My admiration of his film begins and ends with how he takes on double teams - a skill I do not often see put on film. Robinson stay slow throughout the play to avoid getting displaced and uses his hands extremely well to maintain his gap integrity and shed. What makes him effective is that he consistently gets hands on his opponent and has shown to fight. half-man leverage. Once the block his shed, Robinson is on the prowl, hustling and pursuing extremely well. We also see him shed blocks with finesse at times, spinning out of them without losing much ground. Robinson alternates between the interior and exterior of the line, showing versatility. Lastly, he is a forceful tackler.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1173219"],"_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-678fcea2e1ca1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Although I am unsure whether or not [player_tooltip player_id='1173219' first='Kamari' last='Brown']'s tape was from varsity or not, we see that he has an advanced skillset for his age. Brown is capable of setting an edge and tackles low, wrapping ankles when necessary. What I enjoy most about his game is how Brown executes the rip move, doing so with an exaggerated motion as his arm violently travels from low to high, continuing so until he has his matchup's leverage working upward. Blessed with size, Brown wins many matchups off of the strength of his God-given physical stature. Brown will evolve to dominate every down as he gets his body working upwards and comes out of his hips. Given his size his first step/get off could improve some, but I want to see him aggressively blow up trappers when the come at him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1281541"],"_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-678fcea2e1cec"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1281541' first='Kane' last='Romas'] is a linebacker that I really enjoyed watching. His athleticism allows his defense to play in a 2-high shell rather than roll a safety down against twins. As Romas roams, you can see he moves well and has the ball skills to match. As a running back he trusts his athleticism and is, perhaps, overly disciplined when running his track as we see him bump into the backs of his blockers at moments. Although I personally think his future is at linebacker, as he gets more reps his vision will improve. One area where he does not need his vision to improve is at linebacker. He absolutely flies up on the break of the ball. Trust Romas in space: he can make plays in the open field. A player who gets around the field, my official count as to how many picks he had on film was seven.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Class of 2028 Rankings Release</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/2028-rankings-update-scouts-notes-for-players-114-101">Ranking Notes, Player #114-101</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/2028-rankings-update-scouts-notes-for-players-100-91">Ranking Notes, Player #100-91</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/2028-rankings-update-scouts-notes-for-players-90-89">Ranking Notes, Player #90-81</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/2028-rankings-update-scouts-notes-for-players-80-71">Ranking Notes, Player #80-71</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/2028-rankings-update-scouts-notes-for-players-70-61">Ranking Notes, Player #70-6</a>1<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/2028-rankings-update-scouts-notes-for-players-60-51/">Ranking Notes, Player #60-51</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/2028-rankings-update-scouts-notes-for-players-50-41">Ranking Notes, Player #50-41</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/2028-rankings-update-scouts-notes-for-players-40-31/">Ranking Notes, Player #40-31</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/2028-rankings-update-scouts-notes-for-players-30-21">Ranking Notes, Player #30-21</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/2028-rankings-update-scouts-notes-for-players-20-11">Ranking Notes, Player #20-11</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/2028-rankings-update-scouts-notes-for-players-10-6">Ranking Notes, Player #10-6</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/2028-rankings-update-scouts-notes-for-players-5-1">Ranking Notes, Player #5-1</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/watchlist-wonders-prospects-i-demand-film-on-2028-rankings-i">Watchlist Prospects of Note, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/watchlist-wonders-prospects-i-demand-film-on-2028-rankings-ii">Watchlist Prospects of Note, Part II</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/favorite-films-tape-that-impressed-me-2028-rankings-part-i">My Favorite Films, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/favorite-films-tape-that-impressed-me-2028-rankings-part-ii">My Favorite Films, Part II</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/favorite-films-tape-that-impressed-me-2028-rankings-part-iii">My Favorite Films, Part III</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/favorite-films-tape-that-impressed-me-2028-rankings-part-iv">My Favorite Films, Part IV</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/favorite-films-tape-that-impressed-me-2028-rankings-part-iv">My Favorite Films, Part V</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
