Event Recap: PSR BIG Camp Series – PA, CT Prospect Notes Vol. 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The circuit of back-to-back-to-back weekends on the road has come to a conclusion, as I was fortunate to attend&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/ScoutNickP">Coach Nick Pennisi's</a>&nbsp;PSR BIG Camp Series on Saturday, May 11. This marks the second year in a row that I covered the event. Pennisi has grown his significantly from last year. With over 400 prospects registered for the event, I had my work cut out for me to identify and scout some of the event's standouts. As I feverishly wrote notes, here are my scouting notes from the position group disclosed in this article's title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">PSR BIG

wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scout's Notebook: Pennsylvania Linebackers</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the size to play at mike, end, edge, sam, or will, Gianni Marino from Valley View projects out as a piece that defensive coordinators could deploy in a variety of schemes and in numerous fashions. At 6'3" 220lbs he checks the boxes for probably every college in the country; however, what impressed me with Marino was how he moved and soft skills. To the naked eye Marino ran extremely well, keeping up with every running back prospect he went against. Moreover, he opened and turned to his correct leverage each and every time out. Focused on the task at hand - doing so while moving at that - Marino deflected a pass, which turned into the tip drill. Marino ultimately came up with the ball and outran the running back who he defended as he returned in back the other way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scout's Notebook: Pennsylvania Offensive Line</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hailing from Oxford Area, [player_tooltip player_id='1326331' first='David' last='Kostyukov'] seems comes across as a glue guy along an offensive line's interior. Kostyukov did a nice job staying in front of most of his opponents as he power slid back and forth. Additionally, Kostyukov had enough upper body strength to hold down one of his opponent's most vicious rips..... For the second time in three weeks I had an opportunity to watch Conestoga's [player_tooltip player_id='1155990' first='Justin' last='Schwartz'] perform. One of the most physically gifted prospects at camp (6'5" 290lbs), Schwartz uses his hands extremely well. Schwartz showed that he works to refit his hands in the center of his opponent's chest, as well as hand fight to stop pass rush moves. I stand firm in my opinion that Schwartz's feet must improve in order for him to take the next leap in the rankings; however, he does still have two full seasons to improve upon this. Despite this bit of constructive criticism, Schwartz still managed to find ways to win many of his reps. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scout's Notebook: Pennsylvania Quarterbacks</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>From one Schwartz to another, [player_tooltip player_id='919511' first='Blake' last='Schwartz'] threw a ball that I was nearly enchanted and mesmerized with. The Tri-Valley quarterback had the trifecta of things I look for in a quarterback: quick release, zip, and command. Schwartz's quick release prevented defensive backs from getting adequate jumps on the ball to defend it; the zip on the ball allowed his throws to pierce through strong gusts of wind, as well as make for an extremely catchable ball; and his command on his throws indicated that each throw was a strike with purpose, intentional, and had meaning behind it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
