<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this report, we will present five prospects who are set to transfer to schools in the New England region and compete at the NEPSAC level in the fall of 2025. All of them are expected to be ranked within New England region c/o 2027 in the upcoming ranking update scheduled for July 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1657539"],"_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-687a66c3347c8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nathan will be joining Dexter in 2025 and reclassing to the 2027 class. The Medford native bring great size and experience to the OL and DL at Dexter. A very strong and powerful DL, he provides a mismatch on smaller centers on the interior and slower less athletic tackers from the edge. He is very good with his low center of gravity. Nathan adds value to the OL from both his size and athleticism. He has the ability to play LT and moves well in that position, but also could be a hand in the dirt guard, if needed. Nathan already has FBS offers, but by reclassifying he will only raise his stock and gain more national attention.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17822370/66e73aff83384dbe0f00496b' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687a66c334b11"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1644222"],"_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-687a66c334b94"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kanak is a well sized athlete that has very good body control. The Lawrence Academy OL is physical with his hands and does a good job of finishing blocks. He has good feet and agility when in pass protection. The Hopkinton product is very good once he is able to control the defender and has them within his reach. Kanak is a high motor athlete that finishes plays all throughout his film. His ability to be versatile and mobile for his size will make him a very sought after college prospect in the next few years. Taking the jump to Lawrence Academy will be great for his development and overall recruiting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18462960/673f520d4d6c6b59f3c7a172' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687a66c334be8"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1679467"],"_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-687a66c334c5d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Max Palma will be going down the road to Cheshire Academy from Cheshire High for the 2025 season. The Cheshire, CT product will be reclassifying to be in the 2027 class which will be a great addition to the Cheshire Academy trenches. A high academic athlete, Max pursues the ball and has a knack for finding the ball carrier at the line of scrimmage. Slightly undersized, he uses his speed and ability to move to his advantage when going against opposing OL. He is a very good tackler and aggressive on film, will be curious to see how his game translates down the street in the NEPSAC. Max will be a highly recruited athlete based on strength, speed, and overall tackling ability. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9VXfTUJW1Q","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9VXfTUJW1Q </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1659269"],"_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-687a66c334cda"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lucas will be joining Governor's Academy this fall as a 2027 reclass. The Malden Catholic DB/LB is fast and physical. He is a hybrid between being a LB and DB playing the nickel/overhang position most of 2024. He is very good tackler and processes information very quickly. He is equally as good in coverage as he is with his run responsibilities. Lucas does a great job of playing fast and with a high motor but being under control. He provides a lot of versatility for the Governor's Academy LB/DB room and will be trouble for opposing offenses. Lucas will make an immediate impact this fall and benefit from an extra year and higher level football when it comes to recruiting. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18220821/674ad44d1a1ef8504fa2ede1' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687d16cf938c4"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1685169"],"_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-687a66c334d51"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">James is a long and athletic DL that will now have 2 seasons at Brunswick school after reclassing and joining the 2027 class. From the CT Show Day workout at Brunswick, you could see his ability to move and eat up space with his length. What was most impressive was his frame and overall weight distribution. In various clips from his twitter, you can see his motor and ability to get off the block both with good hips and strong hands. James will be an athlete to watch in 2025 and will rise the recruiting boards with a strong highlight film. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/CraginJames/status/1924905553932816612","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/CraginJames/status/1924905553932816612 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
