<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Some evaluations/scouting notes on prospects in Section I </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Right now I have all of these players as really solid recruitable D3 prospects based on their Junior tape. I think that all of these guys have a trait or two that would interest D2 or FCS schools with continued development and strong senior performances. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1283660"],"_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-6675fd812a8c1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kaplow out of Horace Greeley came off a Meniscus Surgery to turn in a strong season as a Junior. Kaplow plays primarily MLB and is by my evaluations a top 3 LB in the Section. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kaplow is 6' 200lbs and has the frame to play at 210+ at the next level, he shows solid instincts downhill. Kaplow is a straight line athlete who takes good angles and is a consistent with his fundamentals as a tackler on tape. Kaplow is a high-upside D3 prospect based on his Junior tape. However, there are some traits that will even stronger play this year Kaplow could easily garner some D2 or FCS looks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1283866"],"_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-6675fd812a92d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Varley out of Mahopac is a player who really shows promising qualities on tape. Quick hands with a strong initial punch with flashes of violent finishing plays. Varley's best trait is his upfield burst and ability to shoot gaps getting into the backfield. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Varley is only 6' 230 which at the defensive tackle position hurts is evaluation a little bit but if you project him to the defensive end position at the next level - ideally a 5 technique in a 3 man front he falls more into a very intriguing D3 prospect level prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1283892"],"_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-6675fd812a974"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There is less film on Cisse than many other prospects but in the film on his hudl you can piece together some intriguing traits and positional versatility. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cisse plays a little bit of everything for Yonkers Brave but his best position is OLB. Cisse has a solid frame where he can utilize his length shedding blocks and coming off the edge. Cisse is a solid athlete who shows some explosiveness in his movements. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1283938"],"_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-6675fd812a9b6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Barry who plays primarily free safety for Clarkstown North is a well-rounded D3 prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Barry has solid ball skills and good instincts to close on the catch point. He has a good amount of varsity experience and has excelled as the last line of defense for Clarkstown North. His best ability is his willingness as a tackler. Barry often forced to make tackles in space is a physical tackler who does not shy away from contact. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1284009"],"_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-6675fd812a9f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Samuels is the biggest prospect on this list and he shows quality traits that could be utilized at the next level on the defensive line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Samuels has a strong base with a solid natural anchor which helps eat blocks without being moved. Samuels moves well laterally and does a good job of consistently shedding blocks with his hands. A solid D3 interior defensive line prospect who also could see a future at offensive guard at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
