He has great size ( 6'2" inches tall) and moves extremely well. On offense, he played as a wide receiver, where he was a difference-maker.  He can score anytime he touches the ball. His ability to catch the ball and make defenders miss in space is impressive. He also shows a good ability to high-point the ball and catch it over defenders. Then, as a defensive back, he is a ballhawk who does a good job of getting his hands on the ball and knocking them away or intercepting passes. Webb recently visited Monmouth. I expect he will get more visits and offers to come his way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Thank you <a href="https://twitter.com/MUHawksFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MUHawksFB</a> for the visit.

As a wide receiver, he does a great job of catching the ball in traffic between defenders. He also shows a good ability after the catch to make defenders miss in space. Then, when it is a one-on-one ball, he does a good job of making contested catches. As a defender, he is a matchup piece who does a good job as a run stopper and dropping in pass coverage. Jones has a lot of potential and recently picked up offers from the Army and Temple.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Blessed to receive an offer from Army West Point! <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachJohnLoose?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachJohnLoose</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PRZPAvic?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PRZPAvic</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/EdOBrienCFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@EdOBrienCFB</a> <a href="https://t.co/UOAiemXcPY">pic.twitter.com/UOAiemXcPY</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1150425' first='Matthew' last='Jones'] (@MatthewJon35812) <a href="https://twitter.com/MatthewJon35812/status/1910443821374071045?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 10, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1077287"],"_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-67f599f204ec9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1077287' first='Levi' last='Porter'] is a good athlete who can score anytime he touches the ball. He played as both a running back and a linebacker last year for Kiski Prep. As a linebacker, he is a true sideline-to-sideline player. He makes plays all over the field. He is excellent at reading the quarterback and making interceptions. Then he is such a good athlete that he can return them for touchdowns. As a running back, he shows off electric speed, and if he gets a seam, he is off to the end zone. He is also a physical running back who is hard to bring down. Porter is an excellent athlete whose recruitment is starting to heat up. He recently visited James Madison.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Had a great time at JMU today, thanks for having me! <a href="https://twitter.com/AlexEgno?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@AlexEgno</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachPlungasJMU?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachPlungasJMU</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/ApplebaumNathan?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ApplebaumNathan</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_DiMike?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_DiMike</a> <a href="https://t.co/rML4og2gij">pic.twitter.com/rML4og2gij</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1077287' first='Levi' last='Porter'] (@LeviPor56486950) <a href="https://twitter.com/LeviPor56486950/status/1907115107089256747?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 1, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1155878"],"_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-67f599f204f12"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1155878' first='Sean' last='O'Brien'] is an excellent wide receiver and safety for Keystone Oaks. As a wide receiver, he is a classic outside receiver who does a good job on contested catches. His ability to go up and out-catch the ball off defenders is excellent. He also has good body control as he can catch the ball and maintain control of his body. One example is his ability to catch the ball and keep one foot in bounce. As a safety, he does a good job of reading his keys and making a play on the ball thrown in his direction. O'Brien has immense talent and has a chance to play College Football in the future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["854392"],"_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-67f599f204f5a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='854392' first='Blake' last='Turner'] is an electric receiver for Spring-Ford.

There are multiple defenders, and he still can get open and catch the ball. He also shows a good ability to run routes.  His ability to get in and out of breaks is excellent. Turner is a good wide receiver who recently got an offer from Stony Brook.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">After a great conversation with <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachBCosh?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachBCosh</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/Matt_Oehl13?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Matt_Oehl13</a> I'm blessed to announce I've received my first D1 offer from <a href="https://twitter.com/StonyBrookFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@StonyBrookFB</a>!!
