Cole Villalta</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">6'4, 190 pounds, can double as a wideout and DB at Massapequa as well as at our 7v7. Surprisingly unranked on our New York site, yet I'm unaware if Villalta has substantial tape to work with. 7v7 work alone won't get you on our rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I ended up losing track of the number of interceptions and touchdowns to his name, all I know is the kid has turned up and dominated two consecutive events he's attended in favor of HypeFam. A shame I didn't get the majority of his catches on tape yet he had spectators buzzing, including myself. Played middle backer but with depth, almost as a deep-third safety. Was deployed everywhere on offense. He was one of the few HypeFam prospects to leave a lasting impression on me. Villalta places high on this list, sitting among some elite DMV talent. New York prospects came to play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Had a blast at Duel in the DMV and was honored to be recognized as a top performer! <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachWarrick_HF?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachWarrick_HF</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/jared_valluzzi?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@jared_valluzzi</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PRZCaleb?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PRZCaleb</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzone?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzone</a> <a href="https://t.co/ats6rbdmFq">pic.twitter.com/ats6rbdmFq</a></p>&mdash; Cole Villalta (@ColeVillalta) <a href="https://twitter.com/ColeVillalta/status/1901426426517270673?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 17, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311634"],"_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-67ddd2ff7e236"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="text-gray-700 has-medium-font-size"><strong>19.

One or two one-handed grabs, an wide window for Ford to throw into, limbs that could damn near touch a crossbar on the field. Not a skrawny looking pass-catcher, Parker looks to be doing his best to fill out his frame, as he's approaching 200 pounds on the scale. His limb strength, Parker ability to play through the hands of pesky DBs was evident all weekend. Yes, Parker can high point balls, yes, Parker can elevate above the heads of DBs, I came away more impressed with how tough a task it was for DBs to derail him off his route. Parker could have doubled his touchdown count had he saw a few more targets head his way, this evident after watching Octane live on several occasions. Was a pleasure watching one of Maryland's best work up close. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">This past weekand at <a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzone?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzone</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzoneMD?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzoneMD</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/agtg?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#agtg</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/uptop?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#uptop</a> <a href="https://t.co/sRNncc4r7U">pic.twitter.com/sRNncc4r7U</a></p>&mdash; joshua “JJ” parker (@daparkerJ) <a href="https://twitter.com/daparkerJ/status/1902091342550798672?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 18, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1313465"],"_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-67ddd2ff7e1d9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>16.

I didn't get the chance to watch him live, 2. Stafford Knights didn't get as deep as others into the tournament. Both things shouldn't fault Young Jr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>His spot on this list is trivial and petty, what matters is making sure readers and coaches know that Young Jr. absolutely dominated competition, this from both a wideout and safety perspective. I fully expect a player of Young's caliber to score in a setting like this one. Too twitchy, to sudden of a wideout to not produce on offense. What's impressive was Young's prowess at safety. 5'11, 170 pounds, 3.6 GPA out of Brooke Point HS, Young is generally unassuming. Watch him sky over wideouts and range hash to sideline at events like this, you'd think he was 6'1-6'2. Seven total interceptions throughout two days work, with touchdowns serving as icing on the cake. Young is currently on our VA watch list but is on a fast track to landing well among his 2027 VA peers. Easily a Top Ten performance. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Blessed to be named top performer at duel in the dmv with some of the best in the area for 18u. 7 picks 4 tds on the weekend <a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzoneVA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzoneVA</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/carljfred?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@carljfred</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PRZPAvic?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PRZPAvic</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachAvianceSr?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachAvianceSr</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachRupe_BPOC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachRupe_BPOC</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachG_BPHS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachG_BPHS</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BrookePoint_FB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BrookePoint_FB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachDHaze?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachDHaze</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Spotlight39_Pod?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Spotlight39_Pod</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Rob_Otey?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Rob_Otey</a> <a href="https://t.co/GWJa69kxDn">pic.twitter.com/GWJa69kxDn</a></p>&mdash; Aviance Young Jr (@lilav4x) <a href="https://twitter.com/lilav4x/status/1901693824591659046?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 17, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
