At the showcase he moved fluidly through drills with good balance. He is a very lean athlete with excellent feet. He proved why he is the number 1 ranked prospect in New England. I expect Jacob recruiting process to continue to soar piling up more offers as he gets through the fall of 2024.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/jacob_burns847/status/1797773240267637094","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/jacob_burns847/status/1797773240267637094 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401841"],"_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-666092c792a8a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='401841' first='Peter' last='Bourque'] is a 6'4" Quarterback who has just reclassified to class of 2027 at Tabor Academy. He is really no stranger to the New England region as he is another prospect receiving FBS interest from colleges. He has had a very interesting off season picking up 5 offers since January 28th. His first offer came from University of Maryland, his most recent and perhaps the most notable, an sec offer from University of Kentucky. Peter looked flawless in his showday. He can make all the throws needed. An accurate passer with a strong arm. I love how he was moving in the pocket during drill period, his base was very active and he moved through the drills at game tempo and speed. He wasn't just going through the motions. Proved to be a player that practices the way he plays. Another prospect who his headed into a national direction with still a few more years under his belt before he graduates. I can see a lot more offers coming his way!!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/PeterBourque7/status/1797704986404573284","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/PeterBourque7/status/1797704986404573284 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["943126"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-666092c792adb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='943126' first='Botond' last='Varga'] was measured at 6'7" in height and weighed 305 pounds.

Botond maximizes every bit of what he is listed at for height and weight. He is currently the number 1 ranked prospect in New England. During drill period Botond showed off his ability to fire off and punch with his hands. Displayed good technique within his base for such a big young man. I expect Botond to land plenty more offers before its all said and done. He currently holds five Division 1 offers from schools like BC, Duke, Syracuse, Umass and Uconn. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/botond_var30766/status/1758305408823824686","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/botond_var30766/status/1758305408823824686 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1250054"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1298835,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-666092c792b27"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1250054' first='Grady' last='Holmes'] was measured at 6'8" in height and weighed 305 pounds. He will be at Tabor Academy in the fall of 24' announcing he is reclassifying into class of 2027 via Twitter on April 10th, 2024. He has a 3.6 GPA. Grady moved through drills pretty fluid for his size. He flashed the ability to be able to move the line of scrimmage for sure. He is a rising underclassman that all coaches should know about. With three season still ahead of him before graduation, Grady is on track to develop and grow into a big time prospect for Tabor Academy. He has physical measurables that align him as a Division 1 prospect. I predict his stock to rise tremendously by next year this time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/GradyHolmes77/status/1778223925027045414","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/GradyHolmes77/status/1778223925027045414 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["943868"],"_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-666092c792b74"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Isaiah is a rising underclassman that is gaining some national attention already as a freshman. He goes to Springfield Central High School in Springfield, Ma. He measured in at 5'11" in height an 185 pounds in weight. He held five Division 1 offers prior to the showday. Since then he has picked up three more. He currently holds 8 offers from schools like Mississippi St, BC, Syracuse, Maryland, Nebraska, Uconn, Umass, and URI. I was also able to confirm speed as he recently ran a sub par 11 second 100 meters at a track meet. Isaiah has a confirmed 40 yard dash time of 4.5 seconds laser timed at the Under Armour Camp in New Jersey. He has a nice frame that seems to still have plenty of time to fill out and continue to grow and develop physically. His elite speed mixed with his lean frame is the reason he is receiving national attention. Isaiah will likely continue to gain National interest from schools. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Isaiah_Rogers08/status/1795893486224314680","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/Isaiah_Rogers08/status/1795893486224314680 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->

This will be part 2 of the series featuring Class of 2027 prospects….
