Blacker nabbed 3 interceptions last year to go along with 10 pass break ups, not too bad. Standing at 5'11 and 180 lbs. he is a crafty corner who rarely gets fooled looking into the backfield. A 3.5 GPA will only benefit him more as his quest to play in college continues, judging by what he has done so far I think it is a safe bet will see him playing on Saturdays soon.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://[player_tooltip player_id='1230210' first='James' last='Blacker'] HUDLu0022u003e[player_tooltip player_id='1230210' first='James' last='Blacker'] HUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["801105"],"_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":"The Binkowski family is blessed with talent across the board and Cameron is the next one.

That is not a misprint [player_tooltip player_id='801105' first='Cameron' last='Binkowski'] had 22 sacks as a junior that is insane. A mixture of both strength and speed at defensive end for the Bobcats, the rising senior cannot be blocked 1 on 1. If you are an offensive line coach he is the type of player you need accounted for before every snap otherwise he will take over the game. Like his brother Brandon, Cam will be an FBS level prospect and the interest/offers are growing by the minute.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://Cam Binkowski HUDLu0022u003eCam Binkowski HUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"Cole Wodson","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_weight":"190","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"2495","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Battlefield","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Like his teammate [player_tooltip player_id='1228353' first='Cole' last='Woodson'] will be playing at the FBS level come 205, as he is a rangy corner with great ball skills. Returning three interceptions for scores in his junior campaign, the dude has a nose for the endzone each time he has the football. He has exceptional hands and good size at 6'1 making it very hard for receivers to even get off the line of scrimmage against him. Demonstrated below on his tape, the young man has the skill set to play either safety or corner in college, I would not be surprised if he did both to be honest. The young man is a legit division 1 prospect, with 5 FBS offers already, if do not know about him, you're about too.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://x.com/ColeWoodson2/status/1729633036151492885?s=20u0022u003e[player_tooltip player_id='1228353' first='Cole' last='Woodson'] HUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65de37eead8ac"} /-->
