Excited to see the young man play live for the first time, the 2x All-State QB will be ready to go in a title bout against Troy on Friday afternoon. 6'0, 195 pounds. Ranked as a top 15 quarterback among all PA seniors. Offered by Clarion back in April, also offered by Grove City and Waynesburg after the stamp from the PSAC program. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats through October 21st*</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>38 Passing touchdowns, an additional 8 scores on the ground. 2,360 passing yards, another 700 rushing yards to eclipse 3k scrimmage threshold. Completed a ridiculous 75% of his passes, caught five interceptions from his DB spot as well. None of this takes into account his stellar play throughout the 2024 post-season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An incredible offensive improviser, a kid who can turn bad situations favorable in a flash. A threat to create with his feet in scheduled runs or when plays break down. Not enough credit given his way for the type of pure athlete he is. Ferguson can make LBs/DBs miss in open space like a back, all while possessing the mental fortitude to make good decisions like the captain quarterback that he is. Tough as nails, doesn't shy away from contact. Can operate out of heavy and spread sets. Can house direct snaps from anywhere on the field. Carries a college-ready build, the young man works on his body and it shows on the field. Has a rocket arm attached to his shoulders. Everything isn't consistently clean in the pocket, Ferguson has footwork, mech, and release issues to clean up, yet the kid can stretch the field in a flash if you let him. Deep ball range exceeds 50+ yards. Sees downfield well, sees the middle of the field well too. Ferguson's tape has him ripping posts easily. If Troy doesn't make Ferguson's life hell in the pocket, he can easily sit back and tear up a secondary, especially in 2A ball. A nightmarish two-way dominator who is ready to show off this coming Friday in front of fans and media. Excited to see what Ferguson has in store. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">⭐️8 games played ⭐️<br>2360 passing yds🏹<br>75% completion 🎯<br>38 passing tds 🏈<br>147.1 qb rating 💯<br>56 carries 🏃‍♂️<br>686 rushing yards 🏎️<br>12.3 yds/carry🏟️<br>8 rushing tds ⚡️<br>5 defensive ints🔒<a href="https://twitter.com/coachmhagans?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@coachmhagans</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/RaymondMonica3?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RaymondMonica3</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/MarkSpeckman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MarkSpeckman</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachDurish?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachDurish</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachDiDonato?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachDiDonato</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachBBrest?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachBBrest</a>… <a href="https://t.co/5gBOBtuIMy">pic.twitter.com/5gBOBtuIMy</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='769138' first='Jase' last='Ferguson'] (@jase_ferguson1) <a href="https://twitter.com/jase_ferguson1/status/1848432994903855365?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 21, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1317122"],"_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-674e3775e27a6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The highest-ranking recruit in this football game.

A one-on-one winner and one violent finisher. Stationed at right tackle, a tackle in which backs and Jace Ferguson can work off. Great momentum created off the snap, can shock opposing defenders an steer them out of gaps. I'm used to seeing 275-pound linemen this far displaced from the LOS, rare you see a lineman of this mass consistently taking out the trash 10-15 yards away from the ball. A wing-span that stretches far across his chest. A phenomenal on-the-go locator. A tackle prospect who can double as a right/left tackle. Projects as a future collegiate guard at Army, could be a right tackle prospect at the FCS programs actively recruiting him.

Beckwith's mid-season tape wasn't long enough to meet our ranking criteria, the reason Beckwith was left off our lists. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the past week, Beckwith posted two separate four-minute tapes, each showing off Beckwith's prowess at TE and linebacker. These tapes haven't been posted to Twitter where coaches can see them. Troy is going to have to need an answer for Beckwith's blitzing capabilities. A great snap-timer, a kid who can build north/south momentum without many steps. A ferocious finisher, a blitzing MIKE backer who can blow up pulling guards or lead-blocking FBs/H-Backs. A quick twitch backer who is tough to square up on. I witnessed numerous blockers have Beckwith dead to rights in the open space, only for Beckwith to explode laterally and use his hands to win against blockers. An offerable prospect today, just think he needs to do a better job getting his tape out there. This kid can play. Tack on his reps at TE and you'll have a well-ranked individual holding down the Central Clarion pivotal positions on both sides of the ball. If you need further proof of Beckwith's mentality, tenacity, and toughness, just take a look at a few of his impact blocks at TE. </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":"Peyton Ward","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"305","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Central Clarion","_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-674e3775e2ac8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Plenty of single-game cut-ups out of Central Clarion's Peyton Ward, yet no mid-season or end-of-season highlight tape available on Hudl.

Uckert doesn't have tape up on Hudl so I won't dive into his capabilities much further. That being said, local media outlets have put out clips via X of Uckert hitting with for distance with power behind his legs.

I always second-guess self-reported 40 times, yet I can envision a world where Burford runs a sub 4.6 based on how he can get open downfield. I want to dive deeper into his tape at a later date, I think the young man could flirt with the idea of obtaining FCS interest.

Hindman is going to land on our ranks with tape like this, especially if his measurables hold true. 6'1, 270, this could be a name PSACs look at this time next year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Highlights from round 2 of state playoffs vs Cambria heights <br>5 tackles <br>2 tfl<br>1 forced fumble <a href="https://t.co/U8Bxh3rfqc">https://t.co/U8Bxh3rfqc</a></p>&mdash; Hayden Hindman (@haydenhindman58) <a href="https://twitter.com/haydenhindman58/status/1861392065055150306?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 26, 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":"Brendan Bracken","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"200","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Central Clarion","_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-674e3775e3089"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">6'0, 200 pounds. A glue piece inside this offensive line unit. A sophomore who doesn't boasts some of the gaudy weight numbers Hindman, Kerr and Ward show off, each of which carry weights of 270, 300, and 320 respectively. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brendan Bracken serves as Central Clarion's center. Not every day you see a sophomore capable of manning such a crucial position, let alone on a State Title contending team. Vice grips for hands, his grip strength and steering ability certainly don't match his height/weight, Bracken flattens kids as if he were carrying 250. The young man could easily put on good weight and be a future factor on the defensive side of the football. This potentially being icing on the cake that is his play at center. Bracken could likely serve as an emergency guard, this based on how he handles interior run stuffers across from him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Week 9<br>6&#039;0<br>200Ibs<br>9-0<br>55-0<a href="https://twitter.com/CentralClarion?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CentralClarion</a><a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_Egg57?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_Egg57</a><a href="https://t.co/VlOnjJbz6M">https://t.co/VlOnjJbz6M</a></p>&mdash; Brendan Bracken (@bsbracken62) <a href="https://twitter.com/bsbracken62/status/1848176266538578095?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 21, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
