He also has quickness and a burst to make defenders miss. Pine-Richland vs. Peters Township will be a heavyweight match-up.

He is a match-up piece who plays all over the field. His ability to fly around from his safety position is outstanding. He is great at reading and reacting to the play and attacking upfield or dropping into pass coverage. He is also a good blitzer who is outstanding on blitzes from the safety position.

His ability to fire off the ball and be disruptive is impressive. An example is how they try to run the ball away from him, and he still comes from the backside to make plays. He also shows excellent pass-rushing moves, and that, coupled with his athleticism, makes him a dynamic player. Playing against a good Steel Valley team, Loritts will need to be dominant the entire game to get the victory.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="pl" dir="ltr">Senior Regular Szn film <a href="https://twitter.com/210ths?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@210ths</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PA_TodaySports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PA_TodaySports</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/7Twice?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@7twice</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/theking1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@theking1</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/NextLevelAtFit?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NextLevelAtFit</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Evolve7v7?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Evolve7v7</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/A_Wyz21?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@A_Wyz21</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/RyanSnyderOn3?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RyanSnyderOn3</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/SLS_Football?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SLS_Football</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/adamgorney?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@adamgorney</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/SWiltfong_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SWiltfong_</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/KDKARadio?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@KDKARadio</a> <a href="https://t.co/SDIFnciWjw">https://t.co/SDIFnciWjw</a> <a href="https://t.co/4IOuPAUrVx">pic.twitter.com/4IOuPAUrVx</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='646780' first='Aaron' last='Loritts'] (@Aaron1Loritts_) <a href="https://twitter.com/Aaron1Loritts_/status/1982838534844358852?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 27, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["388160"],"_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-691e65cedebfd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There are athletes, and then there is [player_tooltip player_id='388160' first='Da'Ron' last='Barksdale']. The kid is a touchdown waiting to happen every time he touches the ball. His ability to take it to the house anytime he touches the ball is impressive. He has a great feel for a running back as he knows how to hit the hole and gain good rushing lanes. Then, as a safety, he is the human vacuum cleaner as he cleans up everything that comes through and makes plays. He is an incredible tackler and ball hawk. You can easily see him being a great player in college. He needs to continue to play well to help Steel Valley win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">My Mid-Season Film Dropped ⬇️⬇️ <br>18 TD 843 Rushing Yards 3 TFL 1 INT 38 TCKLS 23 SOLO 🍁🔪 5 GAMES<a href="https://twitter.com/DulinOlando?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DulinOlando</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/sharkomartin?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@sharkomartin</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/210ths?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@210ths</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/On3sports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@On3sports</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/ToogyB_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ToogyB_</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Evolve7v7?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Evolve7v7</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PghSportsNow?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PghSportsNow</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/wpialsportsnews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@wpialsportsnews</a> <a href="https://t.co/iCkxM4950h">https://t.co/iCkxM4950h</a></p>&mdash; Da'Ron“Daedae”Barksdale⚡️3⭐️DB (@DaronBarksdale) <a href="https://twitter.com/DaronBarksdale/status/1972389428879569024?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 28, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>WPIAL 1A Championship: Clairton vs. Laurel </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1623754"],"_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-691e73416e2bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1623754' first='Jaece' last='Booker'] is a ballhawk safety for Clairton.
