Our most recent Showcase was no different. We saw athletes that should garner a lot of attention from college coaches over the next year, and earn multiple offers. To make sure these kids get the spotlight they deserve, I am going to focus on who stood out the most, and what made them stand out.

He had a massive growth spurt this past year. Since then we have seen him really advance his technique and power making him a high end prospect for the next level. Long arms match the big frame, allowing him to make first contact, clamp those big mitts onto this guy, and pull them in to where he can control them. In one on ones, the LT looked very natural against speed rushers. He was able to get deep into his pass set to cut off the DE. Xzavier looked great changing directions in his pass set to mirror counter moves and inside rush attempts. The anchor strength is there to stuff bull rush attempts too. He is a name to know, and a prospect that is just starting to tap into his potential.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656fd3ba26d9b"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["942704"],"_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":"I am very excited to follow Michael over this next year. The potential an unteachable tools/traits are there to build around. First off, he has all the length in the world with his 6'5u0022 frame and long arms. The junior carries his weight very easily and is a clean 250 lbs. Michael did a good job of getting his hands on first and moving his feet so he could stay between the defender and u0022QBu0022. I'm excited because there is so much room to develop. He showed that he takes coaching well, and implemented what he learned from the coaches. Keep an eye on the Marquette OL.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656fd3ba26ded"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["773288"],"_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":"I have known about Mason for a couple seasons now, and he looked better than in Oak Creek. Wolter is a compact IOL prospect. The junior uses his size to his advantage with leverage. That leverage pairs with his anchor strength to provide a stable, secure pocket. The junior flashed a good initial punch. The feet were on display, and impressive in one on ones. He was able to slide laterally to mirror IDL while still holding his ground and not being pushed backwards. It was a good day for the Oconomowoc junior.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656fd3ba26e3b"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["685979"],"_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":"Another exciting junior that will be a need to know prospect. is Monona Grove's guard [player_tooltip player_id='685979' first='Max' last='Sisler']. He is a monster along the interior. His game revolves around his power and short area range/agility. Max shines in the run game. He plays with good lower body flexibility so he can get low and have leverage. At the Showcase we got to see the strength come through in his anchor as he absorbed and overwhelmed anyone that tried to win with power. The big man has heavy hands. Sisler showed that he is able to move side to side to stay square in front of his man. Check out the film.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656fd3ba26e8a"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["991240"],"_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":"Aiden is a prospect to keep an eye on to see how he continues to develop. He has the coveted length you want at 6'4u0022, but will need time to fill out his 230 lbs frame. The athletic abilities look good for the position. He moved well in space during the individual drills. The footwork is there for him to be able to win in every direction in pass or run blocking. Aiden is a raw prospect, but tools are there to work with. I'll be keeping an eye on the Watertown prospect.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656fd3ba26ed6"} /--> <!-- 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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1110338' first='George' last='Rentas']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_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":"Elkhorn","_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":"George put together a good day at the Showcase, earning a spot in one of the Best vs Best reps to end the day. George fits the role of an OG at the next level. There he can rely on his short area movement skills and his strength. Watching him in the one on one reps, it was clear that Rentas has the physical side of the game down. Heavy hands punched and steered DL. His feet were able to get him where he could cut off DL trying tow in with speed. This is another prospect to know from this talented group.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656fd3ba26f93"} /--> <!-- 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":"Kaben Ziegler","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_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":"Whitefish Bay","_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":"Kaben is an intriguing, exciting freshman OT that is showing early signs of being a talented prospect. He has the frame to build on, standing 6'3u0022 and the kid proved to be an athlete at the position. His body control and feet led him to success in multiple one on one battles. He is light on his feet, able to change direction to mirror pass rushers, and was able to run rushers past the QB. Kaben did good to get his hands on first too. Big things ahead for Ziegler as he continues to grow and add strength. This is an underclassmen to know.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656fd3ba27021"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["948120"],"_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":"Another underclassman who came out to show off his stuff was Milwaukee Lutheran's Vincent Hardy. The OL projects as an IOL at this point, but we have plenty of time to watch his frame change and develop. At the Showcase, Hardy was at his best working in tight spaces. Spaces where he could use his mass to his advantage. Hardy made stout blocks, and forced his opponent to have to get around him. I'll be interested in watching his development over these next two years.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656fd3ba27071"} /-->
