His ability to keep plays alive and make plays under pressure is exceptional. Alcorn excels when throwing on the move and executing designed plays within the offense. As we approach the 2024 season, it will be no surprise if Alcorn picks up offers by midseason. He is a highly talented quarterback with tremendous potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["252506"],"_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-6694265ab2cc1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='252506' first='Patrick' last='Heneghan'] has the arm talent to make all the throws. He has a smooth release that allows him to get the ball out quickly, paired with good footwork that helps him throw the ball accurately. Heneghan's arm strength was on full display last year, often throwing off-platform passes with a lot of velocity. His game translates very well to the next level, showcasing his ability to run a spread offense attack. Few quarterbacks in Illinois possess as much talent as Heneghan in the class of 2025. He will be fun to watch this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Noah Vaughn","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"175","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Shepard High School ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6694265ab2d91"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In 2024, Noah Vaughn will transition to Shepard High School from Bremen. He played in a double wing offense last year, so it will be interesting to see how he performs in a more traditional offense. Regardless of the scheme, Vaughn shows a ton of upside as both a passer and a runner. When he takes off, he can really stress the defense if they don't account for his legs. Vaughn's senior year should be a breakout season for him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["299411"],"_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-66942959d1626"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chase Hetflesich is an excellent distributor of the ball. He has a great understanding of both his offense and the defenses he faces. His ability to get the ball out quickly based on pre-snap reads is impressive for a young quarterback. He also displays exceptional ball placement, consistently leading his receivers. Additionally, Hetflesich can tuck the ball away and take off when plays break down, effectively calling his own number. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
