ATH: Keyshawn Manning Keyshawn Manning 5'9" | 180 lbs | RB Catholic Central | 2025 CAD , 5’9″ 180
Manning had noticeable production in 2022, accounting for 1,225 total yards. He shows patience behind the line, an upright running style, and is a physical pass protector who will step up & deliver the boom on opposing rushers. He’s slippery through contact and has plenty of wiggle to make tacklers miss in space.
ATH: Nathan Summers, 5’10” 170
Summers is a kid who excelled on both sides of the football in 2022, but today I wanted to evaluate his upside at the quarterback position. He’s got a quick release, throws well on the move, and is a high-impact runner between the tackles. He has the improvisational skills to extend against free rushers and keeps his eyes downfield looking for a potential target.
WR: Garin Roles, 6’1″ 190
Roles has no hesitation going over the middle of the field, he has nautral body control and catches everything within the framework. He can make tough catches out of awkward body positions and is a rugged runner after the catch. He’s got solid size and a high football IQ to go with it.
ATH: Tyson Serpa, 5’9″ 145
On offense, Serpa is a reliable target who averaged just over 30 yards per catch last fall and will get friendly to the quarterback on the scramble drill. On defense, he shows solid recovery speed, the ability to defeat perimeter blocks & provide run support, and is extremely competitive on 1 on 1 throws.
ATH: Marcus Fleury, 5’10” 160
Fleury is a serious redzone playmaker equipped with good speed, the ability to make something happen after the catch, and an innate awareness to get north & south following a reception. He plays bigger than his listed size, he knows how to use his body to shield the football from defenders on contested catches, and has instant acceleration when he gets his hands on the football.
