Nate’s Big Dogs of the Game: Holy Family

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We end our Monday night by shooting out our scouting reports we gathered in our notebook from the Holy Family Fire. Plenty of two-way athletes that made noise, a couple new names, and more that caught our attention on Friday night in Victoria.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1547262"],"_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-68db0e3f78703"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ethan had to deal with significant pressure most of the night against Annandale but put together a handful of nice reps airing it out for the Holy Family offense. His best throws were seen at the second level of the field and over the middle of the field, due to Annandale's length in the secondary. What stood out with those throws Ethan made were with finish of his throw and were well-versed with his timing on one particular drive. Something to look at from an upside perspective, is Holy Family's top two wide receivers are a junior and a sophomore, so Ethan as a junior is going to get ample time to contiue to build chemistry with that receiving core. I bet if Holy Family meets Annandale again in the playoffs, the gel between Ethan and those two wide receivers will be even more fluid in my eyes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1631515"],"_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-68db0e3f7875e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top grades I had from Friday night from Holy Family came from 2027 LB/RB [player_tooltip player_id='1631515' first='Levi' last='Trout'] who was solid on both sides of the for the Fire. We saw him a new role on Friday night playing defensive end and the reps I saw especially the swiftness with his hands getting of blocks to eat up the ball carriers from the Cardinals. In more a fullback role on offense, Levi certainly didn't look like the fullback due to the agile movement he was able to make as a east-west runner. He certainly was a prospect on both sides of the ball that was more elusive in the live eval than I was expecting as the 6'0 195 pounder like I said, graded in my top tier for Holy Family.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Noah Galvin","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"155","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Holy Family","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68db0e3f78816"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the new names that caught my attention from the Fire on both sides of the ball was 2026 athlete Noah Galvin. I was most impressed with Noah as a linebacker, as I felt he had a consistent nose for the football and got his number called a lot around the ball especially slowing down the run game, which he was usually one of the first on contact around the line of scrimmage. On the offensive side of the ball, Noah showed off his best work once he got in the red zone as he appeared to me as one that was a grinder for hard earned yards in the inside box. He was one that showed off good vision in those tight windows and played bigger than his measurables showed off.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311587"],"_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-68db0e3f78861"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Breck had the highest grade I had on defense for Holy Family on Friday night and rolling back the tape, it's easy to see why that was. He had the biggest momentum shifter all night for the Holy Family Fire defense as he utiliized his instincts very well to read the quarterback's eyes and identify where he was going with the ball and locked in the interception. Breck also had the biggest spark I caught as far as contact as he might be 5'10 165 pounds, but this kid can pack a punch on contact. Whoever lands Breck certainly should be impressed with his football IQ as he has a plethora of NAIA and D3 offers throughout the Midwest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1651475"],"_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-68db0e3f788a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kevin was the youngest prospect I have in my scouting reports from Friday night yet showed off some intriguing flashes with his skillsets that I saw in the receiving game. One thing that popped out right away is the wingspan that this young man has as I would love to know how long he stretches out to as Kevin showed on one reception just how long he appears to be. He also shows off plenty of length with his route-running from what I grasped from the live eval on Friday night and was more agile on his cuts than we had expected. I would love to see him get more opportunities in high-traffic areas like I saw, as there was a plethora of skillsets that I liked about Kevin. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1632982"],"_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-68db0e3f78907"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another two-way prospect that caught my attention from Holy Family on Friday night was [player_tooltip player_id='1632982' first='Maxwell' last='Simpson'] in their 2027 class. Man, was this kid a problem in pass coverage from the bulk of the reps I got to watch as he was consistently pestering the wide receivers he went up against. Maxwell is one that played with an overwhelming presence in 1v1 coverage and I also saw flashes of what his ball-tracking ability looked like on a handful of reps. He's not the biggest two-way prospect you will ever see, but I loved the chip on the shoulder instincts Maxwell played with on both sides of the ball on Friday night in Victoria.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
