With plus-length, the 2026 defensive lineman/linebacker uses it well to create separation between he and the opposing OL. A two-way player for the Blue Raiders, Antonelli -- though he stands at just 6-foot-1 and 205-pounds, holds down left tackle for Anamosa on offense, too. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1635070"],"_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-68f65b2625f9b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Probably the best athlete on Anamosa's roster with a frame to make plays, [player_tooltip player_id='1635070' first='Adam' last='Brophy'] didn't get the ball enough on Friday night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Catching just one pass and fair-catching two punts, Brophy should have had the ball in his hands much more for the Blue Raiders. The one catch he did make, Brophy reached out and snagged a reception on third-and-medium, gaining the first first down of the game for the Anamosa offense who struggled to get going. Doubling as a defensive back, Brophy finished the night with 7.5 tackles. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1370608"],"_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-68f65b2625fe3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of few players on the Anamosa roster who could make something happen with regularity on offense, [player_tooltip player_id='1370608' first='Hudson' last='Scranton'] led the way for the Blue Raiders on the ground.
