Six minutes worth of production, great for an underclassman. Basis of this evaluation comes from said tape. DE/IDL in a traditional 3-4 look. Can shade or align head-up anywhere between the B-gaps. Some reps aligned as a true DT in a 4 down-linemen look, too. I think the young man has a future at center, however. It's likely the position we rank him at in the coming months. A build suitable for the position. Great <span>hand placement</span> off the snap, great displacement of opposing defenders by the time the whistle blows. Witnessed working in trap variations that have Costello pulling (limited depth) into B-gaps to seal off a shaded IDL or even a second-level LB. IDL reps keep Costello fluid on both sides of the ball. Excited to see a complete tape out of the Trinity sophomore moving forward. He should rank well among 2028 OCs. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/jackcostello72/status/1970818830466424927","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/jackcostello72/status/1970818830466424927 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1744758"],"_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-68d8a3d53f005"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>6'0, 220 pounds. 4.0 GPA. The second sophomore center mentioned in this piece. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>posted a brief mid-season tape three weeks ago, has three single-game cut-ups readily available after his mid-season. Bouts against Fox Chapel, Mars, and Hempfield are all witnessed in his mid-season compilation. Carries a linebacker build, yet has the toughness and brains to be able to station at one of the offense's more important positions, that being center. Kellum faces an uphill battle, one he wins more often than not, being a bit undersized for the position. I'm going to need to see more production to grade Kellum beside his 2028 OL peers, yet his first tape is encouraging. I want to see more blocks being sustained, more positive reps showing off technical skills and footwork. Does Kellum have a mean streak? Can he play defense? Would love to learn more. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/KellumNola186/status/1970994196019544460","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/KellumNola186/status/1970994196019544460 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1918678"],"_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-68d8a3d53f051"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>6'1, 180 pounds. 4.05 GPA. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Has ample tape to dive into via Hudl. Tapes vary in length. I took the time to check out Kolling's mid-season tape, in hopes of ranking him among his 2028 QB peers. Mid-season film is two and a half minutes long. Love seeing Kolling work a traditional drop from under center, Thomas Jefferson's offense calls for heavy looks. Great deep ball accuracy, Kolling is witnessed hitting overs and corners both inside and outside the pocket. Kolling is clearly comfortable working play-action sets too, several splash plays come via working PA. An emphasis on timing, Kolling has built good rapport with his targets. You can see the chemistry on full display watching Kolling lead his targets away from coverage. Timing and rhythm is a plus when hitting comebacks and out routes toward the sideline. Not everything Kolling produces come from an under-center look, he can get the job done in a spread/shotgun look as well, a few of these reps are sprinkled into his tape. Great first look at a new name on our site. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/HarrisonKolling/status/1971373738823385413","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/HarrisonKolling/status/1971373738823385413 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1814942"],"_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-68d8a3d53f099"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Right now, there's no Hudl film, no online presence, and not much publicly available to break down, but word out of the program paints a promising picture. Those around him say he's coming along, putting the work in, and making real progress. Once the tape drops and we can see that growth firsthand, he'll have a legitimate shot at graduating from our watch list and carving out a place in the rankings.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1901442"],"_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-68d8a3d53f0e2"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>5'11, 240 pounds. A two-way trench player at Dieruff HS. Self-reports a 3.0 GPA.

I've paid close attention to the Northeastern area of Pennsylvania, my attention has been focused on finding new names in the area, I may have found one in Roman. That being said, I don't have much to work with for the time being. Hopefully, I can check back in on the sophomore DL/OL in a few weeks and see something worth watching on Hudl. Once I do, I'll update his profile evaluation. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/donavandroman_/status/1964776466463543336","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/donavandroman_/status/1964776466463543336 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
