From what I can tell, he has all the chance in the world to earn that top-back spot when post-season rankings drop. Henry has a mid-season tape showcasing his prowess on both sides of the ball, posted just nine days ago too. Muscular build for a freshman, works in tight two-TE sets. Usually backs with this short of a stride don't have long speed, Henry Jr. does, seen taking some handoffs 60+ yards to the house while being chased by DBs. Bowling bowl style of running. Marries toughness and speed, the combination has landed him in front of the eyes of FBS programs. Makes fantastic decisions when running off tackle from gun sets, he trusts his vision behind the LOS. Later on tape, you'll see his abilities at safety. A hammer of a tackler, one who seeks the ball carrier in the same fashion he seeks the hole on offense. Hard to imagine a program like Central Valley deploying a 5'8 freshman safety. In order for this to be the case, they MUST trust him in run support at the very least. He's certainly earned that. The box-safety position almost looks too easy for this kid. Ball carriers opposite him won't outrun him, won't outpower him, so there isn't a 1v1 that Henry will show hesitance in. Special player, there aren't 27 kids better than him currently.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65410f2a0d32e"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["913667"],"_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":"Didn't get the chance to see Bishop Canevin during my trip out to Western PA this past weekend, which is a shame.

I imagine he's calm in the huddle too, which has to surprise some of the champions in that group. Accuracy on out-routes is a plus, love his timing when targeting routes under 15-yards downfield. Is going to have to carry along the measurable questions for the rest of his career, way to early to be harping on this though, what he's accomplished as a freshman at PR is fascinating to watch from afar.

Even though I like this young man enough to say he's a top-three corner in his class, I'm going to have to move him to athlete after watching him work on offense. Usually aligns at back, can run routes, can run inside out, can serve as a wildcat QB when ICA wants to get creative. The offensive production is the cherry on top of the elite reps I see from his slot corner / linebacker position. Fabulous clean-up hitter, an even better 1v1 tackler too. Incredible closing speed to the flats in run support of outside zone sets. Multiple interceptions to his name.

I'm going to have trouble attempting to pick someone other than Hill when I rework our top running back rankings this post-season. His mid-season was a joy to watch. All of this talk about yardage and his tape shows off his abilities at corner first. Love the complete trust in his own abilities when at corner. There's hardly any panic to his game because he knows he's a better athlete than the kid across from him. He's going to have to keep improving on technique and learn as time progresses, for right now, you're going to have to out-athlete this kid on the boundaries. good luck with that. Seeing Hill work after interceptions quickly implies he should be used in space on offense, that he is, as Hill is an easy choice to be used out of the backfield if needed. Soft hands to reel in picks and passes. Can serve as a kick and punt return man as well. Love his reaction speed after receiving the handoff, kid makes a decision, usually the right one too. Acceleration skill are at an elite level, angle-breaking acceleration after he hits the second level. Where Jance Henry might be a bit tougher to bring down, Hill is more likely to run past you.

I try very hard to not exaggerate when I write on kids, for their own good. That being said, there is no question who is the top overall player in this class. I can't remember the times where I've truly felt that teams should seriously gameplan away from a freshman prospect, I'm talking any position. I'm going to do a complete breakdown of this kid's game at a later date, because this his play is worthy of a complete/solo detailed piece. I have only done those for Omillio Agard and J'Ven Williams. That should give you an idea of the level this kid is at. Based on the tape I have of Moon, I'd bet that he doesn't move from the top spot two-three years from now either. Again, call it hyperbole, call it too soon, I'm not afraid to call it how I see it.

McKeesport has some studs in front of Robinson, so he's going to have to wait his turn. I think he's done enough to earn excitement/trust from the coaching staff. Some of the best high-pointing I've seen from a freshman in some time, looks like he's playing 7v7 the way he can leap and attack the football. His radius extends high above his frame, he's an easy target for the QB to lob balls up to, but his tape shows a bit more than just a 50/50 ball prospect. Robinson has gotten active in the return game, an area where he could better show off his skills with the ball in his hands. Same goes for reps at Wildcat QB. You can see his stride in these scenarios a bit better than watching him sky for jump balls. Served the single-high safety role. This will likely be the most fun he will have ever had in a HS setting, he's been toying with kids all season.

Kemon certainly had him moments, I was more fond of his build at such a young age over anything he did on the field. Once his full-season tape drops, I can properly dissect his game.

Good read u0026amp; react ability to passes thrown in curl/flat zones in his area. Can be a lot to handle when coming downhill. A trustworthy tackler this early into his HS career, huge positive. Runs to the football, good motor on his for a DB. Still might be trying to carve out a role for himself on offense, this could always come at a later date. Will likely be ranked as a DB moving forward.

I stress the u0022beforeu0022 part. Ricciuti isn't blindly elevating over JV kids who have no shot, this is varsity ball where he's going to have to use more than his athleticism to win against some DBs on the other side. Stacking, hand-fighting, all of this turns the 50/50 ball to 60/40 in his favor. Loving his usage, he isn't just a goal-line or outside-the-numbers guy, WC gets him involved in the slot, gets him involved under 15 yards too. I see some TE chip u0026amp; release screens called for him in tight too. This is all good for him to soak up early. He's a hands catcher, one that doesn't let the ball hit his chest. Not horrible YAC ability, I think he could be better since he's only 190 pounds, he runs well without the ball though.

Better than anything, real, tangible varsity production. 28 TDs at Western Beaver, eclipsing the 2,400-yard mark while he was at it. Little bit of a unique delivery, one that works. Peel keeps that off-arm tight to the ribcage, which is a plus for most quarterbacks. A ton of throwing-arm extension with his front foot firmly planted in the dirt. I have to remind myself often that this is Peel's first year and he's already looking better than some sophomore and junior passers that I know. I want to nitpick at Peel's game because he's got real potential to be special down the line. Awesome to see his off-season work translate onto the field. He's put together a special freshman tape, that's something he can work on heading into the next long off-season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65410f2a0dbe7"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["913341"],"_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":"Cut-ups, no full varisty or JV tape.
