PRZPA Team Preview, Hempfield

<p><strong>Season Outlook</strong>: Hempfield had a rebuilding year last year after going 3-7 last year. They bring back many players who garnered starting experience and should benefit this upcoming season.</p>   <p><strong>Current Head Coach</strong>: George Eager </p>   <p><strong>Top returning players for the 2024 season:</strong></p>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='855273' first='Cameron' last='Margeson'] had a good year last year as a wide receiver for Hempfield. He runs good routes and catches the ball well. He especially catches the ball well when the ball is thrown in difficult places. He also does a good job of catching the ball in traffic. He seems to know exactly how to find the opening in the defense. Margeson was at our Prep Redzone showcase and did a nice job participating in the camp. I am expecting a big Senior year from him.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/margeson58558/status/1785709741932478694 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1133956' first='Brayden' last='Charles'] is another talented wide receiver for Hempfield. He does a great job of catching 50/50 balls against defenders. He has great size (6'3 inches tall) and he knows how to use that size to his advantage. Below is what my colleague [player_tooltip player_id='1156407' first='Vic' last='Castillo'] wrote about Charles:</p>   <p>"Primaries as an outside lane wideout. Can serve as an impact blocker out wide, can be tasked with stretching the field vertically. Not a blazer but is seen getting open thanks to his longer-than-average stride. Has a rep or two on tape that showcases his high-pointing ability, I think he could be a better producer next Fall. Rest of tape has him serving as a trustworthy comeback/hitch/slant runner. Sure hands for the most part. Wouldn't be surprised to see his stock boosted this time next year". </p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BraydenCharles0/status/1754955705491095942 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='941173' first='Landon' last='Frohnapfel'] has limited film and it is a mixture of Junior Varsity and Varsity. He shows excellent instincts at the linebacker position. He does a nice job of reading and reacting to the offensive play and then attacking downhill to make the play. He is good in the run game especially as he is a tackling machine in the box. As a tackler, he does a good job of tackling ball carriers, especially in the open field. Frohnapfel should be an even bigger contributor this season for Hempfield.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1165828' first='Ramel' last='Lyles'] has no film from last season, but he came to our Prep Redzone Showcase and did well. He earned a 3rd team selection for his performance from the camp. I expect him to be a contributor this season for Hempfield. Below is what my colleague Dylan <a href="https://prepredzone.com/author/dylancallaghancroley/">Callaghan-Croley</a> said about him at the showcase:</p>   <p>"Lyles checked in at 5-foot-9 and just under 160 pounds. Had some impressive testing numbers including an 8'11.5 broad jump and followed it up on the field with a strong showing".</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='953537' first='Orion' last='Abrams'] is another talented wide receiver and outside linebacker for Hempfield. Abrams has limited film but shows promise as a wide receiver and an outside linebacker. I expect him to get on the field somewhere this season for Hempfield. He did attend a Prep Redzone Showcase and earned a 3rd team selection. Below is what my colleague Carl Frederick wrote about him earlier this year: </p>   <p>"Oh boy does Head Coach George Eager have a nice piece to work with in 2027 prospect <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='953537' first='Orion' last='Abrams']</strong>, he had himself a day. One of the top returning receivers in the Lancaster-Lebanon league Abrams had good measurables, ran well, and competed with some of the best defensive backs in the state".</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Orionabrams3/status/1800607494902804507 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">David Ennis has a limited film from last year, but he showcased good skills in that film. He played primarily as a linebacker last year. He does a nice job of reading and reacting to the play and attacking downhill. He is a good run defender who does a good job inside the box making plays against the run. He is a good tackler, who does a nice job of taking ball carriers down to the ground. He projects as a linebacker and as a tight end this season for Hempfield. Ennis's recruitment is starting to heat up with an offer to Albright.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/drebeast0410/status/1805972331623264274 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">Leo Breault played offensive tackle last year for Hempfield. He has great size (6'4 inches) and length for an offensive tackle. He does a good job of extending his arms to push defenders off the ball. He moves his feet well to stay in front of defenders. He is especially good as a pass blocker. He can use his length, and strength to keep defenders from attacking off the edge. Breault with a good off-season should be even better this season. Breault's recruitment has started to gain steam with an offer from McDaniel. </p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/LeoBreault79/status/1812966817595605112 </div></figure>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/LeoBreault79/status/1798018374938833298 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">Dominick Acevedo is a football player who can do a ton of different things on the football field, but his season was cut short by an injury. He played as a wide receiver and as a safety for Hempfield last year. At wide receiver, he played as a slot receiver. He showed a good ability to catch the ball in traffic and make people miss in space. On defense, he shows his versatility. He played free safety and as a strong safety. At both positions, he does a nice job in coverage. He also showed a good ability to tackle as well. Finally, he blocked a punt as well. Acevedo is a good prospect in the 2025 class and just needs to stay healthy to have a productive season. </p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Dominick629_/status/1714018529475735788 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='855276' first='Grayson' last='Doyle'] does not have any film from last season, but projects as safety and wide receiver next season for Hempfield. He ran a 40 time of 4.53 at Coastal Carolina's camp. Doyle should make an impact for Hempfield this season on offense or defense. </p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/graysondoyle1/status/1799152695472722188 </div></figure>   <p><strong>Final Thoughts</strong>: Hempfield plays in the highly competitive Section 1 of the Lancaster Lebanon League. They have a nice core of players returning. As you noticed on this list I did not list a quarterback, that will be a big part of the season and Hempfield is still working this out. If a quarterback develops they could be a good team.</p>

Season Outlook: Hempfield had a rebuilding year last year after going 3-7 last year. They bring back many players who garnered starting experience and should benefit this upcoming season.
