On April 30th, months after posting awesome OL tape from this past Fall, and weeks after making the rounds at local junior days, Avonworth's Engelmore heard back from Coach Jason Makrinos. Robert Morris pulled the trigger, opening up recruiting for Engelmore. Good eye on the staff, this kid fits the mold. Expect Duquesne and Saint Francis to pull the trigger, local MAC schools are likely to inquire.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6632d626a952d"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/NEngelmore/status/1785303798895759425","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/NEngelmore/status/1785303798895759425 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["646685"],"_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":"One of the best QB prospects the class of 2026 has to offer currently.

Despite every local FBS program knowing of Harris' skillset, the year 2024 has been relatively quiet surrounding the Top Five quarterback. That is until Kent State offered Harris on May 1st, making it the second G5 program to pull the offer trigger on the All-State QB. Harris' talents are Power Four worthy, my ranking says as much.

A snowball is likely to occur in Oates's favor. Despite my constant clamoring for attention his way, I feel as though many aren't catching wind of his game. Likely to play TE this coming Fall, especially with his frame growing the way it has as of late. He's a capable defender too, yet he's likely to serve as a pass-catching option second to senior and Syracuse commit [player_tooltip player_id='386141' first='Julian' last='McFadden'].
