Continue ReadingMy Twitter DMs continue to come in, and in this article I continue with with my Twitter Film Analysis where I feature players class of ’25 and ’26 prospects who have reached out or followed me, as well as some that I notice getting attention on Twitter. I continue to be impressed with the players I watch and look forward to featuring more in the future.
Tristen has the tools you are looking for in an outside WR. He has very good height and good size which make him a mismatch on the field. He displays very good foot quickness, change of direction, and lateral agility. He releases off the line of scrimmage without taking false steps and utilizes his lateral quickness to evade Press and Soft defenders in conjunction with using his hands to rip past the DB. He quickly accelerates and displays good speed to quickly close the gap with Off coverage defenders. His film shows him manipulating his routes in the Stem phase to set up his very good separation quickness at the top of the route with his very good change of direction and fluid hips for seamless transitions. Shows very good hands and the ability to adjust to balls thrown outside of his frame. His height allows the QB to throw the ball up where he can outjump the DBs and high point the catch. Shows good ability to run after the catch, utilizing his good elusiveness to juke and evade defenders, and he has the speed to outrun most DBs. He also has no issue being physically tough and blocking for his teammates as a lead blocker on screens or downfield after a catch.
Highlights
Speed is the key factor that sticks out in John’s film. Chances are he will be the fastest player on the field in most games he suits up for. He also displays good elusiveness, change of direction, and lateral agility that all play into his running style. He can gain the edge on outside running plays before defenders catch up and is able to quickly make a cut into space allowing his athleticism to take over. When he sees the hole on inside runs, he quickly accelerates through the hole and displays solid contact balance to keep his feet through traffic and arm tackles. Shows good vision and ability to create yards when a play breaks down, and when he finds space, you can expect to see him in the endzone. He can also run routes out of the backfield and is dangerous after the catch. He has already received some Division 1 offers and more will come.
This isn’t the first time Jordan has appeared in one of our articles, as Carl featured him last offseason. Jordan shows good explosion, balance, and strength. He is a good pass blocker with a strong hand punch to jolt the rusher and knock him off balance. Shows good explosion off the ball on Gap blocking with good drive to open the gap for the ball carrier. Shows the ability to get into space and lead block against linebackers. He also plays Defensive Tackle and his point strength allows him to clog the middle, and he shows the ability to shed the block to make a tackle. Hudl / Twitter
Jeremiah plays Linebacker and Running back displaying very good lateral movement and flexibility, good change of direction, speed, and foot quickness. At linebacker, he has very good reaction time to read a play and react to the ball. Shows good field awareness in pass coverage, keeping his head on a swivel with good reaction to the pass to make a break on the ball. He is quick to stuff the run, able to take on blockers with good strength, and able to shed the block with very good tackling on the ball carrier. Shows good range cover from the mid-field to the sideline. At running back, he is a shifty runner, able to make quick, short cuts with his feet to evade defenders. He has good vision to find the hole and accelerate through it with good burst and balance. Shows a willingness to pass block and able to halt the rush of blitzing linebackers and defensive backs.
Caleb has very good play strength, with good explosiveness and balance. He is a good pass protector versus a power rusher utilizing a strong initial punch to stun the rusher with very good grip strength to prevent him from countering after the initial punch with a solid anchor versus a bull rush. Shows good Gap blocking on base, down, and double team blocks, coming off the ball with good explosion and leverage utilizing his strength and leg drive to open up the hole for the ball carrier. Solid pull blocker, stays on his path and can drive an anchored defender out of the gap. Shows good processing of block schemes and understanding of blitz concepts in pass protection. He’s a player to watch heading into his senior season.
