Then, when the play breaks down, he shows off his athleticism by running around to make a play. What I love about the way he plays as a quarterback is that he can keep his eyes downfield. He can also take off for run plays as well. Harris has the skills to improve even more this season. He also already has offers from Penn and Princeton. I could also expect more offers to come his way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AGTG?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AGTG</a> After a conversation with <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachDupont?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachDupont</a> I am beyond blessed to announce that I have received my first Division 1 offer from the University of Pennsylvania <a href="https://twitter.com/PennFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PennFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachJTurner1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachJTurner1</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/bhaire13?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@bhaire13</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/210ths?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@210ths</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/wpialsportsnews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@wpialsportsnews</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PH_Athletics?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PH_Athletics</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachChuck06?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachChuck06</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/RivalsFriedman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RivalsFriedman</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Greg_Mcghee2?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Greg_Mcghee2</a> <a href="https://t.co/q7wvZG5Afq">pic.twitter.com/q7wvZG5Afq</a></p>&mdash; Devin “🎯” Harris (@XxlDevin) <a href="https://twitter.com/XxlDevin/status/1876314044485050614?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 6, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1182880"],"_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-68a2637ed1f2b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1182880' first='Joey' last='Lutz'] is a good linebacker for North Hills. His ability to read his keys and then attack upfield is impressive. He also shows a good ability to make tackles in or near the line of scrimmage. The other thing I like about his film is his ability to play as a pass defender. He is good at dropping in coverage and taking away passing lanes from the quarterback. Lutz also shows a good ability to run sideline-to-sideline chasing plays all over the field. Lutz is a big-hitting linebacker who has the skills to improve even more this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Junior season highlight tape <br>103 total tackles <br>16 TFLs<br>6.5 sacks <br>3 FF<br>1PBU <br>3.8 GPA<br>(Team leading tackler) <a href="https://t.co/icAqUyR6XH">https://t.co/icAqUyR6XH</a><br> @BZangaro21 <a href="https://twitter.com/Mr_LTroke?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Mr_LTroke</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/wpialsportsnews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@wpialsportsnews</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BallHawkMedia1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BallHawkMedia1</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PAELITE7v7?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PAELITE7v7</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PA_TodaySports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PA_TodaySports</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/210ths?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@210ths</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/WPIAL_Insider?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WPIAL_Insider</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/toby_lux?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@toby_lux</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/ironcityselect?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ironcityselect</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1182880' first='Joey' last='Lutz'] (@JoeyLutz10) <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeyLutz10/status/1853418358328144221?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 4, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1624012"],"_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-68a2637ed1f75"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1624012' first='Charles' last='Hart'] is a good playmaker on both sides of the ball as a linebacker and running back.
