He takes the game seriously and <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/08/przva-team-preview-monticello-mustangs/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">plays for a coach</a> that understands the importance of the long snapping position and puts emphasis on Vaughn's technique. He has what it takes to play at the next level and excels in <a href="https://x.com/MHSMustangfball/status/1839290107397918774" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">academics</a>. Anyone looking for a long snapper should have Vaughn on the radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18245151/Vaughn-Conlon" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/VaughnConlon" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18245151/670c286d202b8296d034df30' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66fab3ee1c4aa"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1370465"],"_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-6703337340cd0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Frankie is another very good long snapper that you should know. He is accurate and quick in his snaps on both punt and kicking reps. He is a leader on and off the field, serving as a team captain for Freedom this season and boasts a 4.06 GPA in the classroom. Also plays on the <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/09/offensive-and-defensive-linemen-making-their-marks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">offensive and defensive line</a> and is a dual-sport athlete playing First Base and Pitcher in Baseball. He is class of 2026, so we will see Frankie back on the field next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16518468/Frankie-DAmico" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/DAmicoFrankie66" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em> <em>/ <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@frankiejdamico/featured" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">YouTube</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/DAmicoFrankie66/status/1840386539995439596","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/DAmicoFrankie66/status/1840386539995439596 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1322235"],"_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-66fab3ee1c505"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Logan is off to a strong start on the year. Based on his mid-season highlights video below, he is averaging 65.5 yards per kick on kickoffs, 100% on PATs, and 1/2 on Field Goals with one being blocked. His film also shows his punting being good this season as well. He has what it takes to kick at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16475590/Logan-Lopez" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/Logans_lopez16" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a> / <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Logan_Lopez16" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">YouTube</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://youtu.be/0fD6uUWQypo?si=WqKYs_khkwjAYXcZ","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtu.be/0fD6uUWQypo?si=WqKYs_khkwjAYXcZ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1322230"],"_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-670d5bec5e39e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There is not an updated mid-season highlight for Tim, but I was able to see Tim kick live a few weeks ago at the <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/10/st-annes-belfield-vs-blue-ridge-game-report/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">St. Anne's Belfield game</a> I attended. Tim has a big leg as evidenced on his punting game. He did not get the chance to attempt a field goal or PAT, but I could tell he has the leg, and his kickoffs go for touchbacks. You can see in the video below from a different game this year his field goal and kickoff reps.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19505541/tim-hamann" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/TimHamannKicker" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19505541/66f721a4c65e56648f63ac28' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-670d5bec5e3c1"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1529276"],"_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-670d5bec5e3fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A freshman who is kicking for Madison County's JV team is off to a strong start as you can see in the linked X post below. Showing a strong leg with his field goals and punts, and we will see him get stronger over the next few seasons.

As of September 23, he was 8/8 on PATs and 1/1 on field goals. EC Glass plays in one of the toughest districts in central Virginia and will finish out with four big games starting this Friday versus Jefferson Forest. Will's consistency can play a big part in putting points on the board for his team. Be sure to keep him on your radar for the remainder of this season and next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17975096/Will-Pacot" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/willpacotECG" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17975096/66f16dc9a9609024e3584a7a' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-670d5bec5e456"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Click&nbsp;<a href="https://prepredzone.com/prospect-index/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>&nbsp;to claim your Prep Redzone Prospect Index profile.<br>Follow me on Twitter&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/GoLions1934" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@GoLions1934</a>&nbsp;for further content |&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzoneVA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@PrepRedzoneVA</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/PrepRedzone" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@PrepRedzone</a>&nbsp;| Virginia Scout&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/carljfred" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@carljfred</a></em>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<em>View my previous Prep Redzone articles&nbsp;<a href="https://prepredzone.com/author/cole-laing-author/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
