Mid-Season Stock Risers, PA Prospects Elevating Their Grade Pt. 1

<p class="text-gray-700">Updated measurables and GPA. 6'0|240| 6'3 Wingspan | 4.41GPA</p>   <p>Going on four straight years serving as a two-way starter over at Bishop Canevin. Measurables and tape aside, this is the type of athlete and person you want on your football team, wins find kids like this, I don't say this often. Hard worker on and off the field, a prospect you win because of, not in spite of.</p>   <p>Sudor's mid-season tape is cut in half, one half showcasing his position versatility across the defensive line, the second half showcasing quality reps along the interior of the offensive line. A do-it-all prospect who can shade either side of the center or guard. 240 pounds, I have Sudor projecting to IDL play if D2s/D3s end up giving him a shot. High motor, high energy prospect with a ton of production on tape. I can't keep track of the different alignments and gaps he's accustomed to attacking. Playing over 6 different OL/DL alignments should prove to coaches two things. One, this kid has brains. Two, we can mold him to our liking and he'll be a great piece in emergency situations. However, I want to see more game-breaking out of Sudor before I raise his rank. He's already ranked relatively well among his senior peers.</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/BraidenSudor/status/1838268977732051196 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Bethel Park's [player_tooltip player_id='1131737' first='Mitchell' last='Paschl'] caught my eye earlier in the month. I had him scheduled to write on this week, pleased to double-back and see he's been offered a roster spot by Westminster College out West. His tape and hard work was noticed by much more important people than me. </p>   <p>18 receptions through three weeks, a bit unsure of what Paschl has done since in terms of production. 360+ yards racked up after those 18 catches, seven of them went for scores. Paschl has surpassed all junior production this early into the 2024 season, happy to see colleges trust him despite last year's injury. The all-conference DB only has wideout reps on tape so far which is a bit surprising, yet I'm still inclined to raise him up our ranks while moving his position from ATH to WR. Look for more local D3s to call his line. Excited to turn on more tape before we get to October. Paschl has been a factor as a return man each game, I'd be selling short if I didn't mention that. </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/MitchPaschl/status/1837209457081680073 </div></figure>     <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>15 total tackles, 3 TFLs, 2 receptions, 67 receiving yards - Derry</li> </ul>   <p>I've got the feeling we may have shortchanged [player_tooltip player_id='1054531' first='Sean' last='Selinger'] a bit in terms of ranking. Multiple games with over 15 total tackles, the Freeport backer is well on his way to eclipsing his 66 tackles recorded as a junior. Selinger looks to be reading and reacting a tick quicker, he looks just a tad faster to the football than years past. </p>   <p>Selinger caught two passes for 67 yards in the game against Derry HS in late August, same game he recorded three tackles behind the LOS. Selinger is up ten pounds since we last updated his measurables, yet he's still moving well laterally. Self reports a 3.9 GPA and is a basketball player over at Freeport. Give his tape a look. </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/sean_selinger/status/1836067927130546396 </div></figure>     <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>99 receiving yards, 2 TDs - SJC</li> </ul>   <p>Two scores for the unranked [player_tooltip player_id='386305' first='Rayshawn' last='Scott']. Scott is quietly breaking out, proving he can be a reliable weapon yet being overshadowed by some of the bigger names on roster. Two scores against SJC, two against Malvern Prep, another against AP Randolph while I was in attendance. I got a first-hand look at the jets Scott is working with. </p>   <p>Scott's a great separator post-stem. Once he cuts on his slants, posts, once he opens up his stride after he turns a DBs hips, good luck getting back to his hip if you're a defender. Subtle early in reps, yet can explode once he reads he has open space. Roman Catholic is going to go far this year, that's a given. Watch for Scott to play a pivotal role in the offenses success, especially later in the year. Excited to get him off our WL and rank him beside his senior counterparts.</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/PRZPAvic/status/1832567261980156205 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Had the chance to see the Top200 recruit against York Week 0. He was arguably the best player on the field that night. </p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1165830' first='Santana' last='Young'], now out of Central Dauphin East, has helped his team reach a 4-0 start on the year (unsure about Week 5 result), all while dominating DBs he matches up against. Nearly 600 yards racked up through the air in just four weeks, this coming through 26 receptions, five of which have gone for scores. A play-maker in the open-field, a wideout who can win against press or off coverage. Young is a wideout who is proving he can run almost every route in the route tree, check his tape if you don't believe me. Young is proving he can separate, proving he can catch the football away from his body. Young is checking off many wideout boxes, the senior has tape to back it up now. Some colleges might have concern over measurables, I've witnessed Young win against 6'1 corners attempting to jam him at the line. I've witnessed Young not sway off his path to the football despite being covered at the hip. Give this kid a chance.</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/_tanieyoung/status/1836008682762416155 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Burnett's Week Four tape has him carving up a Northern York defense for about 200 yards on the ground. Burnett recorded a TFL, as well as a kick return for a score on top of his rushing yards. Burnett's sophomore tape had me provide a Division One grade, as Burnett ranked two spots away from the top ten at his position. </p>   <p>Burnett is quiet on socials, yet his Hudl has 3/4 games available to watch early on into the season. Burnett looks comfortable running off-tackle sets out of gun, giving him a half-line read while always keeping a bounce option readily available. Much like years past, Burnett's lateral agility catches my eye. Burnett can reset a DBs feet with one cut toward the sideline. Phenomenal balance, great accelerator, Burnett is looking better than ever through four/five games. I witnessed Burnett barrel through would-be defenders, this coming between the tackles against Waynesboro HS. The Gettysburg back is garnering top ten consideration from myself. </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/prestonagain5/status/1835094008026030481 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Very pleased to be back on the Jy'Aire Walls train. This a young man I'm fond of, I've witnessed him throw the rock in 7v7 and camp settings, always blowing away bystanders watching, including myself. The knock has always been the same, let's wait until we see him on the field. Finally, I can write a piece on Walls with real tape to back-up any preconceived notions. Let's dive in. </p>   <p>Watched Walls's first-four tape, along with single-game cut-ups after Hempfield and Mt. Lebo. Walls completed 50% of passes through his first three weeks, throwing five touchdowns and running for an extra pair as well. Walls' first rep on tape gives you an idea of the arm talent we are working with. Walls rips an easy-read post 35-yards downfield without a hitch. The timing, the effortless flick impresses here. PCC works a lot of ten personnel look, so Walls is comfortable working in a spread system that looks to get it's playmakers in space. Walls second rep on tape is college-worthy ball in my opinion. Walls identifies he has an open man streaking before his target is ahead of the safety. Anticipation here is awesome, ball placement is even better. Walls' throw doesn't break the stride of his wideout, allowing his wideout to pass the safety while tracking the ball for a score. Too many QBs underthrow this football, Walls does not. Walls can throw the fade ball, can hit oppo-hash outs. Love his presence in the pocket, this kid is undeterred by pass-rush, he looks seasoned beyond his years.</p>   <p>We know how difficult things can be for QBs in terms of recruiting. I know colleges are waiting to see Walls in action or on tape to stamp him. I personally have seen enough. AN anticipatory thrower with solid size at the position, a kid who can move, a kid who brings a cerebral approach to the game. If I'm an FCS program recruiting Walls, I'd save a seat for him in the QB room. </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/JyWalls15/status/1832963776926175383 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">12 touchdowns through four weeks, helping his team get to a 4-0 record on the year. I'm a bit out of the loop in terms of Week Five production, yet it's safe to say Gates has been dominating the field on both ends. 260 rushing yards, 475 receiving yards, double-digit touchdowns. Can even throw in a pick six, this enough production through ten games for some prospects. Given a Division One grade this offseason. Gates' tape is proving me right, although the Bishop Guilfoyle senior is currently offered by UVA Wise and Lock Haven. </p>   <p>Plays above his measurables, can box out DBs like he's 210, can sky above DBs for balls like he's 6'2. Can score from 40 yards out, serving as a legitimate vertical threat, can score from pop screens at the LOS. Love how Gates catches the ball away from his body, love the cushion he eats up after his release. This is an FCS prospect, a type of player that would lead a PSAC's recruiting class. I'd raise his already high rank after watching his 2024 tape. </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/Hamiltongates_/status/1835833844051640735 </div></figure>
