<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On Thursday we released our Market Correction Update for the class of 2026 which includes the Massive Stock Risers!  These are prospects we didn't want to wait to go through the entire film evaluation process before giving them the big jumps they deserve.  Here are a few of those prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1417782"],"_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-6776ca2a9ba0b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mpouma jumped up from #65 to #3 overall.  That is a massive boost for a MASSIVE human!  Mpouma had never played football until this year and with one game played he had already reeled in double digit offers.  Ideal left tackle with his size for position, length, and elite footwork.  He is still just learning the game, but he already possesses great pass pro skills and is a mauler in the run game!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401596"],"_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-6776ca2a9ba6d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Wheaton St. Francis QB made a jump in the rankings with a big junior campaign.  At 6'2” he has good pocket presence, arm strength, and clean mechanics.  Quick and decisive passer that is willing to take the easy throw to put his weapons in positions to succeed.  Can also run when the play breaks down with creativity for first downs or scores.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["801701"],"_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-6776ca2a9bad3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rulo is a prospect we got to see up close and in person twice last season and he impressed against a pair of state champions in Althoff and East St. Louis.  Strong defensive tackle that consistently gets pressure in the face of the quarterback.  Uses his quickness and power combination of overwhelm interior offensive lineman.  Good use of hands rushing along with getting off blocks where he is a force in the run game clogging the middle of the defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["279386"],"_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-6776ca2a9bb18"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This defensive back from Fenwick had nice moments in the two games we saw him play this season.  He breaks on the ball well flying to it with burst.  Solid tackler that wraps up down low and is a good tackler in the run game.  Nice combination of coverage skills and run support at the safety spot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401606"],"_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-6776ca2a9bb59"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">What jumps off the field about Kelly to us is the versatility that he brings being able to line up as an offensive weapon all over the field.  Slot receiver or running back is probably where he suits best.  Soft hands catching passes and is a crisp route runner.  Solid out of the backfield carrying the ball making quick cuts and using power when he has too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["801988"],"_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-6776ca2a9bb95"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Irps is a linebacker that makes plays in the backfield.  He has great instincts and is quick hitting the hole in between the offensive line and making plays.  Technically sound player that impacts with his physicality and explosiveness.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

On Thursday we released our Market Correction Update for the class of 2026 which includes the Massive Stock Risers!  These are prospects we didn't want to wait to go through the entire film evaluation process before giving them the big jumps they deserve.  Here are a few of those prospects.
