PRZNJ Stock Up Showcase: 4 Offensive Prospects I'm Pumped to See

<p>The offseason is here and event season as begun! Moreover, camp season has started. Prep Redzone kicks off the offseason camp circuit with our Stock Up Showcase Tour. At this event seniors will have one of their last opportunities to perform in front of college coaches and underclassmen begin their pursuit of excellence. </p>   <p>Below are a few attendees that I am looking forward to seeing perform. </p>    <p>Kingsway is a South Jersey team that is always in the mix and a threat, no matter how the bracket shakes out. [player_tooltip player_id='501876' first='David' last='Oravetz'] is their quarterback and does a nice job of running their offense. Oravetz is well disciplined in the fact that he carries out his fakes with fidelity. Cousins of the same cloth, Oravetz has shown that he is able to make correct RPO and run options reads - making himself a 3-way threat. His vision with the ball is strong, finding and hitting the designed hole well. I would describe his throws as ones that are never compromise his receivers and placed in spots where only his teammates can make a play on it. Lastly, we see instances and glimmers where Oravetz steps up and moves around in the pocket while keeping his eyes downfield.</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/david_oravetz </div></figure>     <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1529344' first='Jacob' last='Pappas']' performance this last season was something of a surprise - not due to his ability, but the fact that St. Joseph's Head Coach Bill Tracy's offense evolved from a traditional Wing-T to more of a pass-first offense that showcased Pappas' skills.</p>   <p>What the tape shows us is that Pappas' route running can be video game-esque at times in terms of how tight and technical it can be. However, what might be his best ability is to find open space when the ball in his hands. Multiple times we see Pappas side-step over-pursing defenders as he cuts across the grain to reverse field. In the process, he does an exceedingly well job setting up his blockers. Similarly, Pappas is able to make a man miss in the open field when the square him up. I would describe his speed as deceptive, as he is prone to getting behind defenders. He also manages to get past them with hard jab and stutter steps that allow him to execute double-moves.</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/JacobP23648/status/1848548294693142961 </div></figure>     <p>Anytime a freshman gets significant burn on varsity, chases are that his future prospects are strong. [player_tooltip player_id='1295599' first='Kenneth' last='Sharperson'] is a prime example of that. What we see on film from the talented running back is that once he is at a full stop, he can reach top seed quickly and burst through the secondary. Furthermore, the stout running back has a good center of gravity and can absorb high hits and keep running. At moments Sharperson shows instances of his shiftiness and can carry weaker tacklers on his back for additional yardage.</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/Ksharp27/status/1850007465426882951 </div></figure>     <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1571992' first='CJ' last='Griffith'] had some monster games this last season as the fullback in Ridge's Wing-T offense. We see that he uses the stiff arm for both balance and to evade pile-ups in his path. Better than your typical fullback, Griffith has shown that he can outrun some linebackers to the perimeter when given a toss. In close quarters he uses the jump cut to gain a few extra yards, while also showing he can set up his blockers to spring loose. Of the upmost importance in a Wing-T offense, Griffith has shown loyalty to his track, running it and trusting where the play is designed to hit.</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/CJGriffith17/status/1846014004449435930 </div></figure>
