John Manning John Manning 5’8″ | 185 lbs | RB Windsor Ct | 2025 State New E Windsor High School RB/LB 5’8 183
2023 Highlight Film Eval: He has a slashing style to his running abilities. He can see the running lanes develop and get into those lanes as a home run threat. He carries a smaller frame that will need to continue developing for colleges to take interest. He appears able to see the holes open up and feel 1st level to 2nd level. Some runners can’t do that and they’re typically going to be ‘gap scheme’ runners or told which hole to go through. He has the critical factors needed for an RB which are Instincts and vision.rn
A good process to LOS, ability to one-cut and get vertical, anticipates well, ability to process vision quickly. His physical measurables (height & weight) align with Low D2/NAIA/All D3 Running Backs. He plays with obvious aggression on defense. He is projected as an Rb/slot at the next level. He earned All-Conference honors as a running back for his season performance.
Shane Walker
JERSEY #: 11, POSITION(S): WR, CB, HEIGHT: 6’0″, WEIGHT: 170lbs, CLASS OF: 2025
2023 Highlight Film Eval: Flashes the skills to be able to catch a jump ball as easy as a mesh, slant or hitch. Has good balance and body control.
He has an instant release off the LOS with low pad level, a burst into the route, one-step cuts, outstanding catching ability, and the ability to separate himself from defenders with his speed. His film lacks any clips to evaluate his blocking ability. What I like the most in his film is his ability to track the ball downfield. Catch radius. Ability to high-point the ball. Ability to win the contested 50-50 balls. Athleticism to adjust to the ball in the air.
His physical measurables (Height & Weight) align with Low Div-1 FCS/High D2/High NAIA Wide Receivers. He was ranked as our # 20 Wide receiver in the class of 2025 before the 2023 season. He earned All-Conference honors as a wide receiver for his season performance.

2023 Highlight Film Eval: His 2023 season film is loaded with defensive line play only and rightfully so as he is a projected defensive lineman at the college level. The majority of his clips have him being a disruptive edge defender. He shows the strength and leverages to control the line-of-scrimmage as a run defender. He wins with either speed and quickness or he can use his power as an edge rusher. He can bend and strikes through ball carries when tackling. I see him being aligned inside at the college level where he can dominate with his obvious burst and ability to shed blocks quickly.
His physical measurables (Height & Weight) align with Low Div-1 FCS/High D2/High NAIA Defensive Linemen. He is a new prospect name that has come to our attention from earning 2023 All-Conference Team honors. He will be included in our new updated rankings release.

CT| Rockville Rams 25’| DL/OL #67 | 6’3 | 235 lbs | 3.5 GPA | 280 bench, 505 squat| 1x all conference | 1x all state
2023 Highlight Film Eval: He is strong at the point of attack. Makes very good use of his hand placement on blockers while using good arm extension to shed blockers and read the play. Has a very good low burst out of stance. A violent tackler who can bear hug with a wrap/roll technique to make secure tackles. He flashes the ability to win battles with speed and quickness. Flashes ability to overpower or out-quick HS offensive linemen. Flashes quick-twitch get-off skills. Has the ability to penetrate gaps.
His physical measurables (Height & Weight) align with Div-1 FBS Group of 5 and/or High FCS Defensive Linemen. He is a new prospect name that has come to our attention from earning 2023 All-Conference Team honors. He will be included in our new updated rankings release.
