New Jersey Stock Up Showcase: Positional MVP Notes, Part I

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After a day or two to say "thanks," I was back on the grind. On Saturday, November 29, 2025 Prep Redzone was boots-on-the-ground in Jackson, New Jersey as we hosted our latest rendition of the Stock Up Showcase. Below are my notes from the position group referenced in this article's title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2068062"],"_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-693309141cf6a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top defensive backs in attendance was Timber Creek's [player_tooltip player_id='2068062' first='Felix' last='Ntawarubara']. A rising senior, Ntawarubara showed that he is just about ready to break through this coming fall. He showcased fluid hips and an excellent speed turn. Out of his breaks and turns he showed an immediate burst and breaks down in order to come to balance when tackling. One area to grow would be when getting his head around more efficiently.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1691089"],"_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-693309141cff3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A prospect that has kept me clued into his athletic happenings since his first ranking, Pacheco showed more of the same of what he put on film. Pacheco is very quick, with sound footwork, when slanting inside. Moreover, he manages to hit clean, strong rips that he routinely finishes. Pacheco's game will expand as he works counters off of his rip.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1574482"],"_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-693309141d05e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The little bit I caught of [player_tooltip player_id='1574482' first='Jake' last='Garrett'] left me impressed enough to name him amongst the positional MVP group. Garrett consistently had routine zip on the ball. In addition to this, he had very good ball placement when throwing to the flats. Sometimes tough throws at camps, he squeezed them in before defenders could jump those routes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1597956"],"_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-693309141d0aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A 2028 running back out of perennial NJIC power St. Mary's, [player_tooltip player_id='1597956' first='Johnny' last='Chirico'] had some of the best feet at this event. Chirico was able to dip and side-step out of danger in both indy and competition settings. I also thought that Chirico ran with outstanding pad level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Jersey Stock Up Showcase Coverage</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-jersey-stock-up-showcases-top-offensive-combine-performers">Top Combine Performances - Offense</a>, by Brendan Mankarious<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-jersey-stock-up-showcases-top-defensive-combine-performers">Top Combine Performances - Defense</a>, by Brendan Mankarious<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-jersey-stock-up-showcase-the-eye-test">The Eye Test</a>, by Brendan Mankarious<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-jersey-stock-up-showcase-positional-most-valuable-players">Positional MVPs</a>, by Brendan Mankarious<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-jersey-stock-up-showcase-positional-mvp-notes-part-i">Positional MVP Notes Part I</a>, by Brendan Mankarious<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-jersey-stock-up-showcase-defensive-back-notes">Defensive Back Notes</a>, by Brendan Mankarious<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-jersey-stock-up-showcase-defensive-line-notes">Defensive Line Notes</a>, by Brendan Mankarious<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-jersey-stock-up-showcase-linebacker-notes/">Linebacker Notes</a>, by Brendan Mankarious<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-jersey-stock-up-showcase-offensive-line-notes">Offensive Line Notes</a>, by Brendan Mankarious<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-jersey-stock-up-showcase-quarterback-notes-part-i">Quarterback Notes Part 1</a>, by Brendan Mankarious<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-jersey-stock-up-showcase-quarterback-notes-part-ii">Quarterback Notes Part 2</a>, by Brendan Mankarious<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-jersey-stock-up-showcase-receiver-notes">Receiver Notes Part 1</a>, by Brendan Mankarious<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-jersey-stock-up-showcase-receiver-notes-part-ii">Receiver Notes Part 2</a>, by Brendan Mankarious<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/new-jersey-stock-up-showcase-running-back-notes">Running Back Notes</a>, by Brendan Mankarious<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/11/prep-redzone-nj-stock-up-showcase-qb-standouts/">QB Standouts</a>, by Cory Lemer<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/11/prep-redzone-nj-stock-up-showcase-standouts">Standouts</a>, by Cory Lemer<br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/12/standouts-pt-1-nj-prep-redzone-showcase-camp/">Standouts Part 1</a>, by Nick DeMaio</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
