<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The New England class of 2028 boasts a wealth of talent. While several players are already well known, others are still establishing themselves. The players highlighted below had breakout 2025 seasons and showcased their skills in impressive game footage. This article will analyze their performances, emphasize their strengths, and offer suggestions for continued improvement during the off-season to enhance their recruitment process.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2108083"],"_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-694d88fe0c372"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After reviewing DiMeco's 2025 season highlights, he emerges as a promising underclassman back with natural elusiveness. Strengths include running with a low pad level for balance and quick directional changes to evade pursuit. He explodes off handoffs with burst, employs varied jukes and spins to make defenders miss, and secures the ball tightly in traffic. Versatility shines in the passing game, where he catches cleanly and generates YAC with shifty moves. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">On special teams, his vision, sharp cuts, and speed allow him to burst upfield and outrun coverage. Weaknesses center on physicality: at 180 lbs, he struggles to break tackles consistently and finish runs through contact, often getting dragged down. Suggestions: Prioritize offseason strength training—focus on lower-body power and core stability to enhance tackle-breaking ability and run-finishing explosiveness. Add mass without sacrificing agility. Overall, DiMeco is a solid, high-upside RB with multi-phase potential. With targeted development, he could attract interest from college programs early. Watch for growth in 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BaronDimec19471/status/1993767476723618099","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/BaronDimec19471/status/1993767476723618099 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1257789"],"_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-694c2a48bbced"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dom demonstrates strong instincts, playing with excellent vision and a natural nose for the ball. His quick feet allow him to navigate space effectively, sidestep blockers, and close on carriers rapidly. Tackling is a plus—he wraps up securely and demonstrates solid pursuit angles. Areas for growth include adding strength; another year in the weight room will enhance his ability to shed tackles and deliver more explosive hits. He's already improved over last season, suggesting significant upside. Recommendation: Focus on building power through targeted lifting and agility drills. Senske projects as a versatile LB at the college level if development continues.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19865093/6929d95e84423567d9906d1d' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-694c2a48bbd1b"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1329865"],"_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-694c2a48bbd7b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Syer is a compact, versatile athlete who played a pivotal role in his team's deep playoff run. His highlights showcase a do-it-all contributor on offense, defense, and special teams. Copeland excels as a runner, maintaining low pad level to absorb contact and burst upfield with elusiveness, making him tough to bring down. He's effective in wildcat formations and as a receiving back, displaying good hands and vision. Defensively, he thrives in space with a natural ball-hawking instinct and sure tackling. His physicality and speed translate well to kick returns. His shorter stature can limit vision behind the line, occasionally leading to missed cutback lanes. While powerful, he lacks elite top-end speed for consistent home-run threats, and pass protection appears underdeveloped. Syer should focus on enhancing pass-blocking technique to boost appeal as a three-down back. Incorporate speed ladder drills for quicker acceleration and route-running polish for receiving versatility. Ideal for slotting into a power-spread offense at the college level, with potential D1 walk-on upside if measurables improve.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19740875/693453b634463cb1f9fdc6c1' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-694c2a48bbdb3"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1530040"],"_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-694c2a48bbe21"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After reviewing Dom's 2025 season highlights, he emerges as a promising young offensive lineman with solid fundamentals. Strengths include maintaining a wide base and low pad level, allowing him to engage defenders quickly with active hands and fluid footwork. He excels in pulling to the edge for kick-out blocks and combo schemes to reach the second level, demonstrating toughness and the ability to finish plays against current competition. However, Dom's frame and strength require development; he's currently undersized for bigger defenders, limiting his ability to dominate at the point of attack. I recommend Dom commits to an intensive offseason weight room program to build mass and power, targeting 15-20 pounds of muscle gain. Track physical growth and camp performances closely. Dom remains on Prep Redzone New England's Watch List as a player with college potential—monitor his progress college interest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/11300063/692a192684423567d9908a9c' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-694c2a48bbe5a"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1567805"],"_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-696c1c2e9bfab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After reviewing Christian's season highlights , where he primarily lined up at DB, several key traits stand out. He reacts swiftly to run support, showing willingness to engage physically and mix it up despite his frame. Loose hips allow him to flip directions fluidly, paired with very good short-area quickness and decent change-of-direction skills. HIs coverage is solid in both man and zone, with low tackling technique and a high motor that keeps him playing fast. He's more rugged than elite athletically, with decent leaping ability adding versatility. Christian lacks strength at the point of attack, which can hinder him against bigger blockers or receivers in press situations. I suggest he focus on strength training to build mass and power without sacrificing quickness—aim for 170-175 lbs. by next offseason. Incorporate more press-man drills to leverage his hips and quickness. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
