His ability to make defenders miss in space is excellent. He is also a patient running back who does a good job waiting for offensive linemen to set up their blocks, then he explodes through the hole. He is also a physical running back who is hard to tackle as he runs through arm tackles from defenders. Halajcio is a talented player who has an offer from Clarion. I expect more offers to come his way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Clarion offered 🦅 <br>Thanks <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachDurish?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachDurish</a> !!!!!! <a href="https://t.co/ykG9zpyHGh">pic.twitter.com/ykG9zpyHGh</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='388169' first='Caden' last='Halajcio'] (@halajcio) <a href="https://twitter.com/halajcio/status/1940963910112477349?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 4, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["529124"],"_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-688421278f114"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='529124' first='Dylan' last='Rogers'] is a matchup nightmare for offenses as he plays both as an edge defender and as a linebacker. At both positions, he has great size (6'2") and athleticism. His ability to chase plays from both positions is excellent. As an edge defender, he is excellent at setting the edge and making the play or forcing the ball inside. He is also good at getting off blocks and then chasing plays. Then, as an off-ball linebacker, he reads and reacts to the plays and then does a good job making plays all over the field. Rogers should have a good chance at playing college football in the future, he is that talented of a player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">FULL JUNIOR SEASON HIGHLIGHTS‼️<br>DE/EDGE/MLB<br>76 tackles<br>16 TFL'S<br>2 SACKS<br>2 PASS DEFLECTIONS<a href="https://twitter.com/wpialsportsnews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@wpialsportsnews</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/WPIAL_Insider?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WPIAL_Insider</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Jummers_32?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Jummers_32</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/JarrodRider?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JarrodRider</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Jay_A_Martinez?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Jay_A_Martinez</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/MontourFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MontourFootball</a> <a href="https://t.co/PHS2ieiAJW">https://t.co/PHS2ieiAJW</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='529124' first='Dylan' last='Rogers'] (@dylanrogers_1) <a href="https://twitter.com/dylanrogers_1/status/1852820948296110384?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 2, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1543144"],"_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-688421278f1b2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1543144' first='Cole' last='Midili'] is a good linebacker for Montour.
