<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>As the 2024 football season approaches, I would like to highlight several under-the-radar players who possess significant talent and have the potential to play at the collegiate level.

In 8 games last season, he registered 36 tackles, 2 sacks, and 2 INTs! Schwartz is always attacking downfield with speed and does a good job blitzing. He's very effective in coverage and shows the ability to drop his hips and accelerate to the ball. He's good in space and a really good open-field tackler. He's a smart player and has a 3.85 GPA..</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Film: </em></strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17650163/Hudson-Schwartz">https://www.hudl.com/profile/17650163/Hudson-Schwartz</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1403768' first='Luke' last='Pastis'], LB/FB- Edgewater High c/o 26</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>6'2 225lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Pastis is a player who should be on college coaches' radars this season.

He demonstrates good footwork for someone his size. He places his hands inside and anchors while showing a mean streak to finish blocks. His pass protection is good, and he does a good job mirroring rushers. He effectively uses his long arms to catch blockers and redirect them. In my opinion, Long will garner some Division 1 interest just by size alone by season's end.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Film: </em></strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16022182/Ryan-Long">https://www.hudl.com/profile/16022182/Ryan-Long</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
