He had 5 touchdowns and 5 interceptions in 2024, those are impressive number even if he hadnt just entered high school. The 18th ranked prospect in the 2028 class is set to tear through the Region once again. Already with a Syracuse offer, more are coming by seasons end. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/darion_majeed/status/1887653683388649916","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/darion_majeed/status/1887653683388649916 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["853812"],"_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-68a75091e29eb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='853812' first='Brock' last='Brimhall'] has been a top tier quarterback the past two season and his senior year is off to a great start.

Carter obtained 135 tackles and 5 sacks, seeing him at our showcase I can attest the young man is a beast. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/jay75689/status/1921364402495803896","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/jay75689/status/1921364402495803896 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297628"],"_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-68a75091e2afc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1297628' first='Torie' last='Martin'] can scoot, he has some of the best footwork I have seen recently. The all conference back jumped up all the way to our 79th overall ranking for the 2026 class. He is a patient back who needs just a little daylight and he is off! Numerous times last year and in their scrimmage against West Springfield this week, he showed everyone his game changing speed. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/TorieMartin_20/status/1958999492470161618","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/TorieMartin_20/status/1958999492470161618 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["853853"],"_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-68a75091e2b4c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Old Dominion bound all world receiver [player_tooltip player_id='853853' first='TaySean' last='Jones'] is back after toppling the 1000 yard mark last year. He will most likely be a tight end at the next level and I love the way the Eagles use him offensively. When they set up a screen for Jones he is rumbles and moves down the field very nicely. I could see him transitioning to an all conference tight end a year from for the Monarchs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1645084"],"_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-68a75091e2b97"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Top 100 ranked and still gaining is [player_tooltip player_id='1645084' first='Jeremiah' last='Wise'], he is a shutdown corner. Most recently picking up an offer from Chowan University, Wise did not allow a touchdown last fall. You may already know about his work on defense, but this past week in the Eagles scrimmage he was lined up at wideout and of course he made plays. Playing Wise both ways as a senior may get him the proper recognition from Division 1 coaches that he deserves. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JeremiahWise19/status/1873050830901002490","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JeremiahWise19/status/1873050830901002490 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297710"],"_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-68a75091e2c13"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anchoring a big offensive line is [player_tooltip player_id='1297710' first='Matthew' last='Paternostro'] at 6'3 and 280 lbs.. Underrated a bit perhaps, Paternostro is a top ranked offensive lineman. He has a lot of interested from division 3 schools but to me he is a division 2 prospect or hihger. Salisbury is the most recent to offer and all the PSAC should be on his tail. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/MattOzOfficial/status/1945542651115159822","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MattOzOfficial/status/1945542651115159822 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
