Continue ReadingJasper Shepp’s film is some of the best plays I have seen all year. The 1st play was a deep pass where he out-jumped a defender for a touchdown in the end zone. The 2nd play was a fake punt where he sprinted 90 yards for a touchdown. Shepps is a big play every time he touches the ball. He had another fake punt he took for a touchdown as well. Shepps isn’t the fastest guy, but he is tall and does a great job making contested catches. He is like a basketball player going up for an alley-up and high-pointing the ball every time. Shepps is a talented player to check out going forward.
Highlights
Chase Tomain
Chase Tomain
Chase Tomain is an athlete who played both as a slot receiver and as a defensive back. His film is some Junior Varsity clips mixed with Varsity clips. At slot receiver, he is a dynamic player that can be used in the run game on jet sweeps. He does a good job hitting the hole and then making people miss. He also catches the ball well. At defensive back, he shows good coverage skills. Tomain should only improve going into his Sophomore year.
Kris Burgos
Kris Burgos
Kris Burgos played wing-back in Solanco’s option offense last year. He was both a dynamic runner and a receiver for Solanco. In the run game, he was really good on toss sweeps where he can use his speed to hit the edge and run by defenders. When Solanco threw the ball Burgos was their best receiver. He did a good job on contested catches and catching the ball in traffic. Burgos had a strong Sophomore year and I expect he will be an even contributor for Solanco next year.
Anthony Aquila Anthony Aquila 5’10” | 175 lbs | ATH Bishop Shanahan | 2026 State PA played safety and receiver for Bishop Shanahan last year but could move to quarterback this year. He showed good athleticism and was good as a free safety and as a receiver for Bishop Shanahan last year. At free safety, he showed the ability to come upfield and make tackles in the open field. Aquila also showed good coverage skills as well. At wide receiver, Aquila showed good skills in catching the ball and running routes. Aquila also was a kick returner for Bishop Shanahan and had several long returns. Aquila is a good athlete who could move to quarterback next year.
Highlights
TJ Lawrence TJ Lawrence 5’11” | 200 lbs | LB Parkland | 2027 State PA had a strong Freshman year for Parkland. He was good at running back and linebacker. As running back he showed good patience as a runner and then was a physical runner. He also showed good speed and if he got into the open field he was gone to the end zone. Lawrence also showed the ability to catch out of the backfield. At linebacker, he flashed good skills. He did a nice job of reading and reacting to the play and then coming downhill to make tackles. He was also a good tackler in the open field. Lawrence is a talented player who should continue to grow as a player next year.
