First off, I like his highlight tape. Harper Woods runs a very balanced offense, and J-Shawn demonstrates good pass and run blocking. As for pass blocking, I like his pass set, and he typically does a great job at delivering a good initial punch and being a brick wall for his QB. At camps, J-Shawn has consistently shown what he showed on tape and more. Using that great pass set, J-Shawn has consistently beat several good pass rushers. I think he could use some work with his agility, but in general, I 100% agree with the GLIAC offers he's been receiving. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["900399"],"_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-6681ef035dd5f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">#214 --&gt; 102<br><br>Jalen earns a significant rankings boost after I re-watched his film and considered his size + recent offers. <br>Speaking of his film, I think Jaden is relatively raw, but his size + strength hold him up as a solid D1 prospect. His size shows up on film. He's big, long, and extremely imposing. I like the way he fires off the ball, and Jaden flashes a few good pass rush moves. In the run game, Jaden is able to out-muscle most linemen but ideally needs to win earlier and more often. On top of that, I'd like to see Jaden bend and move a bit better. I hope Jaden is able to develop to his potential at Army! Regardless, he's a major stock riser who has a chance to continue climbing. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["899644"],"_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-6681ef035dda6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">#206 --&gt; #110<br><br>It's very difficult to stand out as a sub-6'4" offensive lineman. Carson cuts through the noise and has been able to become a solid GLIAC prospect. <br>I love Carson's potential as a D2 center. Currently, he displays a powerful first step and MOVES people on the O-Line. Right after he snaps the ball, Carson is able to use his leverage to eliminate defenders from the play. He's got a powerful first step, moves pretty well, and even has a few highlights blocking at the second-level. That said, his tape is a little one-dimensional, and the fact that I haven't seen him in person hurts his ranking a tad. Still, Carson earns a giant boost and he's quickly turned into one of the best Center prospects in Michigan. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["602107"],"_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-6681ef035dde7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Watch List --&gt; #118<br><br>It's about time Luke has earned a ranking. After his stellar performance at the Prep Redzone Combine Series, I needed to dig deeper. His film shows a great variety of power running, vision, and good speed. Luke is a highly-productive running back who I expect to have another amazing season in the OAA Red. The thing is, Luke lacks the top-tier athleticism needed to be recruited as a Division 1 running back. I could easily see GLIAC teams sending out an offer, but he needs to get in front of those GLIAC coaches and prove it. I hope Luke is able to show improvement this season, leading to late D2 offers. Although he doesn't have any offers, he's ranked as though he's a D2 prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1217534"],"_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-6681ef035de2b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">#144 --&gt; #119<br><br>I've talked about Carson a good amount recently, and I'm optimistic about what he can do next season. At the SVSU camp, Carson was the most-talented QB in attendance. He sports a quick release, good downfield accuracy, consistent fundamentals, and mostly good quick game accuracy + throw power. I'm still not 100% sold on Carson, but with a great season, he could move up even more. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["587912"],"_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-6681ef035de6b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">#200 --&gt; #131<br><br>Elliot earns a pretty substantial rankings boost. He's an ultra-competitive dual-threat QB who brings a lot of experience to the table. Also, I don't look into stats too much, but 60% passing is always nice to see. <br>His film showcases his dual-threat ability. As a runner, Elliott is great in the designed run as well as an improvised scramble. He isn't the most athletic guy in the world, but as a Quarterback, he has next-level potential as a runner. <br>As for passing, I really like his quick-game ability. Play after play, Elliott displays an ability to throw on time, quickly, with great accuracy and velocity on short routes. In addition, he is more than capable of delivering an accurate pass deep downfield or on the run. It's apparent that Elliott is well above-average in terms of both IQ and throwing talent. If he was a bit taller, he may be a MAC prospect. It looks like Elliott will end up in the GLIAC, and I'm looking forward to seeing where he lands. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
