All State Team Honorable Mentions: MMHSAA

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The last couple of weeks, I have covered the top players in Western New York that made the All State team. Today, I complete the New York Football All State team with those that made honorable mention in the Monsignor Martin League; athletes that made an impact for their school but for one reason or another did not get the same recognition from New York State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["727561"],"_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":"After playing sparingly as Junior in 2022, the starting QB spot opened in Zimmerman's Senior season. That's when Vincent led the league in passing with 1,561 yards in a run dominated offense. Not one to gain rushing yards, [player_tooltip player_id='727561' first='Vincent' last='Zimmerman'] is a pure pocket passer but can move if the pressure calls for it. He is great at keeping his eyes downfield no matter what the defense brings. His timing with his receivers is impeccable and he has a quick release. After an excellent senior year, Zimmerman committed to play at the University of Mount Union in Ohio.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["518166"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":1180894,"_player_evaluations_1_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Listed as a Wide Receiver, [player_tooltip player_id='518166' first='Jack' last='Eskridge'] is a playmaker plain and simple. Whether it be through the air (22 receptions 236 yards 4 TDs), on the ground (24 carries 305 yards 4 tds) or in the return game (12 Kick Returns 333 yards and 1 TD), Jack is a threat to score every time he touches the ball; averaging 1 touchdown per 6 touches. Eskridge has quick feet, fantastic hands and breakaway speed. His cutback ability is amazing and his vision mixed with football instincts is second to none. 2023 was [player_tooltip player_id='518166' first='Jack' last='Eskridge']'s first varsity season so major D-I colleges will be put on notice in 2024.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["528713"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":1180901,"_player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"A 3 year varsity starter, [player_tooltip player_id='528713' first='Romeo' last='Valle'] helped St. Francis produce a 1,000 yard rusher in each season; the only team in the Monsignor Martin League to do so. Romeo is an excellent puller and is quick for a player of his size. He plays with a mean streak and attacks with power. Whether he is zone blocking or taking on a defensive tackle head on, Valle excels at manhandling his opponent. [player_tooltip player_id='528713' first='Romeo' last='Valle'] will have an opportunity to take his talent to the next level at Clarion University.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["265335"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"In 2 and a half seasons on varsity, Kynan Ulanga II played sparingly on offense as a wide receiver but excelled on defense mixing in his time as a Cornerback and Safety; racking up 100 tackles, 3 interceptions and 9 pass defensed in his career. At the CB position, he showed what it is to define the term u0022Shutdown Corneru0022, rarely allowing opposing receivers to catch the ball. Making a smooth transition to Safety, he proved to be a violent defender; always attacking the ball carrier with extreme force and playing with passion. It is that passion that is giving Ulanga the opportunity to play at Edinboro University.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65cb7e86e87c3"} /-->
