Top Prospect Report: Westmount Secondary

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today, I'm taking a look at Westmount Secondary's top prospects on their 2023 roster. Located in Hamilton, Ontario, Westmount is home to four consecutive city championships and the wildcats will attempt to make it five as the regular season wraps up soon. Look for a strong core of their seniors to pick up offers after the season and find homes at the next level.</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><em><strong>DB: Zachary Pain, 6'1" 190</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pain has experience at both corner &amp; safety; he's a fearless run fitter who can tackle in space and has the footwork &amp; patience to play man coverage. He fights to stay square &amp; keep inside leverage in his backpedal and has the closing speed to quickly bottle up quick game receptions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>OL: [player_tooltip player_id='1240208' first='Adam' last='Woods'], 6'2" 275</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Woods fires off the ball with low pads, rolls his hips on contact, and fires his hands on a rise. He stays hip-to-hip on double teams and has exceptional turnover on his knee drive. He plays with an edge to him and looks to bury his opponent as a run blocker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>DE: [player_tooltip player_id='1260689' first='Sean' last='Dunbrack'], 6'4" 225</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sean has good size, speed, and an unrelenting motor. He's got long arms, he can fight through pullers on the inside and shows another gear as a rusher after defeating first-level pass blocks &amp; getting the quarterback in his sights.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>DB: Jacob Pietrantonio, 5'11" 160</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jacob is quite instinctive, he understands route concepts and how offenses want to exploit coverage &amp; is a physical tackler after the catch. He shows quick footwork, a strong off-hand jam to widen a receiver's release, and will match a target's hands with his hands when they're attempting to haul in a pass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>TE: Jahkeem Irons, 6'6" 200</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The intrigue for this kid is very real. Irons is 6'6" with quality ball skills and knows how to use his frame as a weapon to post up defenders. He's shown a ton of pop behind his punch, and the body control to adjust to underthrown balls. He needs to add weight and prove that he can block inline, but I think his upside is sky-high. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>WR: Brock Pd, 5'6" 145</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A jitterbug-type receiver with nifty moves, vision, dynamite change of direction, and impressive build-up speed. He's creative through chaos and can turn a quick game route into an explosive play. Don't let his size fool you, this kid is a baller. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
