Self-reports a 3.5 GPA. Performed well at my colleague's premier camp, speaking of Ed O'Brien's All-State Preps Showcase. Up ten pounds since the off-season. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Four single-game cut-ups available on Hudl. Cardinal O'Hara, Cardinal Newman, DeMatha, SCH are just a handful of teams where Wright produced against. No mid-season tape, so I watched his two most recent games to get a better feel for his overall game. Hand in the dirt in a 3-3-5 front. Off the edge. First rep against O'Hara shows off instincts off the snap, length to break up a pass at the LOS. Great presser with momentum, can drive tackles back with a rush that takes a good path to QBs. An edge disruptor who does a surprisingly good job slowing down the rush attack, too. Slippery on inside stunts, can get skinny, penetration, and disruption are his calling card. Aligns in a Roman front that can throw a ton of different looks at you. Someone who was left unblocked off the edge against DeMatha, great discipline and diagnostic skills in these situations. High grade.&nbsp;</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/AJWright___/status/1974895327506550998","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/AJWright___/status/1974895327506550998 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["953529"],"_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-68e7fa41f3338"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>6'3, 290 pounds. Right guard for La Salle College. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>No tape on Hudl until six days prior to writing. Has reps against PCC, SJP, and Calvert Hall up for coaches to see.  Reps against CH are brief, but exemplary. Thick lower half. Shoulders are broad enough. I dig into his measurables because tape has him grading out to the D1 level. Already a suitable build for the guard position, meets the criteria/threshold. Great functional strength, a ton of positive pass-pro reps on tape. Redirects inside counters or stunts well, short-area change of direction skills are a huge plus for a player almost pushing 300 pounds. Hips aren't too tight from what I can tell. Want to see more production to really solidify the D1 claim, the La Salle program has a deep history of developing great OL. Witnessed resetting vs. rushes into his chest, great feet, and can shoot his hands to replace and anchor. Great vision and understanding of defensive games/stunts, who to pick up. Intriguing prospect.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/CBernesky/status/1975594840353345646","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/CBernesky/status/1975594840353345646 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1942292"],"_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-68e959e9825b2"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>6'1, 225 pounds. 4.1 GPA. Posted sophomore tape just two months ago, this the reason for him not being on our database. Formerly out of Shaler Area. Picked up an FBS offer via Eastern Michigan recently. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Soph season tape posted late. On radar now. Has seven single-game tapes readily available. I recommend making a mid-season tape for coaches to watch ASAP, yet he's clearly gaining traction in the recruiting world regardless. Has enough tape to do so. Took a look at his two most recent tapes for the brief eval. Norwin's tape has Tapu strictly on special teams. PCC is loaded, so I won't take two-way special teams reps for granted. Can see him work against Shaler Area, where he aligns as a 4-2-5 DE. Gets inside pressure/penetration via inside stunt/game. Recorded a sack off the edge against another player mentioned in this piece. Gets wide with the intent to single out opposing tackles to eventually win with lateral quickness and agility. Tough player who keys run plays well, great motor and effort witnessed with each rep. NA tape shows what he's capable of with his hand off the dirt, as well as more special teams reps, excited to see more.&nbsp;</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Tapu_S27/status/1971981189046325286","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/Tapu_S27/status/1971981189046325286 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1942293"],"_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-68e959e98260c"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>6'1, 230 pounds. Self reports a 3.1 GPA. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Only has one lengthy clip of quality reps against Central Catholic. Nothing prior, nothing after. Enough to land on our watch list, but want to see more. Left tackle in a spread system. Wide splits. Does a good job getting depth off the snap. Was tasked with blocking serious talent off the edge, Hudl shows he did a respectable job doing so. Consistent arm extension makes it tough for opposing DL to get into Jordan's chest when pass pro. Can't make enough of a judgment based on one game, however. Profile will be created, will check back in each week.&nbsp;</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/VinnyJordan6/status/1975003717947756870","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/VinnyJordan6/status/1975003717947756870 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1949458"],"_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-68eaa7a03aec0"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>6'3, 250 pounds. Self reports a 3.9 GPA. Team Captain at Fort LeBoeuf. Doubles as a two-way trench player. Has some impressive weight room clips available on X. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Five single-game cut-ups up on Hudl. Took a look at his Fairview and General McLane tapes, both are most recent entries on Hudl. 3-4 IDL, who is often too big and strong for opposing guards/centers to handle. Witnessed blowing up plays via interior penetration. Right tackle for the program, comfortable in an island at this level of competition, wide splits. Punishing down blocker. Mean streak, finishes with attitude. Seeks at the second level well. Plays to the whistle, can drive kids off the ball with a flat back. 3-4 IDL and 3-4 DE capable. Raw as a defender, a bit more natural as a tackle. Fun player to watch. Would love to see him in a camp setting. Easily rankable. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/carson_sto77302/status/1975736781011362107","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/carson_sto77302/status/1975736781011362107 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
