NSD24 Recap: Glenville State Signees

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2024 edition of National Signing Day has come and gone although many more athletes will continue to sign during the signing period. Glenville State by far had the most in-state signees with a total of 21 up to this point. Here are the WV prospects who have signed with the Pioneers thus far. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Players Ranked: </strong>20/21<strong> | Top 100 Players:</strong> 6</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["370356"],"_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":"The gem of the Glenville State class was North Marion QB/LB [player_tooltip player_id='370356' first='Casey' last='Minor'].

Minor totaled 111.5 tackles this season while being limited in a few games due to injury. Minor really jumped up our rankings after a very good senior season which saw him and his Huskies team play for a state championship which became quite possibly the best championship game in the state's history. Minor showed tremendous improvement from his junior season and saw his stock really rise this year. He's also QB1 for North Marion but will almost assuredly play linebacker at the next level. If he were just a bit bigger he'd be even higher in our rankings and Minor has great natural instincts for the position.rnrnu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65c592b7a08d2"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/GlenvilleStFB/status/1755319681290731801?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/GlenvilleStFB/status/1755319681290731801?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["145663"],"_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":"Glenville State has signed two in-state quarterbacks in their 2024 recruiting class with the higher-ranked one being East Fairmont's [player_tooltip player_id='145663' first='Ian' last='Crookshanks'].

Crookshanks is a physically built quarterback at 6'1 200 who is more of a bulldozing runner than a fast one. He has a big arm that can toss bombs and throw with zip on short and intermediate throws. High academic student posting a 4.28 GPA and will sign with a D2 school come February. A tough and physical quarterback with arm talent to match it. Throws a pretty deep ball that can stretch defenses vertically. Calm in the pocket and doesn't panic but as mentioned is athletic enough to take off and run along with being capable of executing designed QB runs. Crookshanks can also throw with touch and lay passes in softly showing he's not just a fastball pitcher so to speak.rnrnu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65c592b7a096a"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/GlenvilleStFB/status/1755284714338853061?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/GlenvilleStFB/status/1755284714338853061?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["950989"],"_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":"The second North Marion Huskie to sign with the Pioneers was their anchor of the offensive line this season in guard [player_tooltip player_id='950989' first='Nathan' last='Miller'].

That's saying something given how many quality quarterbacks have come through the Morgantown program and Bowers is near the top of those names. They let him throw it around a bit more this season after he recovered from a shoulder injury that he played through last season. Another high academic student with a 4.125 GPA who is currently committed to D2 Glenville State. Bowers is definitely your traditional pocket passer who won't take off very often and is more comfortable in the pocket. However, he still has the ability to move around in the pocket and evade pressure to make an accurate throw and roll out and throw on the run. Decent sized athlete at 6'0 190 and is built pretty well for a high school quarterback. Bowers also has quality arm strength and can throw across his body or push the ball downfield. I could see him being a very productive player in college after a year or two of development at the next level.rnrnu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65c592b7a0a82"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/GlenvilleStFB/status/1755275433568821641?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/GlenvilleStFB/status/1755275433568821641?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["891258"],"_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":"Wheeling Park's [player_tooltip player_id='891258' first='Derek' last='Croghan'] played offensive line this season for the first time in a while and it paid off for the 6'5 big man.

You obviously can't teach size and he has plenty of it and does a nice job taking up space and blockers to free up his linebackers.

He should be a player on special teams for the Pioneers before long and could be a steal in their 2024 class.rnrnBelow was our evaluation of Green this season.rnrnWritten by u003ca class=u0022font-medium text-primaryu0022 href=u0022https://prepredzone.com/author/dylancallaghancroley/u0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 rel=u0022noopeneru0022u003eDyaln Callaghan-Croley u003c/au003ein u003ca class=u0022text-primary font-mediumu0022 href=u0022https://prepredzone.com/2023/12/west-virginia-2024-rankings-update-top-10-defensive-backs/u0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 rel=u0022noopeneru0022u003e2024 Rankings Update: Top 10 DBsu003c/au003ernu003cdiv class=u0022text-sm italic leading-6 text-gray-700 px-4 py-3 rounded bg-gray-100 border-t-4 border-gray-200 mb-2 relative max-h-72 overflow-scrollu0022u003ernu003cdivu003ernu003cdiv class=u0022prose-sm text-sm text-gray-600 leading-6u0022u003ernrnQuality size at 5-foot-10 and 180-pounds with good athleticism which allowed him to play in the slot, as a running back, as well as a kick returner. Dynamic playmaker with the ball in his hands and makes plays on a consistent basis. I personaly like him more as a safety prospect, allowing him to roam in the middle of the field and taking advantage of his athleticism. Plays well down hill against the run and offers great support against the pass as well with very good awareness and ball tracking skills. Productive player at the end of the day who I believe has a good chance to outplay his ranking at the next level.rnrnu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003ernu003c/divu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65c592b7a0c4d"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/GlenvilleStFB/status/1755218709168189482?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/GlenvilleStFB/status/1755218709168189482?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["892318"],"_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":"Just behind Green as the #3 signee for the Pioneers on signing day was Nitro linebacker [player_tooltip player_id='892318' first='Xiomar' last='Henry'].

Henry flies around and is very quick and fast for a linebacker which is why he's a leading tackler in the state. At 6'1 200 he still has plenty of room to keep filling out and getting bigger and stronger which would help his game even more. They'll even line up as a defacto defensive tackle at times and just cut him loose at the snap.

Bachinski is also an intelligent player who puts himself in the right position to make plays often. He reads plays well and has good instincts and I would wager that he spends a lot of time watching film as well. Bachinski likely best translates as a strong safety at the next level but I believe he can play that hybrid safety/linebacker role too with his size.

Phipps is another nice-sized long snapping prospect at 6'3 225 whose ranking was hurt by not having any 2023 season highlights. From watching his junior highlights, Phipps was typically snapping from between 10-13 yards on punts and could be more consistent on snap speed and location. There were a couple of highlights of him covering punts and it seems like he has the athleticism needed to do so. It's possible he made a big jump from his junior to senior year but it's hard to say with no highlights.
