Twitter has him at 170 pounds. 4.0 GPA. Has six single-game cut-ups posted onto his Hudl, all being posted within the last two weeks. Enough to post a freshman-season tape, hope he gets on that as soon as possible. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Took a dive into his work against Penncrest, Bristol, and Upper Darby. Really impressed with some of his reps in support of the run from his OLB position. Can sniff out lead blockers and blow them up to either set edges or force BC's inside. Looking at his build, I'd lean on the 170lbs side rather than the 160, kid is tough. Is being explored on offense, was utilized in a 2pt-conversion attempt that went successful. Likely a future backer/S prospect, one who can produce on offense as well. Going to be an all-conference type player so long as he continues to develop in the weight room. Harriton has a good one. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1338283' first='Ryan' last='Zheng']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"135","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Harriton","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6735c0ed17ca0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Slight frame, common among freshmen of course. Another Harriton freshman providing quality reps early into his career. Has a three-minute tape posted to Hudl. Stout play at boundary corner, has reps in support of the run, has reps covering nines and corner routes downfield. Doesn't look or play apprehensively, not wide-eyed out there, which most freshmen DBs are. Looks comfortable, trust his hips and his catch-up speed. Is a nuisance on special teams, I mean this as a compliment. A kid who is only going to get better. Intrigued if he's an option to work with on the offensive side of the ball as well. That being said, his future is likely at the corner back position. Worth mentioning he can return punts/kicks. Great start to his career. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1272565' first='Mason' last='Marshall-Speights']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"157","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Interboro","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6735c0ed17d31"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">5'8, 160 pounds. has a three-minute freshman tape available on Hudl. A prospect out of Interboro HS in Prospect Park, PA. A young man producing at back for the program, proving he can be of use as a pass-catcher out of the backfield, as well as an inside/outside zone carrier. Hasn't hit many homeruns for Interboro yet, but Marshall-Speights can move for nice chunks of yardage at a time, I'd classify him has a chain-mover right now. Is a threat to score from inside the 20. Does a good job getting skinny and finding lanes between the tackles. Just 157 pounds but runs tough, looks closer to 170-175 based on running style. Excited to see more in the future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://t.co/PiSxYr36UQ">https://t.co/PiSxYr36UQ</a> Freshman season highlights <a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzonePA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzonePA</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/DELCOFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DELCOFootball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachFish1212?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachFish1212</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/IhsFbOfficial?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@IhsFbOfficial</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Preps_247?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Preps_247</a></p>&mdash; Mason Marshall Speights (@masonsp3ights) <a href="https://twitter.com/masonsp3ights/status/1852177029812179304?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 1, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1714966' first='Nick' last='Daino'] ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"153","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Interboro","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6735c0ed17dbe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">4.0 GPA, is a baseball and basketball participant. Working on Interboro's JV squad currently. Not a ton to work with currently, yet enough to land on my radar. I cover D1, D12, and D11 extensively, I'll be on the look out each year to see if Interboro has new recruitable talent, Daino could be one in two years time. Has a couple of catches recorded on tape against Strath Haven, has 30-seconds worth of reps against Chester's varsity team, caught a ball in this contest. Obviously, I have to see a lot more for a future ranking, but for now, Daino will likely end up on our Watchlist. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Some JV Highlights VS.

Not much tape to be had, yet [player_tooltip player_id='1714983' first='Nico' last='DiGiacomo'] is a name we will stash for a later date. Has a 30-yard run to his name on Hudl, yet most of his clips come from middle-school play. It's early, but I have no doubt PJP2 staff can develop young prospects like anyone in the surrounding area. A watchlist name, likely. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1261050' first='Shane' last='Steinmetz']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"130","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Sun Valley","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6735c0ed17ed5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">QB/S player who could turn into a worthy prospect in time. Is an Honor Roll student at Sun Valley. Is small in stature but young of course. I've seen crazier things happen in terms of year-over-end growth. Steinmetz is 5'6, 135 pounds, carries a four-minute freshman tape showcasing his work at QB. These reps coming with daylight (JV). </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Doesn't look too short on tape, he can locate his man downfield, this being a problem for even 5'9-5'10 QBs. At the JV level, this doesn't seem to be an issue. Can work a drop back, can take snaps under center. Works out of several different looks, I see work out of gun 10 personnel, I see work under center in heavy/tight looks via 12/13 personnel. Has to play with anticipation if he wants to prove to coaches he can start on Varsity in the future, does that on the slant at the 00:35 second mark of tape. Tough kid, can run, can sit in the pocket and take hits while attempting to throw downfield. Here's to hoping he can continue growing as a passer this coming offseason, likely a 2028 Watchlist name for the time being. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Check out this video! <a href="https://t.co/J993GirF8q">https://t.co/J993GirF8q</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1261050' first='Shane' last='Steinmetz'] (@S_Steinmetz1109) <a href="https://twitter.com/S_Steinmetz1109/status/1851994266622660875?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 31, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
