Jack missed the first 3 games of the season due to injury but that didn't slow him down. He finished as the South Shore League Sullivan Division MVP and all-star as well as a Boston Herald All-Scholastic. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jack can beat you through the air or with his legs. He rushed for over 1000 yards and 21 tds, while accounting for 552 pass yards and 6 tds. Jack has an impressive skill set and is a multisport athlete. He has the size, speed and strength to be a high-level skill prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19975174/674a40e9c61a256d98482bf4' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6786c678758fb"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1060405"],"_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-6786c6787594b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zach had a strong fall 2024 season for Manchester Essex. He is another impressive athlete at the QB position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Zach shows good arm strength and will take shots throwing the ball down the field. He does a nice job of throwing the ball accurately when outside the pocket. Zach also has the mobility and athleticism to create big plays on the ground. Overall, I really like Hurd's skill set. I believe if he continues to work on his footwork and throwing mechanics he will be a college prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17815495/6749c3d881389f62edd88fdb' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6786c67875970"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1601662"],"_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-6786c67875a0e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Connor was named a Boston Globe honorable mention after a productive 2024 season accounting for 90 tackles and 16 TFL's.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Connor is a bit undersized at linebacker but he makes up for it with his toughness and physical play. On film, it is clear that he is a fast processor and can make quick decisions. He shoots through open gaps and makes a ton of plays behind the line of scrimmage. Connor is a very reliable tackler in the box and in space.
