In his second game against North Rockland, he had a dominant day on the line for Curtis. The Senior lineman, is committed to Central Connecticut State for college and will continue to play football at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Serate, can play both sides of the ball, but fits a more defensive profile for Curtis, and at the next level. We were in attendance for his week one game against North Rockland, where he displayed incredible strength, and a high motor. I like his coach ability, as he made some mistakes during that game, but fixed his issues and made big defensive stops right after. Serate, stands at 6'2" 270-Pounds. He does a great job using his hands, and tracks the ball, keeping his eyes in the backfield at all times. CCSU is getting a beast on their DL next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Congratulations Jarrett!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1621875"],"_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-693b2bc9b4695"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hailing from upstate NY, Caldwell was a major threat on the Canisius defense this season, leading them to the Monsignor Martin Championship game against St. Francis. Caldwell will be taking his talents to Bryant next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Caldwell can play on both sides of the ball, but I mainly see him as a Defensive Lineman. He has a good frame for his size, and standing at 6'3" 275-Pounds, has a great blend of strength on the line. I like his hands, and he displays a solid tool bag, allowing him to utilize his skills to reach the backfield. His footwork is excellent, and he has fluid hips for his size. Bryant is a getting a monster on the Defensive side of the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Congratulations Javez!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["532839"],"_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-693b2bc9b470b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='532839' first='Trevor' last='Benjamin Jr'], is a massive threat on the football field. The Long Island Lutheran prospect, can play on both side of the ball, but mainly stars on Defense. Benjamin Jr, is taking his talents to Marist next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Trevor plays with a low base and gets hands on players quickly. He is strong enough to take on bigger lineman and quick enough to handle speed rushers. He has a good tool bag with his hands, and I like his burst off the whistle, as he reaches the POA, with speed and excellent footwork. Marist football, is getting a versatile lineman in Benjamin Jr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Congratulations Trevor!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
