Aliquippa Showcase Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Not too long ago, I had the opportunity to make the drive from central Pennsylvania out to Pittsburgh to check out one of the state's defending champions, the Aliquippa Quips. While it was a long drive, being able to watch the Quips work for about two hours was well worth my time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below, I go over a handful of prospects that stood out to me from the showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["598916"],"_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":"Walker had himself a very good day at the showcase and was flashing off his speed and athleticism throughout the day. In the process, he picked up offers from both Robert Morris and St. Francis following the showcase. He's now a reported 5-foot-9 and just around 175-pounds. In line for a nice bump from his current ranking of 271.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-664e4ab1071f1"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["647645"],"_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":"Really strong day for Council who was throwing strong, tight spirals throughout the showcase and consistently placing balls very well especially on deep balls. He would pick up his first offer that day from Robert Morris and more should be in line for Council this fall if he can continue to show consistency week in and week out. Overall, a very impressive showing for Council and could be in line for a rankings bump in the next update.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-664e4ab107257"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["399251"],"_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":"The West Virginia commitment is now 6-foot-2 and pushing 225-pounds.

He went to the All-22 camp in State College this past weekend and won the MVP honors at linebacker.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-664e4ab1072ad"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["646782"],"_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":"The former Central Linebacker is now up to 5-foot-10 and nearly 200-pounds. The 2026 prospect put together a solid showing at the showcase and did a good job in my opinion continuing to raise his stock. He's been receiving FCS and FBS interest that should only continue now that he's with the Quips. Good athlete who moves well, shows the ability to drop back in coverage. Work has continuously improved throughout his career and I'm excited to see the next steps in his development now that he's with the Quips.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-664e4ab1072fd"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["646753"],"_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":"Making the move from North Hills to Aliquippia, Allen is now listed at 6-foot-1 and 330-pounds and he is every bit of that frame. That being said, despite the size, Allen was still able to move rather well with a rather low center of gravity and decently quick feets. He definitely has some agility to his game and there's a lot to like about his potential. Ultimately, his height may dictate what his ceiling is from a recruitment standpoint. He picked up an offer from Robert Morris just a few days after the showcase.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-664e4ab10734c"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations":"","_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-664e4ab107368"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["648230"],"_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":"Brooks already holds offers from Akron and Miami (OH) but he should see more interest come his way in the upcoming months. Now up to approximately 5-foot-11 and 202-pounds, Brooks is a well built athlete in the 2027 recruiting class. His combination of size and athleticism was impressive to watch in person and he was receiving interest from FBS coaches as well. Brooks was impressive for Central Catholic last season and now makes a scary Aliquippa team even scarier heading into the fall.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-664e4ab1073b4"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["670812"],"_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":"Moon continues to be a highly impressive prospect and one of the best that we've seen during our time here at PrepRedzone Pennsylvania. Moon even as a 2027 prospect stood out above the rest which is no disrespect to the rest of the Aliquippa roster but he's just that good. Major Power Four college coaches were paying attention to Moon throughout the showcase. On top of that, this past weekend he competed against some of the top regional prospects at the All-22 camp in State College and came away with the Defensive Back MVP honors.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-664e4ab107403"} /-->
