off a much more powerful side of his game. His junior tape leaves a lot to be desired, however. There are two minutes of fabulous tape, if he can make that four-five plus minutes of production, I'd feel much more comfortable plugging him inside the top 200. Still, a fun prospect to watch, one that is on the rise.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64aec354cf84a"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JulianPollard14/status/1625870306135969792?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/JulianPollard14/status/1625870306135969792?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href=""></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["405292"],"_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='405292' first='Conor' last='Weeks']rnrnu003cspan class=u0022css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0u0022u003eS, C, DT| 5'11” 210 lbs| St. George's 24'|Rubio Longsnapping 4.5 u003c/spanu003eu003cspan class=u0022css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0u0022u003e| 3.7 GPA| TOP 12 Invitee | 1280 SAT | Email: conor_weeks@stgeorges.edu| Phone: 774-343-2977. u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan class=u0022css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0u0022u003eProjected College Position: Long Snapper: Perfect as a punt snapper/PAT/FG snapper in 2022. u0022Rubiou0022 Long-snapping prospect, '23.u003c/spanu003ernrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64aec354cf87d"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["679103"],"_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='679103' first='Harry' last='Salters']rnrnThayer c/o 2024 6'5” TErnrnu003cstrongu003e2022 season notes:  u003c/strongu003e215 rec, 4-82rnrnHUDL: u003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/15221890/63b79f4f02b2130afcbb63beu0022u003ehttps://www.hudl.com/video/3/15221890/63b79f4f02b2130afcbb63beu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64aec354cf8ae"} /--> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Top Class of 2025 Prospects to Know:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["405293"],"_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='405293' first='Diego' last='McCray']rnrnSt. George's School | CO 2025 | ATH | 2x All ISL 1st-team | 2x All NEPSAC HM| 6'1 180 diego_mccray@stgeorges.edu | cell : 4014809756rnrnProjected College Position: OLB/SS u0026amp; Slot Receiver/X Receiver.

Those accolades earned him All ISL Honors  and All NEPSAC honorable mention as a sophomore. His film shows he has a high ceiling as he will likely get much bigger faster and stronger before any colleges get him on their campus. He is a smooth rout runner thats gives a nice target to his qb.  Solid hands are also visible.  On defense he plays the edge well with a motor.  He plays to the whistle and seems to always put himself in positions to make plays. He is currently ranked as our 4th best athlete in the 2024 from the New England region.  A solid Jr season could be a breakout college interest year in 2022.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64d3972865747"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["385256"],"_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='385256' first='Jack' last='Austin']rnrnu003cspan class=u0022css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0u0022u003e25' QB u003c/spanu003eu003cspan class=u0022css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0u0022u003e| 5'10 ft 170 lbs || 3.6 GPA || jaustin@wma.us || 508-369-2999u003c/spanu003ernrn(2022 Transfer from Wilbraham u0026amp; Monson Academy ) 5'10u0022, 180 LBS.

He can change arm angles when needed.  Command presence in the pocket is seen.  He may experience the height concern from college programs, but overall he knows how to play the position.  Has time to continue developing.  Solid recruit.rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64ef45e14fd2d"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JackAustinQB/status/1649396026057412608?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/JackAustinQB/status/1649396026057412608?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":"","_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-64ef3f2e9a46c"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["974215"],"_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='974215' first='Felix-Antoine' last='Dionne']rnrnLevis, Canada.
