He's worked hard to get back into the position to be able to come out and compete this offseason. He showed off his blend of get-off, athleticism, and power. At 6'3 290 pounds he has the ability to shoot to get skinny and shoot the gap, but he also has the strength to bully the blocker into the backfield. It's easy to see why he has MAC offers and is getting P4 interest from the likes of Missouri, Pitt, and Indiana. I'd be surprised if some of that P4 interest didn't turn into offers this offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1594486"],"_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-677df61d4bf25"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Morano was one of the younger defensive linemen in attendance, but when it came to his play, he definitely held his own versus older more experienced offensive linemen. He lined up at the defensive end position. Nicholas showed off an explosive get-off. His first choice is to use his speed to get to the edge. He has the athleticism to crossover, dip and get inside. Even though he was at a size disadvantage he showed the play strength to take on the bigger competition. Morano is definitely one to keep an eye on in the future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1590474"],"_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-677df61d4bf95"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coming off a strong junior season at Wyoming Crittenden was a player I was excited to see. I don't have the height and weight measurements yet, but physically he looked the part. Chase does a nice job of using his length and long-arming defenders and then shedding to beat blockers. If he can continue to get stronger and more violent with his hands, he should be in for a strong camp season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1467333"],"_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-677df61d4bffb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The junior from Copley high school in Akron was another player I was looking forward to seeing perform on the day. Crook showed off a solid burst off the ball. He plays with heavy hands and a strong bull rush that he uses to bully blockers into the backfield. Donovan is not just all power though, he's a sneaky athlete who can also pursue from the backside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1587980"],"_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-677df61d4c05f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The defensive end from Buckeye Valley had an impressive showing on the day. He showed off a strong blend of power and explosiveness for his size. He favors the bull rush or the inside gap. After winning off the ball he capitalizes on his length by locking out his long arms and standing up the blocker. For his size he does a good job of staying low and compact so as not to give the blocker a good area to strike. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
