That production in a short period of time, plus his physically impressive frame has led to Adrian receiving recruiting attention from several different schools. Adrian currently has offers from Coastal Carolina, Kentucky, Buffalo, and Campbell. Adrian projects as an EDGE prospect on the next level, with a good ability to get off the football and use his speed and quickness to harass quarterbacks on a consistent basis. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1222362"],"_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-66b9453b4d403"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I have covered Mark for the last four years and he has grown into an absolute tackling machine for the Hawks. On the next level he projects best as a strong safety/outside linebacker rover type of player on the next level. Mark currently has offers from Newberry, Catawba, Fayetteville State, Howard, Gardner-Webb, and Campbell. Mark has grown into an on-field leader and also contributes on offense as a running back for the Hawks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1283725"],"_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-66b9453b4d473"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">With 85 tackles, 16 tackles for loss, and six sacks last season - Camden was an extremely productive player last season for the Patriots. Camden showed off his positional versatility as well for the Patriots last season, playing defensive tackle for stretches and showing excellent strength in that position. Camden is abie to shed blocks well in the interior running game and make tackles with excellent overall technique. From a recruiting perspective, Camden has received offers from Charleston and Winston-Salem State </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1357071"],"_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-66b9453b4d4eb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Quenshea played a big role in helping lead the Red Tornadoes to a state championship last season. He piled up 76 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, and 6 sacks in playing an outside linebacker/hybrid EDGE role in their defense. Quenshea currently has an offer from Hampden-Sydney College. Another strong season is imperative if the Red Tornados want to compete to repeat as state champions as they lost a number of important defensive contributors to graduation. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1303813"],"_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-66b9453b4d55a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nick has been one of my favorite players since seeing him live in person last season. He is an incredibly productive middle linebacker with over 110 tackles last season for the Golden Lions and does a great job in slowing down the interior run game. Nick is also a vocal leader for the defense. Nick may be a bit on the smaller side for a linebacker, but I think he can help set the culture for a college on that side of the ball in the next level. Nick also shows good speed in flowing to make tackles and is an excellent form tackler with great technique. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1252773"],"_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-66b9453b4d5c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I was able to see Ryan up close at a showcase this winter where he won an MVP award for his talents he put on display. Ryan being listed as a linebacker leads me to believe he is going to play more of an EDGE role in the Community School of Davidson defensive scheme - Ryan previously played at Pine Lake as more of a defensive lineman. Ryan has an excellent get off and puts pressure on offensive tackles to overset, and Ryan has shown a nice counter move to the speed he shows off the edge to become a pass rush specialist. From a recruiting perspective, Ryan has an offer from Emory &amp; Henry and interest from other schools. 64 tackles, 31 tackles for loss, and 16 sacks - a college may get a steal given his size and natural ability he has put on film so far. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
