It seemed as if every time i was watching this young man throw the ball it was for a big play or a deep touchdown.  He was shredding defenses all weekend long.  I loved his ability to not get lazy in the pocket, making it a point on every snap to work his footwork on his drop backs.  Something you love to see a Quarterback do especially in a 7v7 setting.  He showed excellent touch and rhythm in his throws.  Almost every throw it seemed as if he knew exactly where he would go with the ball.  His ability to move defenders with his eyes to free up receivers and make pin point throws was a strong talent that you can easily pick up on.  Although, I dont know how many touchdown passes Solley threw i would be willing to bet he led the tournament in that category.  I had him as my tournament MVP. Big junior season ahead for this young man.  He has some years to fill into his frame and that can easily align him as a Division 1 prospect with his height he already has.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6633d2dcef19b"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JacksonSolley1/status/1785308610714562894","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/JacksonSolley1/status/1785308610714562894 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1263038"],"_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":"Brandon was electric all weekend making a ton of big time plays for his squad Swag 7v7. He's listed at 5'10u0022 and 160 pounds.  He was not known to us in our PRZ player database prior to this event.  He's a little undersized but add in his blazing speed, exceptional ball skills and the fact he is only class of 2026 with room to develop physically and you got yourself  not only a playmaker but a potential division one prospect.  I watched him blaze by defenders on atleast 3 or 4 scores to the point he look like a cheat code out there.  He made difficult catches look easy all weekend. His ability to stop on a dime and then change directions was on full display and was fun to watch. He plays with a ton of passion.  Definitely a prospect you would want to dive into a little more coaches if you havent already.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6633d6643ed67"}

Pennsylvania.  Has great length and speed to play the position.  All tournament he seemed to be around the ball making plays.  Not sure of the exact number but he had multiple interceptions all weekend.  He showed his ability to get his hands on you in man to man coverage and disrupt receivers timing on routes.  His ballhawking skills and elite speed stood out to me most.  One of the more notable things i was able to research after looking into this prospect further is he just recently recorded an 11.21 second time in the 100 meters for his High School track team.  With two more seasons before graduation year Zahaid is without a doubt a prospect to continue to follow into his junior season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6633e12eaa9d1"}

all weekend.  He was making defenders miss and turning what should have been a 5 yard gain into 40 yard touchdowns.  If he wasnt making guys miss and making big time run after catch plays than he was beating defenders deep over the top of defenses.  He has a nice stalky frame with exceptional speed.  He's an absolute burner on the field who was often a mismatch whoever is in front of him.  Made some unbelievably difficult catches in traffic for scores on deep balls.  Has strong hands.  He caught everything thrown his way.  There wasn't much he didn't do for his team when it came to making plays.  He currently holds Division 1 offers from schools like Robert Morris University, Stony Brook University and most notably his most recent coming from University of Maine.  I predict him to pick up a few more offers before its all said and done.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6633e12eaaa39"}

Pennsylvania.  Currently holds a division 1 offer from Kent State that he picked up in May of 2023.  At the tournament he made every catch thrown his way.  He has a big catch radius.  He proved to be a crafty route runner for his size that can work the middle of the field and the outside.  He catches balls in traffic with his strong reliable hands and excellent ball skills.  On several plays I witnessed him track the ball over the shoulder and make some elite catches down the field.  This was clearly a strong trait of his.  He made the catches look a lot easier than they are.  Expecting a big senior season from him next fall and wouldn't be surprised to see him roll in some more offers by then.  A solid recruit to follow.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-663e47948a7a9"}
