Has football future on Saturdays.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Kian Lamson, DB, Harry Ainlay (2024)</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/Kianlamson">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>I could tell from Kiam's first two reps on tape, that this kid has an excellent football IQ and has a great knack when it comes to positioning within his enhanced reads of pass coverage. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>He also shows off plenty of fluidity when it comes to his footwork when pressing in 1v1s, as he has the reactive instincts to get back to the ball and also has glue instincts especially on intermediate and deep routes. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Kiam also has a feisty bite of physicality as from the reps I watched out him making contact, this kid could certainly force some more fumbles in the upcoming 2023 season with how significant his trigger shows off to be especially when he gets downhill consistently on tape.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='887030' first='Sam' last='Metcalfe'], LB, Harry Ainlay (2025)</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/_sammetcalfe22">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Sam certainly plays with a chip on his shoulder on every play, as this kid shows off to my eyes as a linebacker prospect that with his athletic mobility can be an asset from sideline to sideline.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Sam also is everything you want from the linebacker position with his physicality, as this kid unleashes a hefty punch coming from anywhere on the football field. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>He certainly is not a linebacker you want to give a free pass to into the backfield as he also shows off plenty of trigger within his first steps and also has great positioning with his tackles. Sam for sure like a linebacker that will be playing on Saturdays in my eyes already, as a junior and one of our top linebackers in the 2025 class for all of Canada.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Jacob St. Hilaire, ATH, Harry Ainlay (2024)</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/JSAINT282">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Jacob is a wide receiver that shows off plenty of fluidity within his route running, and has plenty of consistency with that speed from start to finish as it shows off heavily on his deep routes.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>I love the way this kid works with his vision to find openings in the open field, as he has plenty of instinctive athletic movement to turn a short gain into a touchdown real quick.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>I also like Jacob's skillsets when it comes to adjusting back to the ball, as even on a vertical route, he shows solid awareness on coming back to the ball and shows off eye-appeal hands in a handful of tight windows. Saw some of Jacob's KR/PR clips too, and this kid shows that he can flip the field and turn a handful of nothing plays into huge buckets of yards. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->

href="https://twitter.com/bishopadeniyi_">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Bishop is another prospect to watch from Harry Ainlay on special teams as he shows off long field vision that has the patience to let the play develop in small space to get downfield smoothly.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Bishop is also a significant asset in Harry Ainlay's receiving core if you need that first down, as this kid consistently shows off an awareness of football IQ of knowing where the first down markers are to consistently be a first down threat looking quickly ahead at the 2023 season upcoming.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>He has some development on growing a quicker twitch when he breaks on his routes, however I think this upcoming season is where you see Bishop take that stride forward as a senior and show off even more versatility within his game as another Harry Ainlay prospect I like playing at the next-level.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph

wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>George is a quarterback prospect that has some growth brewing with his mechanics, however has a good base of fluidity with his quick release and and also shows good versatility getting out of the pocket and getting those tough-earned yards.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>The deeper I got into George's tape, the more I liked watching his precision as he allows the plethora of his wide receivers to catch and go with all the patience he has, and speed he gets to work with in his receiving core.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>He also shows off plenty of touch on his ball and excels that touch best on intermediate routes as he logged 19 total touchdowns (13 passing, 6 rushing) during his 2022 season in which I expect even strong numbers from George in 2023.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!--

player_id='892339' first='Crown' last='Otoro']'s downhill presence coming off the edge this spring is certainly a freight train with plenty of strength you don't want to mess with.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>This kid also has excellent quick hands off his sheds and is an edge rusher that you won't want to give a free

wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>I also love this kid's vision as that was what consistently stuck with me when I first evaluated him as he seems to always be around the ball and looks like to be on a track to be playing college football as a 6'3 205 pound defensive end that has plenty of growth left to give in a college weight room.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
