Barresi out of Cardinal Newman in Ontario just plays with a high level of poise and command. On film, his confidence is evident, and his ability to control the pocket and read the field is impressive. Barresi can make throws all over the field and displays the ability to throw both from the pocket and on the run. Barresi scans the field well and showcases consistent decision-making where he gets the ball to his open guys quickly. Barresi also makes several throws in his tape from the opposite hash to the sideline across most of the field where he displays not only good arm strength but also an understanding of when to put some velocity on balls and when to throw with more touch and air under the ball.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6615bc9fe3fdc"} /--> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Next Five</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1240075"],"_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":"Ouellette the leading passer in Quebec this past season for Limoilou has had a coveted career in Canada.
