<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I have five more promising prospects to review, analyzing their game film, prospect camp highlights, and my notes. These athletes are all key contributors on their respective teams. Among them, [player_tooltip player_id='1156137' first='William' last='Ki Gorman'] is the only player with current D1 offers. The remaining four future recruits are [player_tooltip player_id='914700' first='Jaivin' last='Peel'], Joe McAneny, [player_tooltip player_id='1433103' first='Tasso' last='Whipple'], and [player_tooltip player_id='599562' first='Nico' last='Mauro'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1156137"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66778ffc2d122"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/willkigorman/status/1800247272547946552","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/willkigorman/status/1800247272547946552 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gorman is a consistent threat at DE for Imani Christian. His long wingspan and quick first step make him a formidable force off the snap. He sets the edge well and shows above-average redirection in run support. Skilled at causing turnovers and TFLs in the offensive backfield, Will is also a proficient blitzer, using his size (roughly 6'3, 240 lbs) to bat down passes. Gorman is a D1-level recruit, holding scholarships from Akron, Troy, UNLV, Miami OH, and Hampton. This summer, he has competed at camps for Penn State, Maryland, Kentucky, and Pitt.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["914700"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66778ffc2d196"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/PeelJaivin/status/1803571852553454033","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/PeelJaivin/status/1803571852553454033 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jaivin is a prospect who has been extensively discussed and analyzed on this platform. He was ultra-productive in his freshman season and demonstrated poise in the pocket beyond his years. Peel's QB mechanics are above average, especially considering his age. His arm is strong enough to complete passes on all three levels. The 27' QB1 has a quick release and consistently makes the correct reads. His deep ball placement is particularly impressive. Jaivin performed well at Pitt's camp and has competed fiercely at Ohio State, Rutgers, and Boston College's respective camps.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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":"Joe McAneny","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_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":"195","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Richland","_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66778ffc2d26d"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McAneny is an intriguing prospect who will only improve with Richland's offseason strength program. He naturally fights through blocks in run support and tracks down the action effectively. Joe rushes the passer well and will be even more formidable with increased hand violence. His good motor and promising size at 6'2, 195 lbs, with two seasons left for development, make him one of Richland's top-returning defensive playmakers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["599562"],"_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66778ffc2d2c8"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mauro is a fluid linebacker who plays with football smarts. He reads his keys well, which allows him to quickly get to the play. Mauro is a good hitter in space. The 5'11, 225 lbs linebacker is strong and plays off blocks well. Nico plays with good effort and tracks plays laterally effectively. The all-conference senior leader has caught the attention of several D2 programs but is presently unoffered. Nico possesses agility, which he showcased running the football last year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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_tooltip player_id='1433103' first='Tasso' last='Whipple']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"190","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Penn Trafford","_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":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66778ffc2d379"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/tasso_whipple/status/1799272087061970988","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/tasso_whipple/status/1799272087061970988 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Whipple is a tough prospect who gives his all on the gridiron. He runs the football with good vision and balance, showcasing his playmaking ability on many elusive touchdown runs. On defense, he's a reliable tackler in space who doesn't back down from competition. He does a good job of not allowing run blockers to get their hands on him. Overall, Tasso is a two-way player with room for improvement this season. The senior running back rushed for 1,000 yards last season for Penn Trafford. Tasso plays with toughness, mixed with home run-hitting speed and agility. Whipple currently has one scholarship offer from Slippery Rock.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
