Has a FB/LB build, with some momentum he can be an impact blocker at the 1st and 2nd levels. Awesome hand placement, kid is being coached well, receiving said coaching, and applying it on the field. Can lock out and steer matched against LBs bigger than him. Has some quality EDGE-setting reps on tape. Can be deployed to the flats to serve as a pass-catcher if need be. Likely to maintain an OLB role on defense, on the smaller side as a freshman but kid packs a punch, interested in seeing if he serves as a WILL or SAM. A piece to a winning puzzle, good football player.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65e809f96ca8c"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/juttyjut01/status/1728611633927278683","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/juttyjut01/status/1728611633927278683 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1091213"],"_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":"I wrote up McClair's tape back in December, won't do so again. Intriguing prospect who debuts inside the Top 100. Going to be tough to maintain this grade, the top 100 is usually reserved for FBS/FCS prospects.

A whopping 26-minute tape full of production fully encompasses the athlete behind center at Columbia. Freshman tape is sadly in chronological order, not best plays first, so it's tough to fully convey his complete skillset unless you watch his entire 26-minute tape. The young man unlocks the ability to attack a defense vertically. First game has him launching deep balls for scores with minimal hitch. Mechanics look clean when pressure is contained. Kicks XPs after TDs. Operates in a spread offense, is often asked to move his platform to throw, or tuck and run outside the tackles. Is willing to throw into coverage, there's confidence but the young man should tone down some of his tosses into triple coverage. Good athlete, makes him a good improviser when things go awry. High release, lets go of the ball near the top fo his facemask. Heavy producer for just a freshman, likely to stay that way if he stays at Columbia for four years.u003c/emu003eu003c/blockquoteu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65e809f96cae2"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1180688"],"_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":"u003culu003etrn tu003cliu003e6'0, 180u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003e3.5 GPAu003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003etrue freshmanu003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernCan play at the LOS with his hand off the dirt, his freshman tape begins with Curington aligning as the rotating OLB who can serve as an athletic EDGE rusher, with three down linemen shifted away. An effective tackler, he's looking to push you back and can do so without too much momentum. You're going to feel this kid if he can set his sights on you. Relies on agility, hand fighting and shedding skills right now, again, a LB-sized prospect who is nasty enough to produce at the LOS. Is a blur to the football with no traffic in front of him, looks like a back hitting the hole when he's sniffing out a TFL behind the LOS. A hunter on defense that can provide real RB reps if need be. Excited to see how his body fills out, will he put on good weight and lean towards becoming an elite backer, or stay lean and provide two-way skills for Penn Hills. I'd recommend restructuring his Hudl if any coach is reading this, there are some reps later in tape that should be moved earlier into the film.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65e809f96cb28"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1180686"],"_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":"u003culu003ern tu003cliu003e6'0, 190u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003e4.0 GPAu003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernGreat production, the second OJR prospect inside our 2027 Top100. 1,200+ yards after his first campaign. Hell of a playmaker, first rep on tape has Graham receiving the handoff in the backfield, making a would-be tackler miss in the open field, and running in for a score. Next, you can find Graham running a post aligned inside the numbers pre-snap. Graham's blend of skills make him the ideal candidate in the screen game. Twitchy, good vision, combo this with good hands, tossing Graham a few bubble screens is a must each game. Legitimate WR though, can produce running slants and hitches inside of 15 yards. Has a beauty of a rep running a nine downfield, said rep shows his acceleration to the football, ball tracking skills, as well as his ability to maintain speed while tracking. Excited to see how he projects to the next level in terms of position. In terms of immediate future, I don't see OJR changing their Graham plan anytime soon, get him as involved as possible. Top 100 player.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65e809f96cb6a"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/MekhiGraham7/status/1746995917092159494","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/MekhiGraham7/status/1746995917092159494 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1083270"],"_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":"u003culu003ern tu003cliu003e6'1, 175u003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernVarsity reps on tape, at Kennett HS. Works out of ten personnel almost exclusively, spread offense. Lefty passer, one who can complete passes in sprint-out sets moving both left or right. Offense calls for pre-snap motions often, McCracken, a freshman, can handle it all. Accurate and anticipatory throws witnessed on tape. Nothing too flashy out of McCracken, and I mean that in the best of ways. Everything in terms of release, footwork, accuracy, route variation, size is solid. Would love to see more production down the line but this can be said about pretty much every freshman quarterback I look into. Love the timing and ball placement when attacking corner routes. Has a handful of throws inside the ten yard line, good accuracy. Looks comfortable in the pocket for the most part, had to remind myself of his age. Intrigued by his build and whether or not he's a real 6'1, growing into a 6'2/6'3 build would do wonders for his stock.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65e809f96cbb4"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["914806"],"_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":"u003culu003ern tu003cliu003e5'9, 160u003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernHad the pleasure of witnessing [player_tooltip player_id='914806' first='Jordan' last='Reid']'s first rep on tape in person, a kick return again USO that highlights the young man's playmaking capabilities. Westinghouse freshman who was able to make a real impact on a team loaded with studs on both sides of the ball, that means something to me. Tape is certainly limited, a lot of short screens, blocking reps on tape for sure, yet I can tell from his kick/punt return reps that Reid will likely hold as a top 20 two-way player for the foreseeable future. I take 7v7 reps with a grain of salt, yet i can be fed off of Reid's DB reps in shorts. Reid's freshman tape doesn't show off his coverage skills, I'm expecting to see him work in the secondary next Fall, this expectation factored into my decision to place him inside the top 100. More of a projection here, excited to see how he might be utilized moving forward.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65e809f96cbf9"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1091317"],"_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":"u003culu003etrn tu003cliu003e6'2, 230u003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernLean, carries a linebacker build, unsure if he plays the OL position because of necessity. Knowing some of the studs at William Penn Charter, I doubt he's playing guard out of necessity. Freshman tape, great base to work off of. Can double as a ROG/LOG. 230 pounds, light for a guard but the kid gets the job done on tape. Varsity reps from what I can tell, which is impressive in it's own right. Intrigued if he will continue developing at OL, he's obviously going to have to put on more weight, but a lot of technical plusses can be seen on tape. Easier to gain weight than teach technique in my opinion. Limited tape, not too lengthy. Starts and finishes reps, plays to the whistle, Needham sprinkles in some serious pancakes far from his pre-snap position. I'm sure the PC coaching staff has a load of work placed in front of Needham, but he's done enough to get on my radar.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65e809f96cc7c"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["453140"],"_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":"u003culu003etrn tu003cliu003ecan't find much in terms of measurablesu003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003ebasketball playeru003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernReading DB, listed as 5'7, 155, not bad size for a corner. Didn't know his size before watching the tape, the reps witnessed didn't have me worried about size afterward. Majority of tape has Camara aligned at OCB, aligned pre-snap at the LOS. Press, looks comfortable working in the face of his matchup and close to the LOS. Has a ways to go in terms of jam technique, same goes for his bump-and-run tech. Camara's a good athlete and makes up for any tech deficiencies elsewhere, can't be too hard on the kid, as he's just a freshman. Opens his hips early in press, almost trails on purpose. Camara can run with the majority of his matchups, kid can get up too, has a long radius above his head. Plays the football well, good amount of PBUs on tape. He's handsy through the catch point, annoying, and grabby with the ball in the air. Tough player, it shows in run support. A tough corner to block, he sheds consistently and has zero problem stepping up to stop sweeps/jets/zone runs headed his way. Witnessed setting the edge from his corner spot, doesn't hesitate. Ton of potential as a DB, can he provide future WR/return reps? Would do wonders for his stock. Could be a special pass cover guy down the line if he develops a real backpedal.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65e809f96ccbe"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["502204"],"_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":"u003culu003ern tu003cliu003e5'11, 160u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eMcKeesportu003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernUnsure what on tape is varsity reps, what is JV reps, I think there's a good mix of each. First glance in person, second glance on tape, Robinson's build screams DB. Thin frame, ideally between 5'9-5'11. His tape backs that notion up of course, he is stationed often at slot corner, he flashes ability to cover Curl zones behind him, he can cover wideouts and backs alike. When McKeesport deploys single-high sets you can often find Robinson in the box or covering the slot, dependent on the offensive formation. Intriguing part is when he's aligned at linebacker pre-snap. Robinson doesn't carry a traditional backer build, yet the kid makes a good amount of solo stops inside the front seven. Brings his weight, not much weight, but he can carry his own. Has some wideout reps on tape which makes sense, involved in the screen/pop/bubble game. Substantial special teams reps witnessed. On hit squad, might serve as a gunner. Can he return kicks or play back, answering this would bode well for his future stock. Tape is too long, needs to condense to best plays.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65e809f96ccff"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/GatorsGarfield/status/1757603643677651127","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/GatorsGarfield/status/1757603643677651127 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["916097"],"_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":"u003culu003ern tu003cliu003e6'2, 165u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003egood lifteru003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003e4.0 GPAu003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernGood production for a freshman. Assuming this is all Varsity tape, considering Patton is hardly ever pressured on tape, ton of clean pocket reps, this won't be held against him, of course. Operates an offense that likes to spread the ball around, not always in a five wide of course but many reps on tape have Patton working out of ten personnel. Comfortable, poised, and tall in the pocket. Mechs look solid for a freshman, no obvious or dramatic flaws. Like how he keeps his off-hand close to his chest, follows through into the sheath well. His tape as a whole is an excellent starting point, talking about a freshman quarterback here. Has some wow throws on tape. Can deliver strikes to numerous routes, hitches, outs, posts, corners. Let's go of the football before his target breaks, hits a post and corner on tape that wowed me, all because he was able to deliver a ball on time, in stride with wideouts hardly coming off their original path. Clear understanding of ball placement and where the football is supposed to be downfield. Not an arm to die for, again he's a freshman so this is a nitpick, he can still send the ball 35 yards downfield, I see it flutter at times. Plays JV basketball, could be a linebacker prospect elsewhere. Brockway doesn't move Patton to the throw the football, yet Patton has no problem attempting to create with his legs. Not a statue, certainly not a gazelle but that's okay. He isn't being recruiting to be a track star. Patton's a tough kid who has no problem putting his head down when getting hit in the open field. Excited to see how he continues to develop, excited to see how his body fills out as well, will he get taller, will he fill out his pads any further?","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65f08d9ebd7fb"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/AidenQB10/status/1754592395205673238","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/AidenQB10/status/1754592395205673238 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
