Racking up 88 tackles with 11 tackles for losses as a sophomore, Sanderson is ready for his close up. Love the way he plays the game with passion and energy on every snap, this is the type of player you build your defense around. Playing at a high level already for Paul VI, Sanderson is 6'2 210 lbs., he is another high riser for our 2026 class. A pitbull off the field too he has a 3.8 GPA and just recently joined 1300 lb. club  both impressive feats. Whatever you need in a linebacker this dude has, expect him to lead the WCAC in tackles this fall.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/video/3/17757120/651d8e8690ef01071c7f129eu0022u003eMiles Sanderson HUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1297914' first='Harry' last='Maltese']","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_weight":"215","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Fairfax","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1297914' first='Harry' last='Maltese'] is going to be one of the best linebackers in the Patriot District, love the way he sheds blockers to make plays. Very fast on the outside for the Lions this physical specimen will take on any blocker regardless of their size. Maltese is all over the field defensively and figures to have a bigger role at running back for Fairfax as a junior with the graduation of UGA commit [player_tooltip player_id='293566' first='Kristopher' last='Jones']. A straight north/south back he could very well lead the league in touchdowns depending how much he is used on that side of the ball.  With his size, speed and mobility I really like his chances at the next level, remember his name he is one to lookout for this fall.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17396432/655d230eab9d780988149bfcu0022u003e[player_tooltip player_id='1297914' first='Harry' last='Maltese'] HUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1297910' first='Mikhai' last='Martin']","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_weight":"195","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Bishop O'Connell","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"A very patient, quick running back is what I see in the tape of Bishop O'Connell's [player_tooltip player_id='1297910' first='Mikhai' last='Martin']. Earning second team All-WCAC honors a year ago, Martin is set to potentially lead the league in rushing this fall. He is exceptional in the open field in making defenders miss and his vision is impressive too.  For the Knights to get back over .500 they would be wise to rely on Martin more, his patience deserves to be awarded. While on tape his speed not pop out to you, the way he can make any defender look foolish in the open field and his nose for the endzone are more than enough.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18444665/65e96207a681030f18cbbfe5u0022u003e[player_tooltip player_id='1297910' first='Mikhai' last='Martin'] HUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["853769"],"_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":"Bishop Ireton's [player_tooltip player_id='853769' first='Cameron' last='Prosper'] takes over games at both defensive end and free safety the young man has no limits for the Cardinals. Unanimously selected first team all WCAC last fall Prosper ascension to the top of our rankings is just beginning. Prosper is 6'6 and 185 lbs. I can see why he keeps his weight down as he plays multiple positions for the Cardinals defense including linebacker. He has great range and ball skills which is why you see him out in coverage a ton, he can run with anybody. At the next level he will most likely project as a defensive end, which is a scary thought, imagine how difficult he will be to block with his speed and length?rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17918010/655ed87bc11b9001d03f9223u0022u003e[player_tooltip player_id='853769' first='Cameron' last='Prosper'] 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":"Frankie D'Amico","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_weight":"255","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Freedom South-Riding","_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":"Freedom South-Riding has some nice pieces returning including junior to be center Frankie D'Amico. Starting later in the season D'Amico has the size, frame and movement to really make an impact for the Eagles. His steps and blitz recognition are very good, despite the minimal experience he looks like he belongs in one of the tougher districts in Virginia. One of the more athletic centers I have seen on tape, the young man  has good speed and can get to the next level on his blocks. D'Amico is a an accomplished long snapper and can play nose guard for Freedom this year.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16518468/65085a96176ce30fc4ab72dcu0022u003eFrankie D'Amico HUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65fafa8be18c8"} /-->
