In this article I will preview my top 3 Running Backs &amp; Top 2 Defensive Backs that attended this event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

player_id='1234239' first='Ethan' last='Hudson'] is a 2025 Running Back who plays at Norwalk High School in Connecticut.  He measures in at 5'10u0022 and 187 pounds.  Ethan had some first class testing scores to take note of.  Most impressively his 40 yard dash time which was confirmed at 4.5 seconds and was first amongst all attendees.  His Broad Jump finished in the top two at the showcase falling just shy of 10 feet by an inch.  His 5-10-5 shuttle was confirmed at 4.38 seconds which was top five.  His long arms proves to give some hope that he could possibly have some more room to grow into his body.  That could be something to pay close attention to as he already has the measurables both physically and athletically to catch interest from coaches.  Adding some more height to his frame with the speed he possesses would only solidify him even more as D-1 prospect.  During the 1 on 1 portion of the showcase he showed off his ability to come out the backfield and prove he can be a threat catching the ball.  He caught every ball thrown his way with his hands.  One of the more notable things i witnessed from him on the day was him receive some coaching on his route running and then apply what he was taught the next rep.  He proved his ability to be coachable.  He is a solid D-1 prospect.  I have Ethan as my top ranked running back at this showcase.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6639402a0db4e"}

number two running back and very arguably could have been number one.  He tested in the top five in the 5-10-5 shuttle run at the combine with a 4.35 second shuttle.  Jalen seem to have quick feet and a nice burst in and out of cuts witnessed in the running back stations.  During the 1 on 1 portion against the linebackers he ran routes out the backfield and from the slot, he was often a mismatch against his defenders because of his speed.  He ran a confirmed 4.78 second 40 yard dash.  With a few years ahead of himself for more bone and muscle growth development he is going to surely be a prospect to keep an eye on through this process.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6639402a0dc10"}

He is undersized now but has time to develop physically still to solidify himself as solid running back recruit.  Wish i could have seen more from him but he had to leave early but i would definitely say he left a long lasting impression on me to want to see more of him this fall season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6639402a0dcc3"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Lincoln_Corr1/status/1786939321435513336","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/Lincoln_Corr1/status/1786939321435513336 </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":"","_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_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6639402a0dd10"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6639402a0ddbd"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1268390"],"_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":"Jayden Francois is a class of 2025 Athlete that attends Quincy High School in Massachusetts.  He stands 5'10u0022 tall and weighs 147 pounds.  Jayden was lights out in the combine testing finishing in 1st place amongst all attendees in everything but the 40 yard dash.

During 1 on 1's he was played good man to man coverage showing his ability to get physical with receivers at the line of scrimmage.  I would like to see how much more weight he can add to his frame because that might be only thing keeping him from being considered a college football prospect at any level right now.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6639402a0deb5"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/PRZ_CoachQuisse/status/1787515533534916820","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/PRZ_CoachQuisse/status/1787515533534916820 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
