Unfortunately, the majority of teams have began their offseason. Among those teams that are preparing for next fall are 2025s that look like they are ready to see their recruitment take off. I expect to see these athletes make big strides, and also dominant showcases and camps. In the end, I also feel these athletes are going to see the offers also start to come in from the college level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["942596"],"_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":"Dane looks like the athlete in position to have the biggest recruitment blowup this offseason. That is because he has some of the best junior film that I have seen so far in WI. The DeForest LT is built like a D1 athlete, standing 6'6u0022 300 lbs. The things Dane does at that size is what sets him apart from the majority, and has me so excited for his future. The big man has made huge strides in his athleticism and all things movement related. The standout OT has excellent balance and body control. He is now able to easily slide laterally, change direction, and mirror pass rushers without reaching or getting off balance. He is trusting his feet, and uses his length to his advantage. Dane can also burst out of his stance in the run game and generate a lot of power at contact. The 2025 has a well rounded, and still developing game at the OT position. He is going to be a need to know prospect this offseason. Give the tape a click.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654447d5dd673"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16078362/653d89df478cf5046ca4ef6b' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654447d5dd6c2"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["291879"],"_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":"Evrett took the next step in his junior season. He proved to be the superior athlete on every field he stepped on in 2023. On both offense and defense, the 6' 185 lbs junior plays at a different speed. He can pull away in the open field, roam a large region of the field, and close quickly or make people miss in tight quarters. Evrett is able to play even faster because he is so quick to process or make decisions. The junior also trusts what he sees. Tait plays loose and fast. This offseason, I expect to see Evrett make the rounds on the camp circuit, put up impressive numbers, and prove to be able to matchup well with most athletes on the field.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654447d5dd71e"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16273612/65349a4296760609240b0444' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654447d5dd73d"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["685841"],"_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":"2025 is giving us a special, deep TE Class. One of the top prospects in the group is Oconomowoc's [player_tooltip player_id='685841' first='Emmett' last='Bork']. Bork is an exciting, dominant mismatch lined up out wide. The 6'6u0022 215 lbs junior has an impressive release package. He is quick off the line, has the strength to clear the hands off him, and lateral wiggle to get around the DB and stack him. From there, the long WR/TE has the speed to get deep, and his ball tracking skills deep downfield are next level ready. Emmett is going to impress with his receiving talents. The big man uses his size to both go up and get the ball, and box out DBs to protect the ball. I'm excited to see how he continues to grow on the field, and fill out his frame.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654447d5dd78d"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/9810734/6514e669478d4014b092b905' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654447d5dd7aa"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["245971"],"_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":"Malachi is an athlete who has steadily been on the rise in 2023. During his junior season he proved to be a game changer on the field. His athletic profile is going to get him a lot of eyes on him during the offseason/camp cycle. When the coaches go to the film they are going to see that it translates to the field. Mack plays the game faster than the rest of the field. Not only physically, but mentally. You don't see any hesitation. The junior was decisive, quick to recognize or read, and played with little to no wasted movement. When Malachi has the ball in his hands, he is an elusive playmaker with the vision to find the best way to attack the field. His instincts with the ball are very strong. The most exciting part is that Malachi can become even more dangerous of a weapon on offense as he learns the nuanced parts of route running. I'm excited to follow Malachi's offseason, and hopefully see him at some camps.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654447d5dd7fd"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16283891/65063c8d4ba83109100133f5' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654447d5dd818"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["685843"],"_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":"Tyler already possesses traits that many prospects don't ever have. That is the size and strength to be able to hold up to the physicality of playing at a high level of college football. During his junior season we saw Tyler use those traits to be a very reliable run blocker out wide, and a receiver who can fight through contact to catch the ball. After the catch, Lessard easily rips through arm tackle attempts. If you don't wrap up and gang tackle him he is going to give the secondary big troubles. What is going to get him a lot of attention outside of his size and physicality this offseason is solid route running, soft hands, and the mismatch he will be against most HS CBs. Don't overlook the northern WI stud.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654447d5dd864"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17103477/6533dd40041e09073851143d' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654447d5dd87f"} /-->
