He has good size and arm length that makes him a big target to throw to. Kayden is a playmaker with the ball in his hands and is a guy who can turn a 7 yard slant into a 70 yard touchdown.  He routinely gets elevated and wins contested throws. I like the way Kayden tracks the balls in the air and uses his hands to make catches. Davis shows good footwork catching sidelines throws. Kayden is a complete WR that is expected to have a productive Fall season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18360726/6562dd0b7bd2e20be8dcde3d' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669d7f870dba4"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1226243"],"_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-669d7f870dbf2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Granger is a versatile defender for Berlin High School. He can line up as a defensive end or as an outside linebacker. At DE, he can win with his size. He shows the ability to stop the outside run but can also play as a stand up DE and rush the passer. At OLB, he plays with gap discipline and integrity. Sean is a reliable tackler both at the LOS and in space. The ability to play multiple positions with success highlights the athleticism of Granger. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17770891/65712403bd74400bbc907d38' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669d7f870dc16"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1028725"],"_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-669d7f870dc54"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ean is a RB/MLB at Xavier HS in CT. Ean is a RB who will wear down the defense. He is a hard nosed runner who does not go down after the first contact. Pringle has as much success running between the tackles as he does running outside the tackles. He shows good vision when reading his blocks and patience to let the play develop. In the red zone Ean is a guy you want to get the ball too. He also shows the ability to come out of the backfield as a pass weapon. Ean will be the centerpiece of his offense this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19529687/654149450c53e803d4893a83' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669d7f870dc74"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1087733"],"_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-669d7f870dce5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thad is one of those rare football players. He plays both QB and LB at Brookfield HS. One thing is clear about Thad is that he loves the game of football. He plays LB with the same passion and effort as he does QB. At QB, he is a dual threat to run and pass the ball. At LB, he flies around and is a tackling machine. Thad has impressive athleticism that shines when the ball is in his possession. He continually creates big plays with his legs. Look out for the ALL SWC Honorable Mention to have a strong fall season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17823268/6589d066f31e3e053cfdf2a5' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669d7f870dd09"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1080749"],"_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-669d7f870dd44"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cordell is an explosive player at RB. He has a high level combination of speed and quickness. He is liable to score everytime he touches the ball. Cordell is an athlete that you create special packages for. At Portland HS, Jones had a ton of success in the wildcat formation. He shows good vision through the LOS and then runs by the second level. At times Cordell will line up as a WR. He has route running ability and reliable hands that add another dimension to his game. Cordell is one of the most dynamic players in the state of Maine.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/20226075/655bcae5da5b5a082c84ffa1' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669d7f870dd62"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
