<p>[player_tooltip player_id='829436' first='Aiden' last='Dawkins'], a 5'7”, 160-pound running back from Millville. Despite being undersized, Aiden showed a lot of flashes on tape, demonstrating his elusiveness and speed. He doesn't let his size hinder his performance on the football field.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of Aiden's standout traits is his route running. He showcased his ability to win in one-on-one situations against linebackers at the PSR Combine. This skill adds a valuable dimension to his game, making him a dual threat as both a runner and a receiver.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This upcoming season, Aidan is expected to get the lion's share of the carries. I'm looking forward to seeing him create more explosive plays in one-on-one situations. [player_tooltip player_id='829436' first='Aiden' last='Dawkins'] is a player to watch this season, with his ability to turn heads and make significant contributions to his team's offense.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1476852' first='Nick' last='Thomas'] from Rumson-Fair Haven is a 5'9”, 175-pound wide receiver who showcases a blend of elusiveness, shiftiness, and suddenness. Right off the bat, his route running stands out. He runs crisp routes with great precision, demonstrating a set of hips that allow him to snap down quickly and get open consistently. He excels in both short and deep routes, showing versatility in his ability to create separation.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Nick also possesses a great pair of hands, catching the ball naturally and securely, whether with his hands or body. This ability makes him reliable in various situations on the field. Another standout trait is his yards after the catch; Nick does an excellent job using one-on-one moves to create additional yardage once the ball is in his hands.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p> Nick has the potential to be a Division I wide receiver. If I were to compare his game to a former player in Jersey, [player_tooltip player_id='220086' first='Alexander' last='Bosch'] from Woodbridge comes to mind. Both Nick and Alex share that shiftiness and suddenness, especially in their route running, making them difficult for defenders to cover.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1004630' first='Zion' last='Risher'] stands at 6'1" and weighs 190 pounds. He has a methodical playstyle, with a standout trait being his ability to throw a pretty deep ball. His deep ball accuracy is likely underrated, which is a significant asset in modern football.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>When watching Zion on tape, it's clear that he's often given easy throws, including screens and passes below the sticks, which limits his use of the intermediate parts of the field. Despite this, Zion has the skill set to eventually grow into a quarterback who can effectively utilize the entire field. He has great potential and displays excellent movement within the pocket, allowing him to buy time and make plays.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If I had to compare Zion's game to another player, he reminds me of Jordan Love. Like Love, Zion can make throws from the pocket and prefers to pass rather than run, although he can run when necessary. I truly believe Zion's best football is ahead of him. With development, particularly in making throws in tight windows and challenging defenses in the intermediate parts of the field, Zion can grow into a top prospect. His potential suggests that he will continue to make significant strides in his game.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1476898' first='Logan' last='Simpson'], a 5'11”, 185-pound linebacker from Absegami in South Jersey stands out with his impressive instincts and knack for always being around the football, making critical plays such as pass breakups and interceptions. He's a good athlete who excels at playing downhill, attacking with aggression when unblocked.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One area where Logan can improve is in his strength. While he can make tackles in space, getting stronger will allow him to deliver punishment rather than merely absorbing it. Currently, he plays more like an athlete who happens to be a linebacker rather than a pure linebacker. However, in today's game, that versatility and athleticism are highly valuable.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With increased strength, Logan could catch the attention of Power 4 (P4) programs and potentially earn an offer. He has the skill set and athletic ability to play at the Division I level, and as he continues to develop, he has the potential to become a solid prospect for college</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1284771' first='Marcus' last='Goldsack'] is a 6'1”, 160-pound quarterback from Secaucus. His tape reveals an impressive pocket presence. Marcus stands tall in the pocket, scanning the field effectively. His two most notable throws are a deep pass outside the numbers and another on a crossing route, immediately positioning him as a formidable quarterback.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>What Marcus excels at is attacking the intermediate parts of the field. He demonstrates a knack for driving the ball on Dig routes and finding lanes in zone coverage to exploit. While he tends to be more of a touch thrower than someone who consistently drives the football down the field, he has shown the ability to make those throws. Given his frame, it would be beneficial to see him drive the football more frequently.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In addition, Marcus possesses solid mobility. He can extend plays, evade rushers, and buy time to locate open receivers downfield. These traits are crucial for success at the next level. [player_tooltip player_id='1284771' first='Marcus' last='Goldsack'] has many attributes that can translate well to college football. Once he puts together a full season showcasing his skills, he will likely attract attention and earn a Division I offer early in the season.</p>
