Had the chance to see him work in person against rival Parkland HS a couple weeks back. Was impressed with his overall performance at right tackle, his live performance matches what you see on tape. Dissecting OL reps in person is always tough, the traffic and field angle isn't suitable to see things correctly, yet time and time again, I found Kinney steering and bulldozing kids out of gaps to open up some impactful lanes for backs to run behind. Kinney also aligned at DE/IDL to provide two-way reps, best to not have this young man on the sideline if it can be helped.rnrnReleased a three-and-a-half minute mid-season tape that highlights the fact that Kinney is still one of the best two-way linemen the state has to offer. The MS tape showcases Kinney's defensive prowess a bit more than my live evaluation. This tape warrants some PWO attention from some of the best programs in the Northeast, it's a name I'll be sending despite the fact he's probably built relationships with the many FCS schools clamoring for him. Excellent player.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-651a16d0a8404"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/SeanKinney_78/status/1706829671269109965","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/SeanKinney_78/status/1706829671269109965 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["255743"],"_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":"u003culu003ern tu003cliu003e5'11, 180u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003e3rd all-time in Nazareth's history, (receptions)u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003ea whopping 18 offers to his name.

Said tape better encapsulates his all-around game, a game that led to all-state honors in the past. A pure weapon whose skill set demands the football. Can operate out of the slot, can operate as an X-receiver, can play DB. Heavily involved in LOS sets that focus on getting him the ball quickly. Special acceleration after he catches and transitions to becoming a ball carrier. We've seen flashes of the elite return skills Kuehner has shown in the past. His additional reps blocking and playing in the front seven make him one of the better all-around prospects out of D11.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-651a16d0a8382"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["281286"],"_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":"u003culu003ern tu003cliu003eunoffered senioru003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eranked as a top 50 senior wideout.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003e5'11, 180u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003e3.7 GPAu003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernrnHad a quiet yet impactful game against Parkland.

Primaries as an EDGE/DE defender, 6'3, 225-pound frame, a lean one, is suitable for his role. Surprised this kid isn't getting much traction, I'd imagine he'd impress coaches in a camp setting if I'm being honest. Like to obtain control via hand usage when attacking tackles, has enough upper body strength to shock with his hands and physically move tackles out of his way. So good early in reps, slippery, creates penetration off the snap well. At his worst, he can control a gap, extend arms, and absorb ball-carriers hitting his hole. At best, Banghart can provide quick penetration forcing offensive sets to break down as soon as they begin. Good disruptor.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-651a16d0a8540"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/owenbanghart11/status/1705713585890955283","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/owenbanghart11/status/1705713585890955283 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='893811' first='Jake' last='Englehart']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Nazareth ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003culu003ern tu003cliu003e6'2, 260u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003e3.8 GPAu003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eHas a roster spot from Wilkesu003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernMistook him for [player_tooltip player_id='255065' first='Sean' last='Kinney'] when I first arrived on the sideline. Similar build, recorded some good stops alongside Kinney and Banghart along the defensive line. I kept my eye on 71 throughout the game, left tackle reps opposite of Kinney at right tackle. Based on what I saw live, I'm happy to find out that D3s are in on this kid, it's warranted.rnrn`A check on his mid-season tape doubles down on what I saw in person, while also providing some context as to how he pass-protects and works in space. His mid-season will show a lot of the same that I've described above in terms of run-blocking. Impactful drive if he gets his hands inside a kid's plate. Great down-blocker, has a wide first step. More impressed with his ability to kick-slide a bit and handle edge pressure. Can move out in space too, not the more elite mover in terms of athleticism but he gets the job done once he finds his target. Good player, will be ranked at the end of the season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-651a16d0a85ba"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1054352' first='Jed' last='Bendekovits']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Nazareth","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003culu003ern tu003cliu003etrack participantu003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003e5'10, 175u003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernHe might be an unranked senior, yet he had himself a game against Parkland. Brought down [player_tooltip player_id='164518' first='Trey' last='Tremba'] on numerous occasions, which is something that wasn't done often by the Nazareth defense if I'm being honest. Bendekovits also recovered the fumble created by Banghart, which came at a crucial time in the game. With Wimberly going down, Bendekovits stepped up at back in ways that had me asking about his name. Big run after big run, big pass-pro blocks after pass-pro blocks, this senior left an impression on me.rnrnI can argue that his Parkland performance was likely his best so far. considering many of the Parkland reps are seen throughout his compilation. Yet you can get a clearer picture of the role presented to Bendekovits and how he flourishes in said role. Can play off-tackle in reps out of gun, can catch screens, can block in the pocket. Not an overly athletic prospect, yet one likely to please his coaches via assignment execution.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-651a16d0a8676"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["255084"],"_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":"u003culu003ern tu003cliu003e5'11, 160u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eholds two offers out of Lehigh and Lafayette.u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eranked as a top 100 junior.u003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernWith the offense losing Wimberly for the majority of this one, [player_tooltip player_id='646749' first='Caleb' last='Newsome'] practically put the offense on his back, securing two touchdowns that kept Nazareth in the game.

All the love is warranted. Offers out of West Virginia, Old Dominion, Florida Au0026amp;M, Wimberly is a prospect worthy of an hour+ trip. The game against Parkland was full of studs, so my time out there was well spent. Wimberly was knocked out of this one due to injury, yet he could have re-entered the game. Starting back and corner, Wimberly was a shoelace away from taking an inside handoff 80+ yards for a score.

Checking out the top-three ATH's tape, you can quickly see why I am so high on the young man. Exemplary patience at back, has a different gear between the tackles, can set up his blocks in space or while filtering through the front seven. An elite burst that I've become accustomed to.

I'm known for being hard on QBs, yet Falzone throwing 100+ passes without turning the football over as a passer is incredibly impressive. Falzone has so much room to grow, yet his ability to orchestrate the offense and complete over 63% of his passes is an awesome sign, considering his age. Having Kuehner and Newsome to throw to at all levels of the field makes things easier, shouldn't take away from the young man's impressive start to the season.
