That is what he did last week as he turned in another stellar performance in the ground game. He is a durable runner who plays with grit and determination. He can get the tough yards and finishes his runs with power and good lean.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654cefd72d191"} /--> <!-- wp:image {"id":766020,"width":"398px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/04/VideoCollage412.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-766020" style="width:398px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1080629"],"_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":"Logan Gelinas u003cstrongu003eBurrillville High School, Rhode Island: u003c/strongu003eThe junior quarterback did it with his feet – 13 carries for 60 yards and a score – and his arm, completing 13 of 18 passes for 125 yards and two touchdowns.rnrnHe led his team with a big effort in many phases of the game. At 5'11u0022 180lbs he brings a leadership character combined with a competitive demeanor to any program. In a situation in which panic can overtake a quarterback, the junior exudes confidence. A main trait that is needed to play college-level football. However, his versatility is what many coaches will see that stands out with this young man.rnrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654ba09ab4313"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1079300"],"_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":"Kevin Todisco u003cstrongu003eSalem High School, New Hampshire:u003c/strongu003e He had 214 all-purpose yards and scored four touchdowns.

Runs with good lean and uses his loose hips to twist, turn, spin or juke away from defenders. He finds the soft spot in zone coverages while using good hand and eye coordination to bring in the catch.  Has very good athletic skill set.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654bbea5cd25f"} /--> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["734470"],"_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":"Scott Hershberger u003cstrongu003eCampbellu003c/strongu003e u003cstrongu003eHigh School, New Hampshire: u003c/strongu003eThe rising sophomore used his legs this weekend to make a statement.  He ran for five touchdowns during playoff action. Many of the runs were from wildcat direct snap and finding the running lanes, which he did well.  His loose hips allowed him to wiggle in and out of traffic by planting and cutting away from defenders en route to the endzone. He also flashed his pull-away speed in the open field.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654ba09ab4382"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15920327/6546bc08b3d2120f283426e2' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654d02131e7d1"} /--> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1079242"],"_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":"Sean Kilty u003cstrongu003eStoneham High School, Massachusetts:u003c/strongu003e The junior running back/inside linebacker was around the ball with 147 rushing yards on 17 carries, the game-winning touchdown in the third quarter, and a pair of 2-point conversions.

A talented player on both sides of the ball.  Pegged as a very good run-support defender who can cover well and deliver bone-crushing hits from the free safety position.
