His recruitment has started to blow up with multiple division one offers, including an offer from Penn State. Looking at Lehman's film, what stands out is his athleticism. He is so dynamic as an athlete that he can do so many things on the football field. He should continue to play well and get plenty of Division One offers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/Reston_Lehman/status/1840240781925208431">https://twitter.com/Reston_Lehman/status/1840240781925208431</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["647247"],"_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-671853be4a9d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='647247' first='Jamison' last='Yurt'] is such a fundamental player at linebacker for Penn-Trafford. He does a great job of reading and reacting to the play and attacking upfield. He does an excellent job of reading his keys and attacking downhill. Then he is a good tackler, especially in the open field. I love the way he plays as a linebacker, constantly chasing down plays all over the field. He is a good player who makes a ton of plays all over the field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Jamison_Yurt/status/1839498732326310178","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Jamison_Yurt/status/1839498732326310178 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["646782"],"_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-671853be4aa14"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='646782' first='Joseph' last='Work'] transferred from Central Valley to Aliquippa. Work is a good outside linebacker prospect. He does a great job of setting the edge. Any play runs towards his side, he either makes the tackle or forces it inside. Then, when it comes his way, he is a good tackler in the open field. He also shows a motor that never stops as he constantly is chasing plays downfield. Work is a good linebacker prospect who has the potential to play at an even higher level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/JosephWork27/status/1838615763718148493">https://twitter.com/JosephWork27/status/1838615763718148493</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1156141"],"_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-671853be4aa6e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1156141' first='Austin' last='Schane'] is a good athlete that South Allegheny uses in a variety of roles. At linebacker, he does a good job of reading his keys and attacking downhill. He shows a good ability to attack downhill and make plays as a defensive player. On offense, he shows his athletic ability by playing as both a running back and as a wide receiver. At running back he does a nice job of being a lead blocker. He also showed the ability to catch the ball at wide receiver. Schane is a good athlete and shows it on both sides of the ball </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["602062"],"_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-671853be4aaaf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='602062' first='Braden' last='Anderson'] is a good linebacker for Kiski. He has excellent instincts and does a nice job of coming downhill and making plays against opposing offenses. He is especially good in the run game. He reads the play, gets through the wash, and fills gaps well. Anything between the tackles he usually makes tackles on. Then he is also a good Blitzer that you can send on different angles to create pressure against the offense. Anderson has a ton of tools of an elite linebacker. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/banderson11_/status/1843094262793253167">https://twitter.com/banderson11_/status/1843094262793253167</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1182880"],"_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-671853be4ab67"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1182880' first='Joey' last='Lutz'] plays at a high level as a linebacker for North Hills. In North Hills' odd front defense, Lutz does a good job of reading his keys and attacking downhill. In this type of defense, you usually bring one blitzer, and Lutz shows a good feel for this type of scheme. He has good instincts as a blitzer and attacks the offense well. He has a great feel for how to find the opening against the offense and then attack that spot. Lutz is a good linebacker prospect who makes a ton of plays. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/JoeyLutz10/status/1837992989202714677">https://twitter.com/JoeyLutz10/status/1837992989202714677</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
