2023 Highlight Film Eval: He has an abundance of clips of him aligned as an edge defender/ outside linebacker. His large frame can’t be ignored on film. He tackles with a very low pad level and shows his ability to bend on a few of the tackles that have him crashing down hard to blitz the QB. His film lacks clips showing sideline-to-sideline pursuit angles, speed, and his ability to play in zone/man coverages.
His offense skill set could be a recruiting attraction for some coaches that may like his range, soft hands, and willingness and ability to block in the passing game. All while being positioned at a tight end. With some continued development in this position, he could see college attention increase as a result of being versatile and having the large frame that he has.
His physical measurables (Height and weight) align with the Div-1 FBS Group of 5 or High FCS linebackers. His athletic testing numbers will need to be verified before a good projection can be determined for college-level play.
He was ranked as our # 60 linebacker in the class of 2025 before the 2023 season. He earned 2023 All-State Div-1 Team honors in New Hampshire for his linebacking play.

2023 Highlight Film Eval: A patient runner who keeps his feet moving on first contact with good lean. Runs with good power and balance. He has good acceleration, balance, and effort while showing quickness and instincts such as quick jump cuts to make defenders miss. He has clips showing the willingness to execute blocks on moving defenders out on the perimeter. Flashes the skills to be able to see the holes open up and feel 1st level to 2nd level. Seen as a durable runner that has good lower and upper body strength with a large frame. His film lacks clips showing him being used in the passing game to get a complete feel for his catching radius and hands.
His physical measurables (Height & Weight) align with Div-1 FBS Power 5 Running backs. He is a new prospect name that has come to our attention from earning 2023 All-State Div-1 Team honors in New Hampshire. He will be included in our new updated rankings release.

2023 Highlight Film Eval: He is easily seen as the most physically dominant player on the field in all of his highlight clips. He is athletic enough to stay ahead of the ball carrier in the open field and demonstrate the body control to block in space. I like how he plays with excellent pad level by demonstrating a natural knee bend, having a devastating hand punch against the pass rush, and being able to lock on defenders and control them. Displays great balance, rarely on the ground. Easy to view him dominating the LOS, and putting HS players on their backs.
Has Div -1 offers at the FBS level and additional offers will spike between now and 2024 season. His physical measurables (Height and weight) align with Div-1 FBS Power 5 Offensive linemen. He was ranked as our # 5 Offenisve linemen in the class of 2025 before the 2023 season. He earned Massachusetts super 26 All-State Team Honors as a offensive linemen for his season performance.

2023 Highlight Film Eval: His athleticism stands out. His leadership qualities are attractive and obvious. On offense, he aligns at the quarterback position where he can threaten many high school-level defenses. His defensive skills are what i see attracting colleges. He is a ball hawk who shines in zone defense while playing safety. He has a great sense and awareness of where the ball is being thrown when it’s in the air. He appears to have a decent vertical range and he uses it to high-top the ball when it’s in his range. Has playmaking abilities.
His physical measurables (height & weight) align with Low D2/NAIA/D-3 Safety’s. He plays with obvious aggression on defense. He is projected as a defensive back at the next level. He earned All-State team honors as a Defensive Back for his season performance.

2023 Highlight Film Eval: He has solid footwork to go with his size and strength. The first impression skill trait that grabbed my attention was his ability to maintain gap integrity. He displays the ability to beat HS offensive linemen. Solid get-off. Flashes the ability to win at the line of scrimmage. Has decent footwork and leverage in the run game for his size. Can get off blocks. Will need to develop more lean muscle and less body fat percentage, while also developing additional quickness in his footwork to be more effective at the next level.rn
