Joseph is a good athlete who moves well. During the position drills, he did a good job doing all the drills and getting in and out of breaks. He also did a nice job in the one-on-one competition phase of the showcase. I came away impressed with his ability as a linebacker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1352741"],"_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-67a16f924bc87"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1352741' first='Justin' last='Valentin'] is a competitor. I remember watching him at the competition phase of the showcase when he was fighting players for extra reps. Valentin was excellent throughout the showcase, and he earned second team for the Prep Redzone Showcase. Valentin has good fundamentals and does a good job using his feet and upper body as a linebacker. He has the skills to be a good linebacker next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Check out this highlight! <a href="https://t.co/wYYLwMVweO">https://t.co/wYYLwMVweO</a> don't miss out! ⁦<a href="https://twitter.com/UMBEARSFOOTBALL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@UMBEARSFOOTBALL</a>⁩ ⁦<a href="https://twitter.com/PRZPAvic?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PRZPAvic</a>⁩ ⁦<a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzonePA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzonePA</a>⁩ ⁦<a href="https://twitter.com/ArtisticMayhem1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ArtisticMayhem1</a>⁩ ⁦<a href="https://twitter.com/PAPrepsRivals?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PAPrepsRivals</a>⁩</p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1352741' first='Justin' last='Valentin'] (@Liljus16) <a href="https://twitter.com/Liljus16/status/1884993191524368680?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 30, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1352829"],"_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-67a16f924bcce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another talented linebacker was [player_tooltip player_id='1352829' first='Jeffrey' last='Cropper'] as he was consistently good at the entire Prep Redzone Showcase.

I came away impressed with him and I am excited to see how he plays next year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Junior Season Stats TOT: 83 Solo: 31 TFL: 8 Sacks: 3.5 FF: 2 PD: 1 <a href="https://t.co/zYFbEXScj0">https://t.co/zYFbEXScj0</a> ⁦<a href="https://twitter.com/PRZPAvic?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PRZPAvic</a>⁩ ⁦<a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzonePA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzonePA</a>⁩ ⁦<a href="https://twitter.com/EPAFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@EPAFootball</a>⁩ ⁦<a href="https://twitter.com/PAPrepsRivals?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PAPrepsRivals</a>⁩ ⁦<a href="https://twitter.com/DELCOFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DELCOFootball</a>⁩ ⁦<a href="https://twitter.com/PenncrestFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PenncrestFB</a>⁩</p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1352829' first='Jeffrey' last='Cropper'] (@Jeffrey_Crop22) <a href="https://twitter.com/Jeffrey_Crop22/status/1853868544624074967?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 5, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["915838"],"_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-67a16f924bd14"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='915838' first='Walter' last='Hudson'] is a good linebacker with excellent athletic ability at the Prep Redzone Showcase. For how well he performed he earned a 3rd team selection at linebacker. A well-deserved distinction. Competing as a 2027 member of the class, Hudson more than held his own against some legit linebackers. His ability to run and move is impressive. Hudson has a huge upside and should only improve going into next year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["910880"],"_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-67a16f924bd56"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I came away super impressed with [player_tooltip player_id='910880' first='Luca' last='Saurman'], and for his effort, he earned a 3rd team selection as a linebacker on the Prep Redzone Showcase team.

He also seems to have a great understanding of how to play as a linebacker. He has elite skills, which show how talented a player he is.
