Tape forced my hand, I felt obligated to post part of his film on Twitter, I don't do that for everyone. Cracked the 2026 Top75, this being a debut for the young man, certainly a high one. First rep on tape gives you insight on a couple factors of his game. Stride off the LOS, Smith gets out of his TE stance easily and builds up a respectable stride for his build. Athleticism, moreso hand-eye coordination while tracking the football allows him to come down with a nasty one-hand catch in traffic. Body control witnessed here too, hell of a way to start your tape. As tape progresses, you can see Smith excel with his hand in the dirt in four-down-linemen sets. See a lot of 4-2-5 out of Bethel Park's defense, Smith can realistically serve as a starting DE shading outside of tackles and TEs. Use of hands sticks out immediately, off-hand swipes kock weak punches away. Offensive usage is creative, BP can deploy multiple TE sets and station Smith along either weak or strong sides of the formation. BP has Smith working against the flow of the offense often, backdoor wheels, misdirections, Smith serves as a great leaker in the pass game. Ranking Smith alongside some of the classes best should be a clear indicator of where I think he projects. That being said, Smith is going to have to likely perform well at camps against bigger TEs and DEs, while also stacking another year of success on top of this tape. I'd circle his name if you see him on roster.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65e040f46ad54"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JovianSmith0/status/1722479234784919600","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/JovianSmith0/status/1722479234784919600 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1155998"],"_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 tu003cliu003e6'3, 170u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003ebasketball participantu003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernFrist rep on tape has McKee shedding on the perimeter and delivering a jarring clean-up tackle. In a tape that has him securing interceptions and catching touchdowns, I appreciate that he chose a run support clip from his DB alignment to start his sophomore tape. Can serve as a deep middle third, looks comfortable in single-high sets that run C3. Can serve as a press corner and match up well with bigger number-one wideouts. Towsen is a wideout that can do a bit of everything, Mckee II can open things up for the offense based on stride alone. A long-limbed athlete who is likely to settle into a specific role as he continues to develop at GTA.  I like McKee as a top 15 two-way player in the state, with a clear top ten ceiling. Production is likely to increase on both sides of the ball. Recruiting would likely heat up after seeing which way his body develops. Can he still keep good speed while adding potential weight? If he stays at this weight, will he be able to keep up with wideouts outside the numbers? Is he a future S or OLB? This kid's potential is through the roof, one of my favorite prospects to bring up to coaches.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65e040f46ad96"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/MickMcKee3/status/1744538987660738888","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/MickMcKee3/status/1744538987660738888 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1155898"],"_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 tu003cliu003e6'5, 285u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eDL/OLu003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernYou see [player_tooltip player_id='1155898' first='Tavian' last='Branch']'s name on your camp roster, make note immediately. He's likely to stick out early anyways, standing at 6'5, 285, the Riverside two-way trench player won't be hard to find in a crowd. I prefer to translate Branch's game to the offensive side of the ball, yet have no problem hearing some coaches might prefer him as a 1-tech. Tape starts off with a ferocious rep at NG, creates easy penetration, and comes up with his lone sack on the year. Straight power user, brute strength off the snap combined with lower body explosion gets him through smaller centers easily, especially against the run. Many pressures led to turnovers, many TFLs registered from OC/OG head-up alignment. Ton of DL praise, yet I'm enamored with his possible projection to tackle at the next level. Excels as a run-blocking ROG/LOG, seen playing both sides of the center. Is a mauler, don't let this young man get momentum as an active puller, he's going to pave you out of the way with ease. Reps like this prove his upside as a potential OL. I love what he provides at NG/DT, yet his run-blocking skills might be a bit more valuable.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65e040f46add7"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BranchTavian/status/1752007883162628515","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/BranchTavian/status/1752007883162628515 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1156194"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1156194' first='Qalil' last='Goode']'s name still buzzing a bit after his incredible Championship performance back in December. As we transition to the off-season, I fully expect Goode to catch the eyes of important people out west, especially if he camps with his Aliquippa teammates. Tape starts off with an interception out of a Cover 2 Shell from his safety spot. Narrowly missed ranking as a top five DB, yet he's likely to move up our ranks, even if recruiting doesn't pick up this Spring/Summer. Knack for the football, smart kid who can key smash, vert, flood, and level concepts on the go. Positions himself accordingly once the ball has left the hand of the QB. Disciplined, trusts his own skills and speed yet doesn't overestimate his abilities. Capable of playing inside or outside slot positions if he has to come down from his safety position. Kid is seasoned enough I wouldn't be surprised to learn he can play OTN CB. With the program success, and eyes on prospects like Tikey Hayes and [player_tooltip player_id='670812' first='Larry' last='Moon III'], Goode is a name that could build up steam this Spring/Summer. I'd circle his name if seen at camp.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65ea32b19a753"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/pook_shiesty/status/1734423966918312265","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/pook_shiesty/status/1734423966918312265 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["940383"],"_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, 210u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eRB/OLB capableu003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernMuscular build, thick lower legs has the sophomore looking like a senior. First rep on tape has Castillo aligning at H-Back, he routes to the flat, catches the football and accelerates for a touchdown about 35+ yards out. A unique football player, he looks like a compact ILB ready to push back the pile against the run, then you witness him work on offense, he blends TE and RB skills well, don't see this type of ATH often. Reminds me a bit of [player_tooltip player_id='91542' first='Camron' last='Watkins'] out of Bald Eagle Area HS. RB and TE are options, yet I think the kid's skillset translates to OLB better than anything. Great twitch out of his stance, can play at the LOS or off, can set the edge in support of the run if he's align strong side pre-snap. Can take on blockers who want to get to the perimeter and blow up plays. Closing speed is on par with some of the best in the state. SH will deploy Castillo in a 3-4 set up front, letting him work speed rushes against either tackle. Castillo gets a high grade out of myself. Interested in knowing what kind of ATH he is in shorts and a t-shirt. His blend of size and athleticsm will draw coaches attention in a camp setting.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65ea32b19a70f"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/farrmj/status/1706852103778410858","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/farrmj/status/1706852103778410858 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1155999"],"_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, 185u003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003e3.0 GPAu003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernA physically imposing wideout capable of drawing number one wideout reps. Strong hands and excellent hand-eye coordination jumps off the screen immediately. First two reps have [player_tooltip player_id='1155999' first='Damien' last='Holloway'] working the intermediate game. Draped by defenders, Holloway proves he can catch both through traffic, as well as away from his body. With a radius that extends above his helmet, Holloway's complete skill set makes him an automatic candidate for targets inside the red zone as well as at the goal line. Would double his production if situated in a better passing attack. Scores on a nine on tape, tracks the ball well, gets behind his defender with an easy stride. Love his reps at corner but he naturally projects to the offensive side of the ball. Safety and corner reps are icing on the cake. Top 100 player in his class, a name I'd watch for if he attends your camp this Spring/Summer.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65e040f46ae59"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/damienHollowa12/status/1721046967810207986","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/damienHollowa12/status/1721046967810207986 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
