The Quiet Grind: The Best Players You Haven’t Heard About Yet

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article, I'm highlighting some players who deserve to be on college radars. All of them have superb skills that would help elevate a D1 to D2 program. They might have fallen under your radar, however today I am bringing these gems out from hiding. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1632904"],"_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-690183983121d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Camping first landed on my radar from our PRZ Stock Up Showcase. The 6'5 220-pound tight end has prototypical size. Throughout the season, he has 35 receptions for 347 yards and 2 touchdowns. He's been punting as well with 17 punts for 447 yards and his longest being 56 yards. He has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, jumping, and change of direction. Very good release. Very good separation quickness due to his athletic ability, play strength, and mental processing. He'll out run the defender, or out muscle the defender. He will find an open void, turn around, and sit patiently for the easy catch. Camping has polished route running skills. Very good body adjustment and body control. Very good catching, and strong hands. Camping has a very large catch radius, and extends, plucks, and catches. Good trucking for extra yards. Camping is a premier blocker too. Very good strength, with very good hand placement and hand strength. Locks up his opponent with ease. Camping just received his first D1 offer from Toledo, and it will be the first of many for the breakout tight end. He's already one of the best tight ends in Colorado in my humble opinion.</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":"Matias Salcedo","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"205","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Cherry Creek","_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-6901839831342"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Salcedo is a beast who is just getting started. The 6'1 205-pound linebacker from Cherry Creek has 83 total tackles (28 solo, 55 assisted), 3 TFL, 2 FF, and 2 sack. Salcedo is the complete package at linebacker.

He has 11 receptions for 220 yards and 3 touchdowns on the season. Kincaid has good athletic ability due to very good speed, jumping, good acceleration, and change of direction.

He has 47 total tackles (4 solo, 40 assisted), 12 TFL, and 3 sacks. Dorsey plays inside and outside the tackles. Good strength with good hand placement and hand strength. Good hand speed to engage with the offensive lineman first. Very good get off speed and good block shedding. Good bull rush. Dorsey will put his hands up to create pass deflections at the line of scrimmage. One thing about his play is his relentless pursuit. He'll chase ball carriers down 20 + downfield to either assist or make the tackle. He's a great player in the trenches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
