Standing at 6'5", he is a formidable athlete who excels at stretching the middle of the field. His exceptional ability to make contested catches makes him a significant red zone threat. Switski's combination of size, athleticism, and skill allows him to outmatch defenders and secure crucial receptions. With his impressive build, he shows tremendous potential as a standout tight end for the class of 2027.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1304474"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6674e0b6f3f8b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hinsdale Central boasts a talented young tight end in [player_tooltip player_id='1304474' first='Tommy' last='Riordan']. Riordan has shown remarkable versatility at the position, running routes from the slot and blocking inline as a true "Y". His ability to dig out defensive ends on run plays is impressive, creating substantial lanes for the running game. As a natural pass catcher with soft hands, he excels in the passing game as well. Riordan aims to add weight and become even more dominant as he progresses through the ranks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1271823"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6674e0b6f3fef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1271823' first='Tyler' last='McConnell'] is a versatile standout for the Panthers, showcasing his athleticism across various positions. While excelling as an EDGE defender, he particularly shines on offense. His standout feature is his exceptional speed, which, combined with his 6'5" frame, enables him to outrun defenders effectively. Last season offered a glimpse of his potential, and in the upcoming years, McConnell is poised to become a memorable name in the sport.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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":"Isaac Pere","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027 ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"180","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2407","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Metea Valley High 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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6674e0b6f40a2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Isaac Pere stands out as a versatile player across all facets of the game. Whether on offense, defense, or special teams, Pere consistently catches the eye on film. As a tight end, he demonstrates a strong willingness to block, adeptly engaging defenders. His most impactful contributions come as a receiver, where he excels at attacking the ball in the air. Pere is difficult to bring down after the catch, often gaining significant yards with his elusive running style.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
