Freshmen Making an Early Impression

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Class of 2028 already have our attention. We have kids already showing elite size, mobility, and body control. There are some impressively big and strong linemen on both sides of the ball showing superior traits. The skill positions are also looking like there are a stable of impressive names to know. As always, Prep Redzone WI is here to help identify the need to know prospects in this Class. Let's dive in!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1288210"],"_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-66f99ca454992"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tre instantly grabs your attention from his physical gifts. He is already 6'4" 195 lbs and looking impressive out at WR/TE on Brookfield East's JV/C team. The freshman knows how to use that size to his advantage. He easily high points the ball over his opponents and already is a massive advantage in the redzone. The big fella can cover ground well with his long strides. The body control and balance at that size is not easy to develop, but it is there for Tre and he is showing it on things like double moves while route running. Oiler is going to be a kid we watch and talk about often over these next 4 years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1287562"],"_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-66f99ca4549e3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Class of 2028 might be the best early collection of QB talent that I have seen in my years with PRZ WI. One of the athletes making it so special is Catholic Memorial's freshman QB [player_tooltip player_id='1287562' first='Dalton' last='Steinke']. Dalton possesses quick feet that allow his to set quickly, slide in the pocket or scramble then fire the ball out. As a passer, Dalton has excellent accuracy to all levels of the field, from the pocket, and on the move. His mechanics are consistent, which is key to the constant accuracy. Dalton also has the arm to push the ball downfield already and should continue to get better and better as he grows and gets stronger overall. Catholic Memorial will be in good hands in the coming years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1288244"],"_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-66f99ca454a23"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The RB out of Kenosha Bradford is looking really good vs his peers at the lower level. He plays with hard to find patience and vision. Gahari is able to find the alleys and hit them with solid speed to beat the pursuit of LBs. Barnes' contact balance and ability to fight off tackle attempts jumps off the tape too. He is a strong runner with a low center of gravity. It's very exciting because those strength traits will only get more impressive as he grows from his current 160 lbs. Gahari is a playmaker out of the backfield. No doubt about that. We will be watching him closely.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1093665"],"_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-66f99ca454a60"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another impressive RB is Kettle Moraine's [player_tooltip player_id='1093665' first='Dago' last='Valdez']. The freshman is only 5'7" 145 lbs but he is taking over some games at the JV/C level because of his game-breaking speed. When he gets a seam Dago is able to accelerate quickly to get to the open field and from there you can bet he is going to beat the pursuit angles downfield. I'm excited to see more highlights come out from Dago in the second half of the season. He is a playmaker with the ball in his hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
