Doubles as a DB/RB at Farrell. Hudl shows he runs track and plays basketball at Farrell, two positives from a recruiting perspective. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Safety prospect who has a two-minute season tape up on Hudl. First two reps have Cain reading and reacting to plays in his zone, with Cain ending each rep with huge downhill hits, fumbles and PBUs were the result. Great closing speed, both in pass coverage against passing concepts on his side of the field, as well as in run support coming downhill. First rep on offense proves Cain is equally valued as a play maker, with the junior catching a hitch under ten yards and taking said hitch the distance for a score. Dynamic two-way impact player, one who will rank well among his 2027 peers. Excited to learn more.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/DoreanCain8/status/1970527520270258319","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/DoreanCain8/status/1970527520270258319 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1908273"],"_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-68d59f3f0728f"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>A junior prospect out of South Western who can contribute in several different positions. Self reports a 3.36 GPA. 5'9, 165 pounds. Looks to be new on socials. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Posted a two-minute mid-season tape on Hudl recently. First rep on tape has McMillion blitzing off the edge as an unblocked LB in the box. A rep in which McMillion gets home for a sack. Progression through his tape proves McMillion can be trusted by the South Western brass to drop into coverage from the box and play passing zones, McMillion does so with the result being an interception. An unblocked sack and an interception are great, yet his first rep showcasing his ability to stop the run is really what excites me. McMillion can set himself up to avoid the flow of traffic and get to the ball carrier before run lanes can develop. Great form tackler. Smart football player who understands how to play with discipline. Blends DB and LB traits well. Will be ranked in time. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/blake_mcmil23/status/1972381334594310227","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/blake_mcmil23/status/1972381334594310227 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1908269"],"_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-68d59f3f0730d"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Saw his name cross my timeline while writing up Lampeter-Strasburg QB [player_tooltip player_id='1848430' first='Asher' last='Jones']. 6'2, 210 pounds.

Self-reports a 3.0 GPA. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Posted a brief first-three tape on Hudl about two weeks prior to writing this piece. First rep on tape has McQueen head-up on a tackle, with McQueen winning via an outside-in spin that would lead to a sack. Moves well for a 6'2, 210-pound prospect. You can see the head-up on tackle 3-4 DE alignment often on tape. Looks to win inside, occupies the B-gap well. Would love to learn if McQueen can rush off the edge. It's tough to learn in a 3-4 look, but learning if McQueen could flash speed and bend at 6'2 ", 210 would bolster his stock on our site.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Nolan_McQueen11/status/1965365156759920960","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/Nolan_McQueen11/status/1965365156759920960 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1908278"],"_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-68d59f3f0737b"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Self reports a 3.9 GPA. 6'3, 265 pounds. Can be tasked with working in several positions inside both trenches. Is a wrestler at Canon-McMillan. Relatively new to Twitter. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Has two separate mid-season tapes, both equal length, both showing off Rush's two-way prowess. I personally am of the side that wishes prospects would combine the best of both offensive and defensive reps. That being said, I applaud Rush for having ample tape readily available. Because of my personal OL projection based on Rush's H/W combination, I decided to take a peek at his offensive tape first. Serves as Canon-McMillan's starting center, big for the position, and it shows. Consistently wins his blocks against opposing IDLs. Holds his blocks well, great grip strength, and leg drive. Said leg drive has Rush pancaking a few after getting his backside in the hole. A combo-capable center. Length helps with reach blocks when run blocking. Keeps his pad level relatively low, which is a plus for a 6'3 center. Unsure if he's a DL or IOL at the next level, yet I'm intrigued with Rush nonetheless. Has some pass-pro reps sprinkled into his tape to boot. Great player.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/OwenTheBeast90/status/1969968582801969495","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/OwenTheBeast90/status/1969968582801969495 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
