The first thing I noticed that makes Manzo special was how well he moves backwards, actually accelerating when doing so. This allows him to see the field field and plays develop in front of him nicely, and as a byproduct making great breaks that look sudden on the ball. The aggregate of these abilities is that Manzo fills the alley so well that he can square up opponents in it when he flies up to fill. In a similar sense, he plays the short passing game exceptionally well, likely do to this skillset translating. When tested deep, we see Manzo stick with slot receivers on wheel routes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15445809/673bf5656f71d76904430507' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67d3151aa4344"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1515041"],"_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-67d303c0cca8d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Although [player_tooltip player_id='1515041' first='Khajuan' last='Roseborough'] was watch listed as a quarterback for the longest, if you watch his tape it is clear as the sky is blue that the Atlantic City product is a defensive back. Roseborough runs extremely well, covering a lot of ground, and has a burst when rolling down hill. With the ball in his hands, Roseborough is outright dangerous. We see him totally reverse field, and then sometimes even do it again, in order to bust a big return on an interception. Fundamentally, Roseborough maintains his backpedal for a longer-than-usual amount of time <em>all the while </em>staying in phase with his assignment. In fact, he looks very comfortable in it. Roseborough was also asked to play cornerback at times, where that backpedal allowed him to confidently play bump and run, physically, for the duration of many routes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/22731489/66e73f194e30adbe7f3ed71e' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67d3151aa43b5"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1545722"],"_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-67d303c0ccafe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nnaemeka Amachina is one of those prospects that is super raw, super unpolished, and super desirable for college coaches. Although he played tailback and has the track speed to get past anyone, my crystal ball tells me that Amachina's future is at defensive back - specifically safety. Playing that position for Central Regional, Amachina aggressively fill both gaps and the alley in the run game. In coverage he has shown recoverability should he lose a step or two. Moreover, he uses his hands nearly exclusively to catch the ball. Bend and flexibility are part of Amachina's traits too, as we see him often dip to avoid tacklers. With this much raw athleticism, college coaches ought to be salivating over the opportunity to coach him in in their image with their fundamentals. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16433319/672033564c53f0b9b596e16d' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67d3151aa4416"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Class of 2025 Final Rankings Coverage</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/film-evaluation-notes-for-2025s-new-additions-part-i"><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/film-evaluation-notes-for-2025s-new-additions-part-i">Film Evaluation Ranking Notes, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/film-evaluation-notes-for-2025s-new-additions-part-ii">Film Evaluation Ranking Notes, Part II</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/film-evaluation-notes-for-2025s-new-additions-part-iii">Film Evaluation Ranking Notes, Part III</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/film-evaluation-notes-for-2025s-new-additions-part-iv">Film Evaluation Ranking Notes, Part IV</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/film-evaluation-notes-for-2025s-new-additions-part-v">Film Evaluation Ranking Notes, Part V</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/film-evaluation-notes-for-2025s-new-additions-part-vi">Film Evaluation Ranking Notes, Part VI</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/film-evaluation-notes-for-2025s-new-additions-part-vii">Film Evaluation Ranking Notes, Part VII</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/film-evaluation-notes-for-2025s-new-additions-part-viii">Film Evaluation Ranking Notes, Part VIII</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/film-evaluation-notes-for-2025s-new-additions-part-ix">Film Evaluation Ranking Notes, Part IX</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/film-evaluation-notes-for-2025s-new-additions-part-x">Film Evaluation Ranking Notes, Part X</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/film-evaluation-notes-for-2025s-new-additions-part-xi/">Film Evaluation Ranking Notes, Part XI</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/film-evaluation-notes-for-2025s-new-additions-part-xii">Film Evaluation Ranking Notes, Part XII</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/film-evaluation-notes-for-2025s-new-additions-part-xiii">Film Evaluation Ranking Notes, Part XIII</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/film-evaluation-notes-for-2025s-new-additions-part-xiv">Film Evaluation Ranking Notes, Part XIV</a></a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/rankings-risers-ranked-prospects-whose-stock-shot-up-part-i">Ranking Risers, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/rankings-risers-ranked-prospects-whose-stock-shot-up-part-ii">Ranking Risers, Part II</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/worth-the-wait-watchlist-prospects-that-waxed-the-rankings-pt-1">Watchlist Risers, Part 1</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/must-see-athletes-prospects-with-film-that-popped-part-i">Must-See Film: Athletes, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/must-see-athletes-prospects-with-film-that-popped-part-ii">Must-See Film: Athletes, Part II</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/must-see-dbs-prospects-with-film-that-popped-part-i">Must-See Film: Defensive Backs, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/must-see-dbs-prospects-with-film-that-popped-part-ii">Must-See Film: Defensive Backs, Part II</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/must-see-d-linemen-prospects-with-film-that-popped-part-i">Must-See Film: Defensive Linemen, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/must-see-lbs-prospects-with-film-that-popped-part-i">Must-See Film: Linebackers, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/must-see-o-linemen-prospects-with-film-that-popped-part-i">Must-See Film: Offensive Linemen, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/must-see-qbs-prospects-with-film-that-popped-part-i/%E2%86%97">Must-See Film: Quarterbacks, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/must-see-rbs-prospects-with-film-that-popped-part-i">Must-See Film: Running Backs, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/must-see-tes-prospects-with-film-that-popped">Must-See Film: Tight Ends</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/03/must-see-wrs-prospects-with-film-that-popped-part-i">Must-See Film: Wide Receivers, Part I</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
