Continue ReadingRecruits are posting their single game and accumulative first three-game highlight reels of the fall 2023 season. That means it’s time to begin our weekly “Friday Film Room Series” report analysis. In this report, I will preview various recruits with posted fall 2023 season films and briefly analyze what stands out for each recruit. Viewing a recruit’s recent highlight film is one of many tools we use to evaluate. This is how we and many college coaches can get a great feel for each recruit and their potential. These reports include a Hudl video or link for each recruit that is viewed and evaluated. Friday Film Room is a weekly report that will be published each week leading up to the end of the 2023 year.
Alexis Ruiz Ortiz Alexis Ruiz Ortiz 6’5″ | 325 lbs | OL Killingly Ct. | 2024 New E Class of 2024 | 6”5 343lbs | OT/DT | Killingly Football | 3.29GPA|2022ECC All Star |aruizortiz4106@gmail.com|cell:508-723-5954| CT| 79#
Film Review Notes: A new name to our database. He has good size to his frame 6’5″ and moves fairly well (hoops), for his weight 345lbs. I like how he gets off the ball with a low center of gravity and transitions this technique into using very good leverage to move his target. He routinely finishes his blocks by either holding his blocks to the whistle or pancaking the defender with a force of power to the ground. He has a series of clips that show his determination to block 1st to 2nd to 3rd level defenders.rn
His film is heavy run-blocking clips. I’d like to see more clips showing his effectiveness in getting in position to pass pro, punch, and anchor in place. Overall, his run-blocking capabilities are impressive. Holds a Division 1 offer from Marist College.

Film Review Notes: A new name to our database. The rising sophomore has put in the work in the off-season to learn. This season he is delivering. His accuracy is consistent. The placement of his throws are good. Shows good pocket awareness. The vast majority of clips he has in his film appear to be solid placement throws. He does have a few quick-release throws in his film, but not enough to gauge his arm strength. I’d like to see more clips showing a quick release and his ability to change arm angles if needed along with throwing into tight windows. HUDL

Film Review Notes: He is ranked as our #65 Offensive lineman In the New England region. At first glance college coaches may see his height as a concern for the college level. At 6’0″ in height, he falls into low D2/NAIA/All D3 Offensive line grouping on average. The upside is he shines with a good skill set that could help him overcome a college coaches concern and he has time to continue growing. He is a inside offensive lineman. He displays decent foot quickness, foot fire on contact, base, effective getting to the second level, and can run in space. Makes good use of his hands especially in pass pro sets. Plays with a bit of tenacity who is willing to finish his blocks.

Film Review Notes: A new name to our database. At 6’0″ 180lbs his measurables reflect low FCS/High D-2/High NAIA potential. His skill set shows quick feet, illusiveness and dual threat potential. Keeps eyes downfield when on the run. Has the athletic ability to keep plays alive and escape the pocket to make plays with his feet or arm. He can surely get the ball out quickly when needed and with accuracy. Has sufficient power in the short throws including the deep out, comeback, dig, and seam route with slight loft as needed. Can change arm angles to make difficult throws. Best described as a pure athlete on the field and can make defenders miss. Shows good mechanics and command presence. HUDL
Davian Mcdonald 6’2 195| QB | C/O 2025 | Williston Northampton School #6 QB in New EnglandFilm Review Notes: Currently ranked as our #6 QB in the New England Region after spring and summer recruiting action. He is off to a solid start for the season, compiling ten touchdowns and 834-yard all-purpose yards in three games. His measurables reflect FBS group of five and or High FCS Quarterback potential. I’ve viewed his 2022 season film where he displayed a skill set reflecting ability to make tight window accurate throws. Doesn’t panic in the pocket. He continues to deliver the same traits this season showing even more comfortability in the pocket. He steps up nicely into the pocket along with power in his throws downfield. I like the velocity he puts in his throws. His pocket awareness is very good. He continues to use his legs when needed and is very successful when doing so. Timed speed and agility/quickness are traits a college coach will likely want to confirm either in person or at a camp.
