Can be used in multiple ways on the field but has overall skill set to play at the next level as a true tight end. He is great with the ball in his hands and is a natural catcher of the football. Runs with a purpose and has good speed for his size. Playing in a highly competitive league, he is a focal point of the offense and playmaker. Very good with using his body and overall body control. Is a willing and highly capable blocker who is able to block at all 3 levels and in between the tackles. Has very high upside and should be a D1 TE.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/20164727/67df553db503e35af6e5bf40' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003ern","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6802910f93f8e"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[1659408],"_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-6802879696d44"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">James is a twitchy and fluid athlete out of Barnstable High School with good top end speed. Transitioning from Dennis-Yarmouth to Barnstable for senior season. Dynamic on offense with the ball in his hands. Catches well and has a natural feel for running after the catch. On defense, plays well in man to man and instinctual while in zone coverages. Has ability to play football at the next level and could help in all 3 phases, but seems to have his best film at the WR position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18268583/67fe9141956e7e329a58b796' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003ern","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680293acbc43f"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1657913"],"_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-6802879696db7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ta'Qaire is a very smooth WR out of Cathedral High School who tracks the ball very well. Has very good top end speed and gets in and out of breaks with good speed. Plays mostly on the outside in junior year film, but skill set will translate to a slot WR at the next level. His ability to win the 50/50 balls and create separation is very high level for his size. Being a smaller WR would be intrigued to see his level of physicality with blocking. Was very productive in 2024 with 90 yards/game with 12 TDs on only 34 receptions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/20798274/673f4f11b733975b8a49ca6a' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003ern","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680293acbc48f"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1659209"],"_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-6802879696e02"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jayden plays with good speed and violence out of Peabody High School. Has ability to get off the ball and be a consistent edge rusher as a DE. Shows ability to play as an every down defensive linemen both in the pass rush and stopping the run. He is very aggressive at the point of attack when playing the DE position. Plays well as a 4-2 LB and shows enough savvy to consistently make plays. Would be a college DE and would be a good player at next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18060142/6702efd40d70d6a671a3a7d8' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003ern","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680293acbc4cd"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1231756"],"_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-6802879696e45"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Michael shows very good burst off the ball and accelerates through the tackles. Is good with his hands and violent in both pass rush and stopping the run. Displays a sense of urgency and has fire to the way he plays. Looks to have good size to play both inside and outside on the defensive line. Would be a good prospect out of Joseph Case that shows flashes of speed and creativity in his skill set.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18598511/674db9c981389f62edda83ff' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003ern","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680293acbc50a"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
