With so much roster movement within college programs, high schoolers are forced to be patient at times. No need to panic if you're still on the board with your senior season beginning. There's still opportunity to impress scouts that will end up with openings on the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a group of guys that can raise their stock during the 2025 campaign:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1842915"],"_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-68a769eb65ff3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Myers was a menace on the interior of the Spartans' D-Line in 2024. He was credited with 27.5 tackles, 20 of which were solo stops. He posted 6.5 tackles for loss and a pair of sacks. When we watch his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18069789/6745e6e0a523797f61b753ab">junior highlight video</a>, a physical front man appears. Myers performs with good leverage, getting under the O-Lineman's pads and guiding him with his hands. He holds the line, flows to the football and disengages from blocks when it's time to drop the ball carrier. Myers has a strong base and plays with balance, which helps him stay on his feet. He has his head up and eyes on the target, operating within the framework of the defensive scheme.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1844674"],"_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-68a88a6a9f35e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Playing in a run-heavy offense in 2024, White paced the Crusaders with 254 receiving yards on 11 catches, averaging 23.1 yards per catch. The junior contributed on defense, too, with 9.0 tackles and an interception, while also helping on kick returns. White's <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18087817/6721c76a814291000a352e30">11th-grade highlight</a> video contains evidence to how he operates effectively. He's a well-rounded receiver that can get deep, high-point the ball over top of defensive backs and work across the middle of the field. Wideouts need to block at Heelan, and White welcomes physicality and is a willing blocker. He also shows a lot of potential in the return game, which should be a bonus for programs on the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1844698"],"_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-68a88d2272485"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harpenau paced the Crusaders with 50.0 tackles as a junior in 2024, when he earned all-district laurels. Of those stops, 32 were of the solo variety. He also caught four passes for 41 yards and carried the ball on a couple of occasions. Harpenau's <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17608901/674f47171a1ef8504fa52aa1">11th-grade highlight video</a> reveals an active linebacker that gets downhill to the football in a hurry. He moves well laterally and has quickness, which could allow him to play a hybrid at the next level. Harpenau shows off skills as a receiver coming out of the backfield as well. He runs crisp routes and can make tough catches in traffic. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1844770"],"_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-68a894edd20ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sorensen collected 45.0 tackles last season, 30 of which were solo stops. He added an interception and returned a pair of kicks. Sorensen's <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17951184/Hagen-Sorensen/highlights">Hudl page</a> does not include recent highlight tapes but has some individual game clips to view. On them, we get an idea of how he produces on the field. That's especially true in this <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17951184/67143d4c270de34292b56e06">video of clips</a> against a sound Nevada team in 2024. We see Sorensen identifying the offensive formation and sharing information with teammates before the snap, a sign of preparedness. Once the play gets underway, Sorensen runs well to the football, arrives with physicality and is a technically-solid tackler. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1844812"],"_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-68a89b2243c6c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Larson played an important role on a Lion defense that helped the team reach the postseason again. The junior totaled 27.5 tackles with 17 of them being solo stops. He added 7.0 tackles for loss, a sack and a fumble recovery. He chipped in a few catches on offense as well. When we check out Larson's <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/15141692/679eb2bdf555191907fdf98a">11th-grade highlight video</a>, a long-armed, angular edge appears. He operates with a good get-off and shoulder-dip to make it tough on offensive tackles to square him up. Larson works with active hands and leverage. His frame looks like it can fill out without the loss of the athleticism and agility he currently possesses, meaning his ceiling is sizable. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1811636"],"_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-68a8a1a90a5f0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hrnicek was a baller on both sides of the ball for the Lynx in 2024. The junior piled up 52.5 tackles, 37 of which were of the solo variety. He added 3.0 tackles for loss, a sack and four fumble recoveries. Hrnicek carried the ball 38 times for 210 yards and a pair of touchdowns and complete 6 of 8 passes, including a TD toss. He also helped on special teams, including as a kick returner. Hrnicek's <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/20194571/672d33fa8165b1e1f11a704e">11th-grade highlight video</a> shows off his versatility and athleticism. He's a down-hill linebacker that plays under control and is a technically sound tackler. He diagnoses plays well and operates within the scheme. Hrnicek has potential with the ball in his hands, too, as an elusive performer with good vision. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
