Five Northeast Ohio 2027’s Who Are Ready To Takeoff

Evanich had some really impressive flashes for the Dukes as a sophomore. The rangy backer is both comfortable in space and is solid in setting the edge in the run game. His combination of size, speed, & athleticism set him apart from most at the position. It's not often you see a player of Cameron's size who can run a sub 11.00 second 100M dash and long jump 22 feet. That all goes to show some really impressive speed and explosive traits for a player who's 6'3 190 pounds. Depending on how Evanich continues to fill out I could see him as either the outside linebacker position or hybrid linebacker safety type. Where Evanich can continue to develop is just to continue getting bigger, stronger, and more violent. If he can do that, he has a chance to really blow up on the D1 recruiting scene this fall.     As a sophomore Council showed the ability to be a big-time offensive weapon for the Rockets. He has excellent vision and an explosive burst as a one cut running back. After he makes his move, he has the explosive speed to take it to the house on any play. He runs with great tempo and has the ability to make guys miss. Even though he's not a big back he has the leg drive and contact balance to run through tackles. Because of his size he could move out to receiver at the next level. You see on a couple of plays that he easily has the ability to line up at slot and be explosive route runner as well. They also used him a lot on jet sweeps. Regardless of how it comes Council is a player that defenses should fear when he gets the ball in his hands. Marcus is also a game changer on special teams as a punt and kick returner.     I really like what I saw in Krzak's sophomore film. Ed's is a program that has shown the ability to develop offensive lineman at an extremely high level. Xavier is a great ball of clay for that staff to work with and mold into a top shelf high school offensive lineman. At 6'3 290 pounds he projects to an interior offensive lineman at the college level. He anchors well and has good hands in pass pro. In the run game Xavier shows off good feet as a puller and has the leg drive to take his man out of the play. Where Krzack can continue to develop and take his game to the next level is to continue to get stronger in the upper body. If he can get more violent and heavy hands, he's going to really start to gain interests if not offers from coaches at the D1 level.     Jackson is a rangy big-skill athlete. There isn't a lot of football film there yet, but what there is you see some flashes. He lines up at wide receiver and shows good agility and athleticism for his size. Watching his basketball film, you get a chance to see what kind of explosive athlete he is with the dunks and the quick jump block ability. You also get to see some exceptional body control. With his physical traits and ability to play angles and anticipate I could really see him playing either wide receiver or in the secondary. I'm excited to see what Jackson can put on film this fall and show continued development.     Tubbs has a great frame and carries his 270 pounds well. Tubbs projects to the next level as a nose tackle. He plays with good pad level and has the lower body strength to consistently stand-up opposing blockers off the snap. He does a good job of 2 gapping and eating space in the run game. His eyes are always up and he's reading and reacting to the offense. Tubbs has a chance to really continue to develop with more violent and heavy hands.
