2027 Player Rankings Update: Evaluation Scouting Notes, Part XIV

To the best of my knowledge, I know two things to be true when it comes to player rankings. First, Prep Redzone is the industry leader in state-by-state depth when it comes to rankings. Second, Prep Redzone New Jersey – specifically – is the unabashed leader in sharing our evaluation ranking notes.   In this series you will find our unedited, raw ranking notes for nearly 200 new additions to the class of 2027's final rankings. The notes are being rolled out alphabetically by first name, so stay tuned and be sure to follow as we release them.   *Please note that these notes are, indeed, raw and likely contain typos due to the volume of notes.

Ewing</td><td>Burst off the ball, very good get off - quick and violent; has endurance and speed to run around and chase quarterbacks all over the place; needs to break down when tackling, runs full

player_id='1562051' first='Ubrig' last='Kurtz'] 6'2" 225 DL Holy Spirit</td><td>Nose; works hands up and above eys, sheds down; inconsistent tackler in terms of technique; can get low and cause disruption; looks like he comes out of his hips a bit; shown a rip to run of of reach, will hustle and pursue plays way down field; must step and squeeze tighter when unblocked; must spin back sooner when pocket oversets; can walk certain offensive lineman backwards while maintaining half gap</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='1523185' first='Vincent' last='D'Ambrosio'] 5'11" 165 DB/RB

does not get enough power; hs length along the interior; may get washed, but senses pressure and spins back against it; needs to disengage with a rip since it seems as though he is asked to slant often; need to wrap lower, tackles high righ tnow; have not seen him work his hands yet in either pass rush or to estalbsihed new LOS; familar with line stunts, gets to his gap and eyes are correct; must recognize his visual key pulling and fight across the face of back blockers, not run around the back blocker; very, super raw</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='1270705' first='Vish' last='Turner'] 5'10" 165 WR Atlantic City</td><td>Quick off the line, can make a high point catch with hands while adjusting; seems quicker than fast, looks like he really is motoring on film; adjusts

of a defense; unafraid to go over th emiddle; runs behinds his pads; want to see him set up blockers a bit better</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='1540506' first='Xyere' last='Brooks'] 5'9" 175 RB Kipp Cooper Norcross</td><td>Will go head first into a pile and keep legs churning to gain yardage; can high point the ball and uses his hands to catch it; has speed to gain the edge beating LBs there and can turn up the entire sideline; unsure of the level of competition he plays; rocks ball, carries it low; will cut across the entire field; linebacker, technique tackling can improve;
