Just like the other articles in this series, there will only be one prospect per team. This group has some guys where lack of information leads to pretty limited evals, considering some of these guys don't have a lot of tapes – a lot of them will likely end up on the WL as I need to see some more before I label them as prospects, they, for the most part, sit around the D3 range based on some limited JR tape but could grow into something more as prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["735867"],"_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-67aad99a4e503"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Big Interior Offensive Line prospect in first year of varsity tape. Plays defensive tackle as well but projects more as an OL - solid size and build, bigger upper body, and strong hands. Plays with solid motor, is Strong enough to hold his ground, and is not a true anchor but stands and stalemates defensive tackles. Flashes some movement skills defensively coming off blocks, but I still think there is a better upside at OL where strength can move guys. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1621436"],"_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-67aad99a4e569"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Multi-Year starter on varsity, he plays DT - a little undersized to a nose tackle but has some great reps lined up as 5-tech and even further outside. He has solid gets upfield, a strong initial punch, plays with a good motor, and consistently fights with his hands; he shows solid pad level and the ability to finish RBs 1v1. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Quick and twitchy enough to be a DE at the next level, will need to get bigger/stronger, but already shows some natural power on tape.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1562338"],"_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-67aad99a4e5b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">DE/DT for John Adams, I think he will have to be a full-time DT at the next level, He is a shorter prospect but plays with a great motor, moves well off the edge, and has active hands. Shows good quickness and twitch for 275lbs. He is one of those big guys whose body type needs development, but he has athleticism on tape. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1621437"],"_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-67aad99a4e5f9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Very limited tape (2 Clips) however, I saw him live this year, and there is some potential to work with. Any prospect that is 6'7 will stand out; his tape is at DE, where, with his length, he wraps guys up well and actually can get pretty low, only things you really see. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In-person, he moved well, and there is some TE upside. He is a player that I will follow along with during senior year, a late bloomer who needs to grow into his body. There are not many 6'7 prospects out there, so it is worth noting. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["820006"],"_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-67aad99a4e63d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He plays RB/DB and can play some WR - solid athlete, but still can grow into his body - team performance was poor. He was clearly their best offensive player on tape. He will stick on the WL in the rankings update because we need to see more, but he is a player with solid measurables and athleticism. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1621441"],"_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-67aad99a4e682"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the bigger JR OL prospects in Queens, Ocampo is a solid athlete who was LIC's best blocker on tape; he tends to play a bit high but stays square and has active hands. He Plays OT and will likely move inside to an IOL position at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1358859"],"_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-67aad99a4e6c6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Undersized CB will likely be more of a slot CB - willing tackler and does a good job of fighting off blocks in space. Shows some quickness and twitch to his movements, not a ton of coverage reps, but a couple of reps that show fluid hips. He does show some versatility in where he lines up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
