DC Everest vs River Falls: Top Prospects to Know

DC Everest vs River Falls was a physical and electric game. Huge offensive performances on both squads, powerful lineman and 2 impressive underclassmen highlighted this Thursday Night showdown. Here are 12 players who impressed in this high-level matchup.    Tino was dialed in vs DC Everest; making every throw a QB can make. There is so much to like about Tino's game. From is accuracy to his cannon for an arm, he was able to thread the ball to all areas of the field. When given time Tino can launch the ball far into the secondary while layering it to keep the ball away from the defensive backs. He has great pocket presence and is able to feel away from sacks. His biggest strength is his chemistry with his receivers. He will throw them open and always has a sense on where they will be. Tino played like a top quarterback in Wisconsin and if he keeps this up his numbers will be out of this world this season.     Sam was the best player on the field. He was mauling defenders and was opening up gaping holes in the run game. When Sam gets moving, he demolishes any defensive player in his way. He really uses his strength and power in all aspects of the game. He has a massive upper body and runs his feet well on every play. Sam has great balance and never loses his body control even for being such large player. He has everything you want in a lineman and more. The Indiana commit was tearing up the trenches and overpowering everyone in his way. Sam is one of the best players in the state and for good reason.     Anytime Joesph touches the ball he wants to run you over. He is an imposing figure at running back standing at 6 '1 and weighing 200 pounds. Once he gets to the second level, Joesph is hard to take down. At times it feels like you need an army to bring him down as his legs are always churning for more yards. In the passing game, he is a weapon out of the backfield and uses his sneaky speed to make huge plays. He had an unreal stat line of 230 total yards and 4 rushing touchdowns. Joesph, a Dordt University commit, is primed for a huge senior season on the ground this year.     Mason has so many wide receiver intangibles. He is a technician as a route runner, making quick cuts and using his leverage to outwork defensive backs. Mason plays with an extra gear. He is a dynamic receiver with the ball in his hands and is reception machine for the Wildcats. He has the agility to gain extra yards after the catch. Mason is a game changer for River Falls and is there go-to passing option for Massa. He followed up his huge week 1 performance with another stellar outing vs DC Everest. Mason is out to a hot start this season and I don't think he will slow down anytime soon.     Charlie is a supremely impressive junior for the Wildcats. He can take the top off of the defense with his electric speed. The burners come into play when Charlie races behind the secondary. On occasions he torched the back end of the defense and was explosive out of the gates. He is a savvy route runner and can separate himself from the secondary with one quick release. Charlie is able to adjust to any pass thrown his way and is very sure handed. Charlie is another potent receiver for River Falls and is on tap for a huge junior season this year.     Todd was very impressive vs DC Everest. He was a mismatch nightmare and used his massive frame to overpower cornerbacks. Standing at 6 '3, Todd has the size to win any jump ball thrown is way. Just before half, Todd snatched a ball out of the air and toe tapped in the back of the endzone for a huge River Falls touchdown. Todd gives the Wildcat offense a different style receiver on their roster while he also possesses the necessary speed and hands to make a big impact. Todd was a breakout player vs DC Everest and has all of the talent to keep this up during the season.     Austin was making a name for himself in the backfield all night. He was a menace in the run game and was blowing up plays for his linebackers to clean up the mess he made. He did the dirty work and was rewarded for those plays with few highlights plays of his own. In the pass game he has the "bend" that you need as an edge rusher and was relentless when pursuing the quarterback. He is a gritty pass rusher who wins his one on one matchups more often than not. I came away from the game very impressed with Austin in his impact on the defensive line for River Falls.     Anthony was making plays in the secondary for River Falls. He had multiple pass breakups and was a thorn in the run game. He is supremely athletic and was staying with the Evergreen receivers all night. He is a textbook cornerback who has quick instincts to jump and knock down passes. Anthony also isn't afraid to scream to the line of scrimmage and deliver a blow to the ball carrier. He finished with 3 passes defended and 5 tackles on the night. Anthony was very impressive in the backend, and I think the 3-year starter can a be a thorn on offenses throughout the entire season.     Trevor in limited snaps made huge impressions vs the Evergreens. While Tarasewicz is the bell cow of the Wildcat offense, Bartlett is a very capable back to give him rest when needed. Trever is a physically imposing running back standing at 6 '1 and weighing 205 pounds. As a defender when you think you have a play to rest while Tarasewicz is off of the field, Trever can come in a barrel through the defense. He showed of this skillset on a long touchdown run where he broke multiple tackles and turned on the jets and darted down the sideline for a 70-yard touchdown run. The sophomore is oozing with potential, and I think the best football his ahead of him in his very young career. He is definitely one player to watch over the next 3 years.     Xavier is a ball magnet on offense. It seems like any ball thrown his way he will always be able to snatch it away from defenders. Xavier can adjust his body to any ball; whether it's behind, in front, or above him. He is extremely athletic and can pluck the ball out of thin air. Xavier most impressed me with his playmaking after the catch. This year he is the go-to player on offense and DC Everest was getting creative in the ways to get him the ball. Xavier, a Minnesota State Mankato commit has all of the tools you want in a go to, #1 receiver. Xavier is on tap for a huge senior season this year.     Chris is a uber talented offensive lineman. He is nasty in the run game and bullies' defenders, forcing them away from the play to open holes on the ground. Chris has a wide frame (260 pounds) but is agile and has some nimbleness to his game where he can athletically stay with faster players. His footwork as a guard is impressive for only a sophomore. Chris never seems like he is out of control and is very coordinated when he is pulling/moving. Chris has all of the tools you want in college offensive lineman, and he will only get even better over the next three years.     Corbin runs with patience and vision as a running back. He has the eyes to see a hole and explode through a hole. Although he might be a smaller size back, Corbin runs hard and is always pumping his knees to steamroll for more yards. He has sneaky speed and runs well in space. Corbin is most dangerous in the screen game where he gets to use vision to follow his blockers and pick up more yards. Corbin has the ability to keep the DC Everest running back tradition going with a big season this year.
