A lock to rank amongst his peers. Boasts a 9-2 record as a first-year starter, 2,200 passing yards, and 20 TDs to boot, eye-opening production from an underclassman. 7-minute long tape that showcases Fontanez's ability to stretch the field in an open offense. First rep on tape is a beauty. Ball placement downfield is a strong point. Combines confidence and accuracy, gives the impression that there isn't a ball he isn't comfortable throwing. This opens up the playbook a bit, no need to harness the kid from a structure standpoint. There is a motion-heavy, drawn-out release, especially when throwing deep, he gets his whole body involved. This is a nitpick, something that could easily be tweaked. Accuracy and arm strength aren't hampered by it, must take into account he's still a sophomore. Love his overall pacing, his drop-back mirrors his routes in terms of timing. His eyes are in the right place at the right time. Many times on tape you can see Fontanez get the ball to his weapons in stride and on time so that they can work with the ball in space. Likely to be a heavy producer throughout the rest of his career. If he could gain an inch or two, I wouldn't be surprised to find out important people were interested in the kid.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65440a6904098"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["940942"],"_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 tu003cliu003e6'2, 220u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003e3.7 GPAu003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eyounger brother of Sammy Ayacheu003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernHas a somewhat limited minute-and-a-half-long sophomore tape that shows promise. Stationed shading either side of the tackle. Tape starts with a chunk of TFLs, Emile is going to attempt to make getting into his chest difficult off the snap. If he can punch and widen the distance between he and the OL, he will shed quickly and end up in the backfield. Carries a thinner build which allows him to get skinny in the trenches and slip through gaps. Has some guard experience, seen pulling and locating out of a three-point stance. Has some brute strength in him that I'd love for him to harness down the line. Gain technical prowess, gain some creativity off the snap. He's coached well, excited to see the 2024 version of Emile Ayache.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65440a69040f4"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/emileayache2/status/1715794766124708141","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/emileayache2/status/1715794766124708141 </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":"Cayden Vassa","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Bethlehem Catholic","_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 tu003cliu003e6'0, 170u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003e3.6 GPAu003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernSurprised me when I attended a game in person. In a good way. Doesn't have a regular season or full-season tape out yet, so I'll eval off of his mid-season, released a month before writing. An athlete at the position. First three reps on tape give you a complete vision of the type of QB you're getting. Works in a spread system, he can hit kids deep, so you're going to have to honor the nine routes up the sideline. Duality in his game, you'll find BecaHi calling zone-reads between he and the back out of the same spread system. Said sets utilize Vassa's playmaking instincts, won't attend a BecaHi game without Vassa keying the correct defender and tucking for a first down. Next, you'll see Vassa sprinting out of gun, moving his launch point to attack defenses with flood concepts. Vassa is capable of hurting you with or without his legs. Good improviser.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65440a690419a"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Caydenfootball/status/1708238680559685765","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/Caydenfootball/status/1708238680559685765 </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":"Caiden Charmant","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_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":"Bethlehem Catholic","_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":"No tape out of the 6'5, 275-pound right tackle. Caiden Charmant, the tackle opposite Sammy Ayache would be a hotter name if he could get more tape on his Hudl. He isn't a freshman anymore, so not sure what the excuse is. Thankfully, I recorded every rep in the game I attended against Freedom, so I've got a game of footage of this kid attempting to block some major talent deployed by Freedom. Relatively speaking, Charmant did a pretty good job handling power thrown into his chest. An abundance of leg power, likes to anchor into the turf and bend his back, almost lifting defenders, all the while throwing them off balance. Charmant has a ways to go in terms of blocking speed rushes, saw him get beat a couple of times but that's okay. As an underclassman, Charmant might be considered raw. I'm unaware of how long he's been playing football, or what kind of training he's getting outside of BecaHi. All I know is, I want to share this name with coaches sooner rather than later.

A pick, several tackles, a good amount of production for one of Blue Mountain's better prospects. Ranked as a top 25 junior wideout before the season began. As the numbers suggest, Guers is a big play waiting to happen. BM will often deploy multiple kids in the backfield, whether that be multiple TEs/FBs, etc. Guers along with Swick are the primary wideouts in the offense. Guers gets open on various double-moves, various gotcha-formations that value misdirection. Great hand-eye coordination, comes down with some tough catches downfield. Works well with the sideline, numerous catches outside the numbers. Will receive a bubble screen once/twice a game, he's serviceable with the ball in his hands.

As his ranking suggests, Fotta is likely the best prospect out of this bunch. He's much further along in both power training and technique. Left tackle and DE capable, Fotta packs one hell of a punch on both sides of the ball. Watching him work at tackle, the amount of strength built up in his hips jumps off the screen. He can derail a rush or completely throttle a backer with one punch, not much momentum is necessary. His future position will likely be determined by how his body grows. I personally like him at OT. I want to see him finish blocks, however. There's a mean streak somewhere in this kid, I want to see him win to the whistle, not just after the snap. He's a brute of a DE too. Continuing onto the deeper parts of his tape, I find myself second-guessing my liking to the offensive side of the ball.

Crossman is certainly nimble and athletic, he uses this to his advantage to make getting into his chest difficult for opposing tackles. Crossman has a ways to go in terms of refining pass-rushing skills and building a repertoire, but for now, as a sophomore, you have to be pleased with his overall production. Great motor, has no problem screaming down the LOS to track a ball carrier down.
