Five Standouts From Around Canada

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today, I'm looking at some talented ball players from all over Canada. When I turned on the tape, each of these young men jumped out to me and displayed viable traits for the next level. Their upside is tremendous, and it's my belief that they're only going to get better. Scouts need to get them on their radar before someone else scoops them up and it's too late. I have a feeling their 2023 highlight films are going to be pretty intriguing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always, If you have someone you think I need to see, please DM them to me on Twitter at @hsfbscout! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>WR:</em></strong> <em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='881343' first='Alexander' last='Fairbank'] 5'10" 170, Paul Kane</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alexander can the take top off a defense, he's got the body control to adjust &amp; make tough catches on underthrows and has excellent concentration in traffic. He can climb the ladder to high point the football and is a brute runner after the catch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>OL: [player_tooltip player_id='887037' first='James' last='Carr'] 6'4" 320, Paul Kane</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carr has the size, bend, anchor, and power to be a successful center prospect. He jolts out of his stance to work back on three techniques replacing pullers, he's got heavy hands at the point of attack and has some positional versatility under his belt. Carr has some things he needs to work on like his pad level and knee drive once he's engaged, but I think there's a ton of upside here and colleges will see that too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>LB: [player_tooltip player_id='866801' first='Eric' last='Watson'] 6'2" 220, Parkland</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Watson is a playmaker at inside linebacker, equipped with instincts, outstanding initial burst, and the lateral quickness to elude first-level blocks. He's got adequate size for the position, solid range, and is a core four special teamer. He's fluid working in space and has a knack for forcing fumbles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>DT: James Murphy, 6'2" 245, Parkland</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Murphy can generate ridiculous force out of his stance and has shown on tape that he can rag-doll offensive linemen in the run game. He plays with an edge on both sides of the football, he's got mits for hands that are nearly impossible to detach from and has a great first step off the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>WR: [player_tooltip player_id='887081' first='Ethan' last='Bilo'] 5'9" 155, Hunting Hills</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A highly productive wide receiver who projects as a slot at the next level. Ethan is explosive with the ball in his hands and can olé defenders in space. He's got plenty of build-up speed, potent ball skills and takes pride in blocking on the outside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
