He has one of the fastest get-offs I have seen from a defensive tackle in a while. His ability to fire off and then disrupt the offensive backfield is impressive. Then, when he gets into the backfield, he has the quickness to make tackles in the backfield. The other big part of his game is his motor. He never stops chasing plays all over the field. I could also see him playing as an off-ball linebacker because of his ability to chase plays all over the field. McKinley-Jones is a good player who has a chance to jump up to an even higher level next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sophomore SZN<br>Northeast first team defensive tackle<br>6 sacks. 35 tackles. 8 tackles for loss. 1 Defensive TD. <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachAmeer?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachAmeer</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/NHAthletics_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NHAthletics_</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PA_TodaySports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PA_TodaySports</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/WPIAL_Insider?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WPIAL_Insider</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/NHIndiansFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NHIndiansFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/VulcanFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@VulcanFootball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PennStateFball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PennStateFball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachTerryPSU?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachTerryPSU</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Mr_LTroke?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Mr_LTroke</a> <br>my highlights- <a href="https://t.co/pGkPXq3Zs0">https://t.co/pGkPXq3Zs0</a> <a href="https://t.co/6RjrxbiIfN">pic.twitter.com/6RjrxbiIfN</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1592418' first='Jalil' last='McKinley-Jones'] (@JalilM2027) <a href="https://twitter.com/JalilM2027/status/1856149081225052196?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 12, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1629139"],"_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-68785680ac7c6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1629139' first='Alan' last='Anderson'] is a good defensive tackle for Erie. He has good strength as he is hard to move off his spot. I really like how teams have a hard time trying to double-team him. He does a good job of disrupting run plays because he is so active inside. He also uses his hands well to rip through offensive linemen trying to block him. He needs to learn more pass-rushing moves, but the talent is there to get even better in this area. Anderson has the ability to be an even better defensive tackle next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Please check out my sophomore highlight <br>tape. <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_Haneline?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_Haneline</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_JCraig?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_JCraig</a> @CoachPlungasRMU <a href="https://twitter.com/lutzsru?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@lutzsru</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Jay9Terry?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Jay9Terry</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/theDariusDavis?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@theDariusDavis</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Duq_CoachMack?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Duq_CoachMack</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachMeech91?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachMeech91</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/HagerNation?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@HagerNation</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/DreIUP17?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DreIUP17</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Twood_CP24?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Twood_CP24</a> <a href="https://t.co/ZUyO5W5onf">https://t.co/ZUyO5W5onf</a></p>&mdash; Alananderson (@Alanandersonty) <a href="https://twitter.com/Alanandersonty/status/1855726446976598342?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 10, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1700601"],"_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-68785680ac833"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1700601' first='Daysaun' last='Spencer'] is a good wide receiver who played as a slot receiver last year for Brentwood. What I love about Spencer's film is his ability to run a variety of routes well. He does a good job after the catch by making defenders miss in space. He also runs deep routes well by creating separation and going and getting the ball. He is also good at contested catches by out-catching the ball over defenders. Spencer was also used in the run game for jet sweeps. Spencer has elite receiver skills. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sophomore season highlights<br>21rec<br>9 receiving td<br>567 yards<br>167 rushing 1 td <a href="https://t.co/Xkc2C8opRB">https://t.co/Xkc2C8opRB</a><br>@PRZPAvic <a href="https://twitter.com/PA_TodaySports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PA_TodaySports</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BWoodSpartans?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BWoodSpartans</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/21_jthomas?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@21_jthomas</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/210ths?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@210ths</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1700601' first='Daysaun' last='Spencer'] (@daydayspencer) <a href="https://twitter.com/daydayspencer/status/1858013300073598989?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 17, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1649661"],"_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-68785680ac899"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1649661' first='Zymir' last='Small'] is a good prospect as a running back and a wide receiver.

I saw him take handoffs as a wing on a counter play, on tosses, and on various inside run plays. He is a good running back who has an excellent burst and the ability to make defenders miss in space. As a wide receiver, he shows off his ability after the catch to make defenders miss. Small is an excellent player in the 2027 class who is in line for a big year this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="de" dir="ltr">[player_tooltip player_id='1649661' first='Zymir' last='Small']<br>CO 2027<br>RB/WR<br>Ht: 5'9<br>Wt: 155<br>GPA: 3.75<br>40 Yard dash: 4.72<br>Contact: 267-333-3626<br>email: zymirrsmall@gmail.com<br>hudl: <a href="https://t.co/Et2g4dpulk">https://t.co/Et2g4dpulk</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1649661' first='Zymir' last='Small'] (@ZymirSmall2) <a href="https://twitter.com/ZymirSmall2/status/1895621563938136218?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 28, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1700611"],"_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-68785680ac8fc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1700611' first='Landon' last='Howell'] had a good year last season for Cedar Cliff, playing as a linebacker and getting some playing time as a running back as well. As a linebacker, he shows a good ability to read and react to the play and then come upfield to make the proper play against the offense. He was especially good as a pass defender, where he had two interceptions. He also played running back, where he showed a physical running style. He was even playing some H-back, where he showed a good ability to catch the ball in the flat. I expect Howell should be an even bigger contributor this year for Cedar Cliff. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">My varsity Sophomore season highlights!!<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1700611' first='Landon' last='Howell']<br>Co‘27<br>5'11<br>200 lbs<br>Running Back/Linebacker<br>2 Interceptions <br>2 Touchdowns <br>19 Solo Tackles <br>31 Total Tackles <br>1 Sack<br>Very solid year can't wait to see what next year brings. <a href="https://twitter.com/ColinGillen1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ColinGillen1</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/coachspag?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@coachspag</a> <a href="https://t.co/CUPEhENjn5">https://t.co/CUPEhENjn5</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1700611' first='Landon' last='Howell'] (@howell22_landon) <a href="https://twitter.com/howell22_landon/status/1857235282740785577?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 15, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
