Brady is an athletic OG who's got active feet and nice explosiveness. A high IQ lineman, Brady shows the ability to read rushers and take good angles to the defender. Able to reach and combo block, he uses his good lateral mobility to his advantage. He plays with some nasty as well, able to show his strength and bury defenders in the dirt. With good size and frame for an interior OL combined with his athleticism, Brady is prospect that continues to develop well and move up in the rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Freshman season highlights<br>#60 OL class of 2028<br>6&#039;3&quot; 256 lbs<br>410-443-7977<a href="https://twitter.com/AlWaters15?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@AlWaters15</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/EHScoach55?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@EHScoach55</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/_THE_FIELDHOUSE?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@_THE_FIELDHOUSE</a> <a href="https://t.co/c4sTPLzO08">https://t.co/c4sTPLzO08</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1130061' first='Brady' last='Gilliece'] (@BradyGilliece) <a href="https://twitter.com/BradyGilliece/status/1897289208940896287?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 5, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["965050"],"_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-688f9be6160c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Khalil is a WR/DB with nice size &amp; build who looks to be an impact player for Reservoir this season. He didn't rack up huge numbers as a freshman but you could see the talent and potential in the plays he did make. With his big frame and fluid stride Khalil does a good job pushing vertical in his routes before breaking them off. Then when he does go deep he displays a big catch radius, able to go up and get it with good body control. On defense, Khalil lines up mainly as a nickel DB or at FS. He has good range, able to cover lots of space and go attack the ball in the air. With his size and fluidity as an athlete, Khalil could be a tough matchup for teams on both sides of the ball this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Freshman year over on to the next..<br>165 yards 12 rec 27 yards a game <br>5 pbu 10 solo tackles 20 total tackles <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachBanta_RHS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachBanta_RHS</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzoneMD?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzoneMD</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/RecruitNationUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RecruitNationUS</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/GoMVB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GoMVB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/ResiHS_Football?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ResiHS_Football</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_Fatz52?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_Fatz52</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/TerpsFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TerpsFootball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/HokiesFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@HokiesFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/FAMU_VB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@FAMU_VB</a> <a href="https://t.co/fpfdANiKBo">https://t.co/fpfdANiKBo</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='965050' first='Khalil' last='Malloy'] (@lorr_khalill) <a href="https://twitter.com/lorr_khalill/status/1861262618347876721?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 26, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1515149"],"_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-688f9be616169"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Eli is an IOL who is set to be a key piece to a strong Bullis OL this fall. He may only be 6'1" right now but he plays bigger than his size and takes it to the defense. Eli plays with nice physicality and strength, while alway being athletic enough to pull and get out in space. He fires off the ball well and is able to generate good power through clean technique and good leverage. He plays on his toes, able to pull, reach, and combo block effectively. Eli also has that nasty to his game as well, tough and aggressive off the LOS he looks to put guys in the dirt and let make sure they feel it. I look forward to seeing more of Eli along with a loaded Bullis squad this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Can't wait to be at <a href="https://twitter.com/PennFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PennFB</a> tomorrow for <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachPriore?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachPriore</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachMetzler?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachMetzler</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Greg_Chimera?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Greg_Chimera</a> camp. <a href="https://twitter.com/Penn?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Penn</a> I am exited to work hard, compete and learn. <a href="https://twitter.com/skylersprings?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@skylersprings</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/FTRreport?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@FTRreport</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/HawgPerformance?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@HawgPerformance</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BullisAthletics?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BullisAthletics</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachSBreen?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachSBreen</a> API Fitness <a href="https://t.co/bduZAPFXSw">pic.twitter.com/bduZAPFXSw</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1515149' first='Eli' last='Williamowsky'] (@eliwilliamowsky) <a href="https://twitter.com/eliwilliamowsky/status/1943769597070786595?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 11, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1739367"],"_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-688f9be6161d7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rondell is a player I think could really take off this season as he develops and sees an increased role for Frederick HS. A do it all player, Rondell lines up at WR/TE/DB/LB and can make plays all over the field. Standing 6'2" with a verified 80" wingspan and 10" hands I would not be surprised to see him continue to grow. A good overall athlete and a multi-sport kid, Rondell also plays basketball and lacrosse. He has the size, frame and length to make some big time plays. Rondell could turn some heads this fall and I look forward to seeing him live.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I played a little safety and wr today, stacking days until the season!

A DT prospect who is a play wrecker up the middle. He is quick off the snap and is able to shoot gaps and finds himself in the backfield often. Playing with good leverage, Simar stays low and fights through contact at the LOS. Athletic and quick, he plays on his toes and has a good motor. Simar has active hands, able to rip and slip passed blockers, and displays a clean spin move as well. He continues to get stronger and I expect offenses to be aware of Simar's where abouts this fall or he will make them pay.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Max Out Day 1<br>255 Bench Press<br>405 Squat <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_BMarsh?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_BMarsh</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachVicDowning?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachVicDowning</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/ot__75?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ot__75</a> <a href="https://t.co/2WVqj2WtJ0">pic.twitter.com/2WVqj2WtJ0</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1088679' first='Simar' last='Williams'] (@simar59williams) <a href="https://twitter.com/simar59williams/status/1909599409966395767?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 8, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1644749"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1774828,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-688f9be61629a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Luke didn't see much field time as a freshman but I was able to get eyes on him this spring and came away impressed. He should be a contributor on Spalding's defense this fall as Coach Schmitt is high on his potential. Luke looks the part out there on the field. He has a nice wide shoulder frame, big chest and should continue to fill out well. A good overall athlete, Luke moves fast, can drop his weight and explode out. When I saw him at workouts this spring, Luke showcased quick feet and nice COD ability. He can turn and go, shows good bend and can come downhill with power/burst. Look for Luke to make plays both in coverage and at the LOS as he fills and blows up the run this fall. I can easily see Luke moving up the 2028 rankings if he makes the impact I think he can in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">405x5 squat <a href="https://twitter.com/SpaldingFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SpaldingFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/ScottSwope11?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ScottSwope11</a> <a href="https://t.co/atBo7ZQoEi">pic.twitter.com/atBo7ZQoEi</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1644749' first='Luke' last='Winkler'] (@LukeWinkFB) <a href="https://twitter.com/LukeWinkFB/status/1922008237651439708?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 12, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
