New York Scouting Notes: 2025 Section II Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I started a series with some Canadian prospects just a couple of weeks ago that I wanted to bring to New York with prospects. While we have scouts all over the state, some areas are underrepresented, and I plan to highlight players from those areas with these scouting notes. These articles will highlight some scouting notes I took while watching the tape on these guys. I linked all their HUDL accounts, and I advise you to check out these guys and see what they can do. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We start with five prospects from Section II, which, for those unfamiliar, is the Albany area in New York. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Section VI (Buffalo) Content by <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachKeighron">Michael Keighron</a> - <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/03/class-of-2025-top-wide-receivers-tight-ends-in-wny/">HERE</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Section V (Rochester) Content by <a href="https://twitter.com/didomenicomatt5">Matt Di Domenico</a> - <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/03/section-v-football-player-watch-list/">HERE</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Long Island Content by <a href="https://twitter.com/jared_valluzzi">Jared Valluzzi</a> - <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/02/rising-stars-bowl-preview-team-long-island-qbs-rbs-wrs/">HERE</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["528733"],"_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":"Thompson, who has been a two-year varsity started at center on a talented Shenendehowa offensive line has some impressive tape. Thompson plays with good quickness and pop off the snap, he gets out of his stance quick and shows explosiveness in his initial steps. Thompson may lack the prototypical height at only 6' but he plays with great leverage and a strong base. There are limited pass protection reps but Thompson shows the ability to anchor and move laterally to pick up blitzing. Overall, Thompson shows intriguing traits that showcase the ability to play at a high level in Section II.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eCheck out Thompson's u003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/profile/15814592/Colin-Thompsonu0022u003eHUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1214360"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"DiBacco who was an two-way player and offensive weapon for a Shaker team that ran a high-powered offense this past season. DiBacco shows good burst and change of direction and from the Safety position he reads the game well and has a quick trigger to the ball. DiBacco is a physical tackler and shows consistent tackling form in open space. Offensively, DiBacco is used as a weapon both as a slot back in some of the old school offense that Shaker runs but also can line up in the slot or backfield in shotgun and run routes or run outside zone. DiBacco runs physical just like he tackles and plays all three phases with a high motor.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eCheck out DiBacco's u003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/profile/17653816/Dom-DiBaccou0022u003eHUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["806436"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"DeLisle is a violent tackler who by the looks on tape loves the physical nature of the game. DeLisle is a downhill LB who reads the game quickly and fires to the backfield. DeLisle is a really consistent tackler with good form and showcases closing speed and a high motor that is featured on tape in a couple chase down tackles and downfield blocks on INTs. DeLisle shows good hand placement and the ability to shed blocks but he often defeats blocks with quickness and his patience. DeLisle shows really good instincts and while he may not check every box from his size and athleticism he reads the game and finishes plays with consistency.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eCheck out DeLisle's u003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/profile/15812390/Chase-DeLisleu0022u003eHUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1212942"],"_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":"Robinson is one of my favorite prospects out of Section II and is one of the best all-around two way players in the area. As a LB, Robinson shows athleticism and strength that lead to violent tackles. Robinson plays aggressive and his burst and closing speed make him a sideline to sideline backer. Offensively Robinson carries the ball with the same physicality that he plays defense with. Offensively he shows some long speed you do not get to see defensively. Robinson wins a lot of reps because he is simply a better athlete and more physical than his opponents, he needs to continue to develop his ability to get off blocks and I would like to see more coverage reps there are clear intriguing traits to his game.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eCheck out Robinson's u003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/profile/16106486/Marcus-Robinsonu0022u003eHUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65f7b6632cfcf"} /-->
