Fisher's physical stature immediately catches the eye, embodying the prototypical quarterback archetype with his imposing frame. Notably, Fisher excels in pocket management, showcasing adept footwork to deftly maneuver away from oncoming pressure while maintaining a composed presence in the pocket. His disciplined approach is evident as he keeps his focus downfield, unfazed by the chaos surrounding him. Furthermore, Fisher demonstrates a willingness to challenge opposing defenses with his aggressive passing style, fearlessly threading the needle to exploit tight windows. Despite his imposing build, there's room for Fisher to add more bulk, enhancing his durability and physicality on the field. While he exhibits mobility and improvisational skills, refining his arm strength remains an area of focus. Nevertheless, Fisher's assertive demeanor and commitment to improvement position him as a prospect primed for collegiate attention, with the potential to garner interest from Division I and Division II programs as he continues to refine his game and make strides in his senior year.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65ef71ce904a6"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/merritt_fisher7/status/1722060631312916961","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/merritt_fisher7/status/1722060631312916961 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Shawn Corchado ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"190","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Hun School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eShawn  Corchado, standing at 6 feet 1 inch and weighing around 180 pounds, primarily shines as a wide receiver, often deployed in the slot position. Notably, Corchado impresses with his knack for securing catches in traffic, showcasing remarkable consistency in hauling in challenging receptions. Possessing a tall and lengthy frame, he boasts an impressive stride that allows him to make impactful plays down the field. However, as he transitions from the Peddie School to the Hun School, there's a notable area for improvement in his short-area quickness. While his stature may present challenges in maneuvering through confined spaces, particularly in the slot role, enhancing his agility will be crucial for his effectiveness in generating short-yardage gains and swiftly evading defenders. Nonetheless, Corchado demonstrates promise as a red zone threat, leveraging his size advantage to outmuscle opposing corners for crucial touchdowns. To maximize his potential, refining his footwork and hip mobility will be imperative, especially as he seeks to broaden his skill set and establish himself as a reliable slot receiver capable of making significant contributions on the field.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65ef71ce905a3"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16385556/638e7be7f561000980710de6' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65ef71ce906b3"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1022242"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eJustin Cook, a linebacker hailing from Seton Hall Prep, commands attention with his imposing presence on the field. Despite standing at 6 feet tall and weighing 200 pounds, Cook exhibits a physicality and dominance that belies his stature. Notably, his adeptness at leveraging his size allows him to excel in attacking downhill, consistently overcoming blocks to deliver impactful tackles. His unwavering commitment to sacrificing his body for the greater defensive cause underscores his value as a stalwart in the heart of the defense. However, amidst his formidable skill set lies an area primed for refinement: his agility in changing direction swiftly. In the evolving landscape of offensive football, versatility and responsiveness are paramount for defenders, particularly linebackers tasked with navigating open space. Thus, I advocate for Cook to dedicate this offseason to honing his ability to maneuver adeptly, especially in scenarios involving screen passes and running back tosses, where maintaining consistent leverage in space is pivotal. With such enhancements, Cook is poised to ascend as one of the premier linebackers across the entirety of New Jersey, further solidifying his status as a defensive force to be reckoned with.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65ef71ce90771"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Justincook33/status/1726735147221856648","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/Justincook33/status/1726735147221856648 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["284075"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eVincent Lopiccolo, an offensive tackle standing tall at 6 feet 3 inches and weighing in at 265 pounds, exudes athleticism from the moment he steps onto the gridiron. His fluid movement and remarkable foot speed set him apart as a standout presence on the offensive line. Particularly noteworthy is his adeptness in executing blocking schemes that require agility and precision, such as power and counter plays. His proficiency in directing runs towards the perimeter or employing zone concepts showcases his ability to maintain low leverage and expertly maneuver his hips to shield and impede defenders. Given his array of talents, I believe Vincent is primed to transition seamlessly into the role of a formidable guard at the collegiate level. With his demonstrated athleticism and aptitude for executing both gap and zone schemes, he possesses all the requisite attributes to excel in interior line positions. It remains to be seen which college programs will recognize and capitalize on his burgeoning potential as he continues to refine his skills and ascend to greater heights in his football journey.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65ef71ce90820"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Vinnylopic/status/1763540623607349560","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/Vinnylopic/status/1763540623607349560 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["801498"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eColin Obser, a versatile athlete standing at 6 feet tall and weighing 205 pounds, epitomizes the “do-it-all” mentality on the gridiron. From lining up as a tight end to seamlessly transitioning to roles as a fullback, running back, outside linebacker, and edge rusher, Opser demonstrates his versatility in a myriad of ways. His impact extends beyond scrimmage, contributing significantly on special teams as well. What sets Obser apart is not just his imposing size, but also his remarkable athleticism and awareness, particularly evident when he operates as a tight end. He displays exceptional ball-tracking ability, making tough catches down the field and showcasing unwavering concentration in critical game situations. Moreover, Obser excels as a blocker, leveraging his physicality and technique to pave the way for his teammates on the ground. Defensively, he disrupts opponents' plans with his adept blitzing off the edge and staunch edge-setting abilities against the run. With Obser's multifaceted skill set and undeniable impact on the field, it's inevitable that college programs will take notice. I anticipate a surge of interest and offers rolling in for Obser following the culmination of the 2024 New Jersey high school football season.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65ef71ce908dc"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Colin_Obser/status/1725651238300037608","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/Colin_Obser/status/1725651238300037608 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
