Out of the loop as far as what on tape is Varsity or JV. Looks like the majority are JV reps which is okay. Freshman with multiple interceptions under his belt as an outside corner. Can be used creatively on offense, jet-sweeps at wideout, can play emergency QB, can catch balls as a back or split out at wideout, especially if this is JV ball. Could be a name in the future. Would have likely racked up impressive production had he not been injured. We’ll see what kind of growth is there to be had this coming off-season.

Finally get to see substantial tape, no more guessing whether or not this kid is legit based on reps in a t-shirt. Mathis flaunts a 5-minute tape full of reps that earned his All-Conference honors. First thing that jumps off the tape is the quality reps coming from various alignments, as well as against various route concepts. Quickly, Mathis shows he’s able to play both on and off coverage. Cushion or no cushion, Mathis understands how to use leverage and space to his advantage. Very impressed with this young man at the point of attack. He plays with the penalty-free annoyance, the handsy and pesky type of DB who gives kids of any size trouble. Tape like this will have Mathis flying up our boards. Smart football player, aware of his surroundings, aware of the sticks, aware of opposing passing concepts. Fearless tackler too, you have to approach run support without hesitation, especially if you’re Mathis’ size. Will see how far up he moves on our ranks in the coming weeks.

- Saw him twice in person against stout competition.
Had a solid performance while I was in attendance against SCH. Doubles as a defensive end in a 3-down-linemen front, can be picked inside to shade guards when Malvern Prep deploys four down-linemen. Created a ton of pressure and penetration in this one, flushed out the quarterback on numerous occasions. Doesn’t have a season tape out yet which is a shame, I usually hold off on evals until I can see an encompassing tape that encapsulates an entire season’s worth of reps. Love this kid against opposing guards. He’s beefy enough to stand up to power and mass deployed by IOL, yet time and time again, O’Hair matches a good get-off with good leverage to consistently get penetration into the pocket. Going to want to see more finishing, more production, but again I’ve only seen a couple game clips while adding in my live eval. I’ll check back in when it’s time to get the young man off of the Watchlist.

Promising build, a good 210. Good worker in the weight room from what I can tell. Eval will be based on his mid-season and 6-8 week tapes. Also saw him live against Roman earlier in the year. Capable of manning the middle of the defense, has an interception dropping in coverage while aligned pre-snap at Mike. Next rep he’s aligned at OLB ready to rush the passer. Has the build suitable to station at either position. Has reps playing in the A-B gaps, disrupting, shooting gaps, blitzing. Abdul-Malik is a front-seven piece that colleges can get creative with. Creativity in terms of pre-snap alignment, as well as creativity off-the-field. In which direction might a suitor push him toward? More weight, staying slim, both are options. Should be getting calls right about now.

OLB role at Trinity Camp Hill, carries a bit of a thicker build than I’d imagine for a basketball kid too. An edge-setting OLB that plays the run well, sifts through traffic headed his way with the intention of locating and bringing down ball carriers. Consistently stands up his man, good power, sheds, and makes tackles at the LOS. Interested in seeing if he has any pass-rushing capabilities, his tape is somewhat short but he’s still an underclassman. Will have a better feel for off-LOS cover skills. Right now, he’s a big run supporter who has the potential to grow as a cover guy, Would love to see him work in person.

Has a ton of single-game cut-ups, so I’ll wait to evaluate him for our rankings update until after he puts out a full season’s worth of tape. Happy just to have tape considering I wasn’t working with much coming into the season. Albeck’s a path-paving center who can double as a guard if needed. Albeck is beefy enough to throttle smaller nose guards or IDL. Centers are usually on the smaller side of the lineman spectrum, Albeck sits on the opposite end of said spectrum, which is a good thing. A clear attention paid to steering defenders out of gaps and getting his backside in either A-gap, does a good job of this if nothing else. Centers carry a ton of responsibility, would love to know how far he’s come manning the middle of the unit. Combo blocks well, obviously, it’s tough for me to decipher if he’s keying the right defenders. Yet, I’m inclined to believe he is, considering he’s blocking for one of the best backs in the state. Happy to see him prove our preseason ranking right.

Happy to see one of my favorite traits out of Holmes displayed on the first rep of his junior tape. One of the smoothest, easiest gliders at his position. Holmes is a tough kid to stay on the hip of if you’re not physical with him at some point throughout his route. A free release, one where he can rev up his stride, he’s going to beat you deep. Phenomenal with the ball coming down, hand-eye coordination is at its best right now. Tape shows off his ability to score from various pre-snap locations. Throw a fade inside of the 15, Holmes can stack and create a window for his QB to throw into. You can bet he’ll come down with the football too. Yes, he can stretch the field vertically, yes Holmes can serve as a red zone eater, yet I don’t think I give enough voice to the chain-mover he can be inside of 12 yards. Malvern Prep doesn’t live or die by the deep ball, Holmes being a trustworthy stick/hitch/slant/curl catcher inside of 12 yards is crucial for this offense to get going. Holmes’ junior tape showcases he can flash his numbers back to the QB and, again, provide a window to throw into. Expect an already highly-ranked prospect to stay or even climb after we release our next rankings update. Special player.
