Every position saw an influx of talent that shook things up. To highlight the top of every position group today we are going to breakdown the tape of the top athlete added at each of the nine positions that we have here at PRZ WI.

Cambridge's [player_tooltip player_id='1209371' first='Matt' last='Buckman'] is a basketball-football dual sport standout. Among his accolades are Conference Player of the Year honors in both sports. On the gridiron the 6'4u0022 180 lbs signal caller put himself on the map with his 2,200+ passing yards, 24 passing TDs and 4 rushing TDs. The tape shows a big framed QB with quick feet who can quick set and get the ball out fast. Matt doesn't need to have his feet set to  deliver the ball accurately, but when he does set and throw he has excellent control over his ball placement. The junior is able to attack 30-40 yards downfield consistently, and has the threat to hurt a defense with his legs if the play breaks down. Buckman is a raw passer, but he has tools to build on. He should have options in football and basketball.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65f8d185de2a8"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19311242/654864b219b0390d942d9538' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65f8d185de37c"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1180699"],"_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":"Coming in at RB3 in the new rankings is the leading rusher from 2023. Christian powered his way on the ground as he helped GB Notre Dame make Level 4 of the playoffs. The 5'10u0022 200 lbs RB is built to pick up the tough yards, but does way more than that. He has the instincts for the position, and his patience to let blocks set up allows him to get to the second level with a head of steam. The junior also makes so many plays because of his low center of gravity and ability to run through tackle attempts. The playmaker can come out of those physical moments and hit a second gear that allows him to pull away in the open field. Collins is a well rounded, highly productive back to know.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65f8d185de3da"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18095668/6531d26e3448d811984199ee' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65f8d185de3f9"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1209295"],"_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 best WR that we added to the rankings was the big man out of Homestead HS. Checking in at 6'5u0022 205 lbs, Jonah provides the size mismatch and catch radius that QBs love out wide and in the redzone. Jonah uses his size to his advantage very well. We see him high point the ball with strong hands. He understands how to position himself so he can box out DBs. The junior knows how to create separation with his size. Jonah also tracks the ball and can adjust his route to be able to get to the ball. A big year is on the way for the WR.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65f8d185de448"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16529376/653fb83fda5c260cc4010b32' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65f8d185de465"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1209382"],"_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":"One of my favorite players from this update is Racine Case's [player_tooltip player_id='1209382' first='Jacob' last='Haughton']. The junior TE is a bit undersized for the position, but the athleticism and physicality he can bring to the position jumps off the tape. You can line the junior up out wide or inline and he is able to get a quick release off the line either way. In the run game we see him deliver massive pancake blocks on DBs and LBs out in space. He has excellent range to get across the formation and up to the second level. In the passing game Jacob catches your eyes with exceptional hands that make circus catches look easy. He has excellent hand-eye coordination and can adjust to the flight of the ball with ease. After the catch Jacob shows that he can win with speed, elusive agility, or powerful running. He is listed at 6'2u0022 215 lbs, but there is no doubt he has next level talent. Do not sleep on this one.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65f8d185de4b8"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16497468/64fe81e4e97bbd0608fb4b54' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65f8d185de4d5"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1209296"],"_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":"Thomas is looking like a raw, but potentially high-ceiling prospect. He has the elite size you look for at 6'7u0022 and carries his 290 lbs very well. Despite the size we see him get to the second level quickly and under control. He can drop his hips and pad level overall to win with leverage in the trenches. His massive frame has the power to dig DL out of gaps in the run game. The power, size, length, and range are there in the Lakeside Lutheran OT. With time in a college weight room and next level coaching on his technique we could have an impact player here.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65f8d185de522"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16451519/65f3d6fe0428e608803364ce' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65f8d185de53e"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1051941"],"_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":"It was great to get the Muskego DL recruit in the rankings to see where he stacked up with his peers. I have become a big fan of his talent and potential over recent months, so it was no surprise to see him come in as a Top 5 DL prospect. He checks the box for length and size. He carries the 245 lbs on his 6'4u0022 frame so easily with room to add more. Against the run Liam shows the ability to be a future three down DE with his surprising power to stand up OTs/TEs, hold the line, disengage, and make the tackle near the line. As a pass rusher we see the length show up as he plays with his hands, then either uses a pass rush move or lateral agility to quickly beat the block on his way to the QB.

Maybe even more than he rushes. It is impressive to see from the 6'3u0022 215 lbs junior LB. Cole shows the range needed to play in a zone. He is quick to read and react to players entering his zone. The burst is there to close on receivers in the open field, and you can count on him to make the one on one tackle in space. Cole is a fluid athlete who can slide and drop with ease. He also brings unfair power against WRs when opponents try to run screen game in front of him. The awareness and play recognition stand out throughout his tape. I except to see him continue to climb the rankings and further up the Top 10 of his position.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65f8d185de5fc"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16264204/657cde7bd225750878a8ec55' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65f8d185de617"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1069250"],"_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":"Right off the bat, Casey separates himself at the position with his elite length for a CB. He checks in at 6'3u0022 180 lbs. It is one thing to have the size, but being able to move with it comfortably in space is another thing. Casey brings that to the field also. He can get depth quickly with his backpedal, his hips and feet are able to quickly flip and he can accelerate out of those changes of direction with just a couple steps. The junior also has a knack for being where the ball is and the hands to create turnovers off those opportunities. In zone the junior is able to read the QB and see the play develop allowing him to get in position to make plays. I'm excited to see how he performs this summer at camps.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65f8d185de666"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16282351/6538709566560e1588bf0e0e' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65f8d185de682"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1180568"],"_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":"Lake Mills must have something in the water to keep producing these monster OLB/WR athletes.

We project Max as a OLB at this time, but it is well worth noting that the big man is such a talented and natural athlete that he has been able to become a 1st Team All Conference WR. At OLB we see Max win with speed and power. His length gives him a huge advantage as well. We see him make first contact as he swipes hands away and either bursts into the backfield or makes a lateral move before closing. The building blocks are there for an even more impactful 2024 season.
