2023 Season Previews: Trinity Shamrocks (Camp Hill)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After a slow start in 2022 that saw the Shamrocks start off the season 1-3, Trinity got the ball rolling and would be tough to be at the rest of the year. They would win five of their last six regular-season matchups, with their only loss coming against Steelton-Highspire. In the playoffs, they would take care of Delone Catholic, Annville-Celona, West Catholic, and Executive Education Academy Charter School before falling to Southern Columbia 42-7.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["386280"],"_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":"Our top-ranked prospect in the class of 2026, Mickens, is already a national-level prospect who will be one of the top overall recruits in his class.

The 24′ prospect moves with some finesse, getting to the LB and finishing his blocking assignments assertively. His punch is good and sure to keep improving with weight training. On defense, he explodes out of his stance with a low pad level and does a great job with hand violence. His 6'5 frame is often an issue for those smaller QBs. Helmkamp shows mobility redirecting, and he's still adding bulk. I think more FBS programs should evaluate and pull the trigger. I mean, look at his strength, his weight gain, his athleticism, his agility, and wingspan. The kind of athletic ability he displays is above average. Plus he's gonna grow into a solid college OT which aren't easy to locate. Right now, Helmkamp has an FBS Army offer u0026amp; various FCS scholarships on the table. I think the MAC, Sun Belt, and Conference USA programs need to evaluate him fast. It couldn't hurt for the local programs like Pitt, WVU and Penn State to get him into their respective camps either.u0022","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["386321"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Young is an intruiguing prospect that has earned a top-10 wide receiver spot and a top-100 spot overall in the class of 2025.
