They can make plenty of their upside grow with this current offseason. A new football program effective in the summer of 2021, these young men all in all from what I grasped are newer to the game of football than other programs in Winnipeg, which intrigues me with their football ceiling and where it can go.
Aaron Whitaker
Aaron Whitaker
Aaron is not the biggest kid on the field, but there is a clear-cut reason why he was All-Special Teams as a junior, as this kid plays with a heavy chip on his shoulder with all his physicality off the ball he shows off. I love the energy this young man plays with at outside linebacker too, as you can tell he plays the game of football with quick instincts that has reactive shed off agility with his hands. At 5’10 165 pounds, I like him as a hybrid LB/DB at the next level.
Logan Bourrie
Logan Bourrie
It is hard to gauge positionally where you put Logan at the next-level, but I like the elusive athleticism this young man shows out of the pocket and he has intriguing field instincts. He needs to add a significant frame in the weight room starting this offseason, as a prospect that shows off a balanced touch on intermediate routes that have some development. With his change of direction he shows, he looks like a free safety fit in my eyes.
Devon Neziol
Devon Neziol
Devon is an offensive center out of John Taylor Collegiate that at 6’1 220 pound and is another prospect with plenty of upside to grow. He shows off a low center of gravity to accomplish some good reps with his pad-level I saw on tape. I would say on tape, he excels most in pass-protection due to the consistency in his hands. He needs to develop more strength to create more leverage at the point of attack. Our evaluation notes that Neziol’s tape is raw and needs more clear cuts of his best plays first and a highlight tape would help rise his upside around Winnipeg for the next-level amongst offensive linemen.
Hunter Pedersen
Hunter Pedersen
Hunter is a lanky tight end prospect that at 6’2, has plenty of frame to grow into the coming years in the weight room that a strength and conditioning coach would have fun developing more strength with. Hunter plays on both sides of the ball, but impresses me most at the tight end position for his pass-protection with his great pad-level he shows off. He also shows off a pass-catcher that has some promising upside as well as far as his catch radius goes. I would like to see Hunter grow his vision this offseason as a pass-catcher as the tape shows he could develop the instincts to advance more yards after the catch. Another 2025 prospect that can grow his upside with a solid offseason.
Bryan Dupont
Bryan Dupont
Probably one of my favorite Pipers from our 2025 prospects from John Taylor is 6’6 195 pound EDGE rusher Bryan Dupont. Bryan comes off the edge with his first step like a man amongst boys, as I was highly impressed with his speed coming off into the backfield off the edge on tape, as a prospect that is light currently on the tape and made me want more and more to see. With the 30 seconds of tape I have, Bryan also shows plenty of athleticism with the range he can cover which kicks out to the edges on tape. I think if Bryan can work this offseason on his speed rip and speed chop in 2024, I am going to be really intrigued even more with this 2025 defensive end.
