Mid-Season Study: PA Future Rankees & New Additions Part 4

<p class="text-gray-700"></p>    <p class="text-gray-700">4.7 GPA grabs my attention immediately. Is a Lacrosse participant at Mt. Lebanon. </p>   <p>McAuley's Hudl has him down at 5'9, 170 pounds. McAuley has a mid-season tape available for study, is about two minutes worth of quality reps. Introduces himself as a multi-positional player, the rest of the tape proves he's a versatile asset the Lebo coaching staff can use at their will. There are off-tackle runs out of gun that he can operate, some really good reps in run support from both SCB and safety alignments. You can continue and see McAuley serve as a pass-catcher underneath 15 yards of the LOS. Looks natural at DB, looks to be playing with his instincts here, that is at safety/SCB. A tackler you can rely on to man the last line of defense, good motor and effort. Not a ton of play-making or explosive plays to be had, yet this looks like a quality junior role player. We'll see if he lands on our ranks.</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/SamMcAuley25/status/1839491373252120814 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Wrestler at Council Rock South. Good size, size that might land him a "tweener" label among college coaches. 6'3, 240 pounds, closer to the EDGE/OLB/TE build than collegiate OL/DL. Still, Trampe is just a junior and could always gain or lose a few pounds to fit whatever mold necessary. </p>   <p>Has several single-game cut-ups. I took the time to check out his Week 5 and 6 tapes, here's to hoping Trampe makes a mid-season tape for coaches to check out moving forward. Left tackle reps start off his tape, he's comfortable aligning in wide splits. Leg drive is sufficient, does a good job mirroring in pass-pro. Mirroring and shadowing in pass-pro is a must if you're on the lighter side of the tackle spectrum. Like initial footwork coming out of his stance. A lot of production coming from wide splits, yet can work down-blocking sets in narrow splits. Impressed by Trampe's ability to bring the work to the defender. He's aggressive in run-blo sets, looking to attack as a blocker, not receive and absorb contact. Same in pass-pro sets, he will drop and kick-back yet deliver a strike/punch with his hands/forearms. Not a bad start to the season at all.</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/MickyTrampe41/status/1840241164881924109 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">6'3, 245 pounds, 3.7 GPA (weighted). recorded 12+ pancakes on the year so far. 2 sacks and 2 TFLs registered through three weeks, so we are dealing with a legitimate two-way prospect. Formerly out of Halifax HS, now at Upper Dauphin. </p>   <p>Has a junior first-three out on Hudl, an extra single-game on Hudl after that as well, detailing his play against Steelton-Highspire. Nothing in the last two weeks, however. First rep on tape has McCartney pulling and delivering a blow with full momentum, this at weak-side guard pre-snap. Next rep has McCartney at right tackle, McCartney shows off a bendy back and hips that sink to absorb a weak rush, this leads to a pancake. Good mover, would love to see him add weight that turns into power, moving to 265 and keeping the movement skills blending with power would make him an automatic send to college coaches. 245 might alert some OL coaches. Fantastic build for a 3-tech projection though. His future might be along a defensive front. McCartney keeps this up he'll have a junior tape loaded with quality reps.</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/mccartneyb_/status/1833950412438921366 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Point guard on the court, can double as a wideout and defensive back. Is just a sophomore yet leads his league in receiving by a ridiculous margin. Through five games, Mount Carmel's [player_tooltip player_id='1508941' first='Jaylen' last='Delaney'] caught 44 balls for 600+ yards and six scores. Fantastic production through the air, the breakdown below will tell you exactly how he's doing it. Delaney has been in on tackles in run support, he's registered an interception which he took back for yet another score. </p>   <p>Delaney's first rep on tape has him streaking open after beating his DB early for a score off a post. The very next rep has Delaney sky for a pick close to the LOS, unreal athleticism, and hand-eye coordination here, this likely his best rep on tape. Delaney shows off a stride that's tough to break in the open field. DBs aren't getting physical with him early on, if he gets a free release and opens up his stride, the kids is going to have his way 20+ yards downfield. If interested in how Delaney works in traffic, he catches a bubble at the LOS that he houses after out-pacing defenders. Awareness is through the roof, smart football player. Would rank pretty high if I were to re-do 2027s today. Can catch the football away from his body. Love some of his PBUs and pass coverage reps on defense too. A lot to unpack, a lot to like.</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/JaylenDelaney6/status/1838234764773339497 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">The second Council Rock South prospect on this list as I begin to learn more about the young kids at the program. 6'0, 210 pounds, combo's as a fullback/defensive end. Guinter has a four-game tape on Hudl, a collection of his best reps from his first four games into his sophomore year. </p>   <p>Said tape begins with Guinter at DE, aligning anywhere between the A-C gaps at times. Majority of reps showcase Guinter standing up his opposing matchup to clog lanes. Guinter can set the edge in run support and force ball carriers to kick the ball inside. Guinter can absorb the brunt of the attack, kid does a good job holding his own despite being on the smaller side in terms of weight. Motor makes him a good clean-up tackler. Offensive reps have Guinter aligned as a FB/H-Back/sniffer hybrid, a role he excels in. A lead blocker candidate, a candidate to pull from weak-side pre-snap alignment too. Really like the job he does sealing off defenders here, a ton of value to be had. The two-minute tape is a solid start to his CRS career. I of course want to see more. I'm excited to see Guinter add quality reps at DE/FB to this tape each week. If he keeps working like this, he'll have a lengthy tape to show off by Week 10. </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/chris_guinter54/status/1840119654921998797 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Hearing good things about sophomore prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1508942' first='Bryce' last='Ryan'] out of Fleetwood HS. 6'2, 200 pounds. 3.7 GPA. Self-identifies as a tight end and DL prospect. </p>   <p>Ryan doesn't have much to offer as far as insight on Twitter. No off-season knowledge to be had, unsure if he's a frequent camper, unsure what he looks like in the weight room. In addition to this, Ryan doesn't have a mid-season tape on Hudl, which is a shame. His teammates speak highly of him, I certainly do not take their words of Ryan lightly. Still, we need to see substantial tape before considering Ryan for our 2027 rankings. Through six weeks of the season, Ryan has just three single-game cut-ups of that I can draw information from. I will say, Ryan's single-game against Schuylkill Valley holds some seriously impressive reps. A couple of great blocks, a couple of TFLs, and edge-setting reps at EDGE. Based on this, I can see why his teammates rave about him. Ryan just has to get as much out there as possible, I have no problem plugging a kid with this type of potential talent. We want to see more.</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/Bryce1Ryan/status/1798885723480686982 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Hudl has Northern York's [player_tooltip player_id='1508943' first='Gabe' last='Johnson'] listed at 5'11, 180 pounds, his Twitter self-lists himself at 5'10, 185 pounds. Production line has him pumping out 600+ yards of offense in five games. Unsure what Johnson did in his sixth game last weekend, however. 100 carries, six touchdowns to boot, Johnson is working as the Northern York tailback. Looks comfortable operating out of 31 personnel, I/T formation sets are a plenty on tape. Also reps with Northen York spreading the football, Johnson caught a wheel 25+ yards downfield, the route was ran with Johnson in the backfield pre-snap.</p>   <p>Patient, Johnson waits for his lanes to open, running behind two full-backs. With three extra blockers between the hashes, Johnson's home-run-hitting ability reveals itself. Lanes are either shut down early or wide enough for Johnson to exploit for big gains, this style of run explains why Johnson's per-carry number is so high. Second-level cuts turn 15-yard gains into 30. Short strider, would love to know if he's a capable backer, has the build for it. His knowledge of gap scheme from offensive sets would likely translate over to the other side of the football. Great early producer, hope he keeps it up.</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/_GabeJohnson3/status/1840188343243382875 </div></figure>
