PRZCJs Notebook: Who Impressed Me in Week 7?

Week 7 top performers consist of record-breaking teammates and a set of brothers who helped lead an upset victory, among other usual top performers.    [player_tooltip player_id='1544914' first='Graham' last='Burmeister'] was extremely efficient and smooth in a career-best outing against Creekview, leading Woodstock to an upset victory. Burmeister completed 14 of his 19 passes for over 300 yards and 3 TDs. There is a lot to like on tape. He is calm in the pocket and has enough athleticism to scamper away from chaos. Doesn't have the strongest arm, but he has a quick release and throws a tight spiral. He can manipulate touch, allowing him to layer throws into the intermediate areas of the field and over safeties, which is what he was able to do against Creekview. Burmeister is a gamer and looks to be a clean operator from the neck up. He is a breakout QB in the 2027 class and is leading Woodstock to their best season in years.     [player_tooltip player_id='1570118' first='Drew' last='Burmeister'] was all over the field for Woodstock on Saturday. It was a season-best receiving performance, hauling in 5 catches for 125 yards and a TD, while also playing well on defense. He frequently got the ball in the flats, where he proved difficult to bring down in the open field. He is big and explosive, allowing him to shed off tacklers once he gets going. He flashed solid hands as well, making catches in a crowd and reeling in a one-handed catch on the sidelines. He frequently penetrated the backfield as a defender and made life difficult on the passing game. Burmeister is committed to Columbia, where it looks like he will play LB.     It was an unbelievable performance for [player_tooltip player_id='1090758' first='Demetrius' last='Dowdy'] against Habersham Central, rushing for a school-record 347 yards while punching in 5 TDs. As you can imagine, he was unstoppable. He played with outstanding patience and frequently made his way through openings without being touched. He was too athletic and slippery to be caught, but it was his vision that helped him play well, frequently locating and taking advantage of cut-back lanes. Dowdy already has D1 offers under his belt, but his record-breaking performance raised his stock even more. Hats off to his offensive line, as they played at an elite level.     [player_tooltip player_id='1258730' first='Dre' last='Quinn'] is a super active and athletic edge defender who flashed against Dawson County. Quinn is long, lanky, and athletic. He spends most of his time with his hand in the dirt, but appears athletic enough to play in space, projecting him long-term as an OLB. Quinn's quick first step allows him to penetrate up front and keep his chest clean of blockers. He played well against the run against Dawson County, settling down and shadowing the ball carrier before using his large tackling radius to make a play. Quinn clearly has the bend and speed profile to win as a pass rusher consistently, but he made his mark known in the passing game by getting his long arms up to bat down and deflect several passes. Quinn has several FBS offers under his belt. He is long, athletic, and is an active tackler. Not to mention, there is plenty of physical upside left.     [player_tooltip player_id='1284323' first='Wyatt' last='Tash'] is a stock-up player who continues to get better as time goes on. He has taken massive physical strides this year, currently playing with the most muscle mass in his career. Colleges will be intrigued with what he has to offer as a blocker, and for good reason. He is strong and has enough drive to displace defenders, even defensive tackles and ends. He is a bowling ball in the open field once the ball is in his hand. He is extremely hard to tackle and often requires several defenders to bring him down. Tash will land at a smaller-school, where he has the chance to contribute immediately.     RJ Knapp III was prolific in a blowout victory over Alcovy, totaling 6 TDs on the day. Knapp is a multi-sport athlete, doubling as a basketball player. He flashes some athleticism in the open field, making defenders miss and playing with decent contact balance. He is a smooth lefty as a passer and is capable of making off-platform throws. He plays with good timing, giving his receivers space to run after the catch. Knapp is in the midst of a breakout season and is someone to watch as his junior year rolls on.     It was an absolutely incredible performance for Matthew Greiner against Habersham Central, breaking a school record with 7 single-game sacks. Greiner has good size at 6'3 230, playing with functional play strength. Greiner played with excellent patience, sealing the edge with his power. He drove blockers onto their heels consistently, making it easier for him to slip off and shed blocks. As his historic night rolled on, he played with more and more energy. He violently pursued the football and had a motor running hot. At his best, Greiner is unblockable, and he proved that with a rare performance.
