Film Study: Section 2-3 2027 TE’s

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Throughout the summer, we will be looking at the 2026, 2027, 2028 NY recruiting classes. While stats show numbers, film shows the entire story. For this series we will be looking at 5 players in each position throughout the next three cycles. In this edition of TE Film Study we have <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1248852' first='Oakley' last='Keegan'], [player_tooltip player_id='1630323' first='Jack' last='Heffern'], [player_tooltip player_id='1513319' first='Cormac' last='Sherwood'], [player_tooltip player_id='1362929' first='Kornell' last='John'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1513299' first='Samuel' last='Goepfert']</strong>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1248852"],"_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-689950f04211d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Standing at 6'7" 220-Pounds, [player_tooltip player_id='1248852' first='Oakley' last='Keegan'] has outstanding build for the TE position. The Section Three prospect has one of the best physical profiles at the position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keegan was limited due to injuries during his Sophomore Season, but managed to put together a productive season. He has outstanding body control and a quick twitch that is seen while changing directions. He has good hands and is a hard to tackle prospect given his elite size. He has the potential to add weight to his impressive build. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Liverpool prospect is an FBS talent who has a higher ceiling than the tape shows. If he can stay healthy, we can be looking at the best NY TE since Iona Prep's Justin Joly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18176747/6737c8b53c3db560338d5139' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-689950f0422e8"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1630323"],"_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-689950f042344"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Standing at 6'3" 190-Pounds, Heffern has a solid build for the TE position. Given his solid frame, Heffern can also take snaps at WR whether in the slot or out wide.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Heffern is a gifted athlete who can play on both sides of the field with snaps shown at both TE and LB. On the defensive side of the ball he displays a twitch paired with a solid IQ. As a TE he showcases his elite hands and can make complicated catches look easy. He is a solid blocker and showcases good hand placement. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Section Two prospect is one of the top athletes I have on my list to watch this season.

Adding good weight to his frame is possible. The VVS prospect is a there-sport athlete who plays Basketball and Lacrosse along with Football. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sherwood is an intriguing prospect given his undersized frame and three-sport athletic profile. On tape, he displays solid hands paired with decent catching. He is a TE who can lineup in the slot and outside. Blocking can use work and strength is needed for Sherwood.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Veron Verona Sherrill prospect has a solid case as a TE in the 2027 class.

Film is challenging to find with John, but his frame allows him to step on the field and make an impact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>John will remain on the Watch List due to limited film, but he is a player, like [player_tooltip player_id='1248852' first='Oakley' last='Keegan'] who has a gifted frame made for a high level TE.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1513299"],"_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-689950f042442"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Standing at 6'3" 190-Pounds, [player_tooltip player_id='1513299' first='Samuel' last='Goepfert'], has a solid build for the TE position. The Fayetteville-Manlius prospect is a multi sport athlete and competes on the lacrosse field as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Goepfert is a sneaky TE threat who can lineup in the slot or out wide and be utilized like a WR given his frame. He has a good route tree, with a wheel route showing as one of top routes.
