2027 Player Rankings Update: Evaluation Scouting Notes, Part XV

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.

absorb a shot and not ge tknocked back; feet mus timprove</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='570944' first='Zachari' last='Rosario'] 5'7" 230 OL/DL Passaic County Technical Institute</td><td>Has a nasty streak; keeps workingand coming at you; loads hands and tries to get a low, upward pop into your chest; a bit out of control, a better base will clean that up; center;

player_id='1668753' first='Zachary' last='Wugman'] 6'1" 220 LB Depaul Catholic</td><td>Gator rolls well, may give up force leverage against scrambling quarterbacks; takes drops and keeps droppping, shown to play with head on swivvel; times blitz and makes him difficult to block might have been a varsity rotational player, JV film appears to be on his tape; uses shoulder to deal with oncoming blocekrs, does not use hands; wraps well, seems like a solid tackler; puts his all into KO and KOR; blocked a kick; seems to understand role on team and is bought into the program and brotherhood of it all; hav enot seen him play down hill as a run stopper yet, a lot of clips of him in pass coverage</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='751492' first='Zakai' last='Murphy'] 6'0" 170 WR Don Bosco Prep</td><td>Varsity slot receiver; can separate over the middle against slot/safties; runs very good route depth to creae space for himself; uses hands to catch, extends arms; tracks ball over his shoulder nicely; unsure of his top end speed; want to see more hip sink on 90 degree breaking routes; more body fakes would be nice to see; size mismatch for seco nd level defenders; solid player, used a lot in intermediate game</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='1267838' first='Zamir' last='Davis'] 5'10" 175 RB West Deptford</td><td>Wing back; a bit too patient, will stop and wait for the whole he wants to open, but what if there is not a backup plan? total upright runner, uses stiff arm to crete space and deflect diving tacklers; can adjust and play ball well in the air when asked to run the ball; looks a bit bigger than expected on film; uses his free hand well when carrying the ball; has good balance, can asborb hits and keep going, staying upright too; unsure of the competition level he played; do not see a lot of forward lean when running; does not pin the ball, rocks it when he runs</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2027 Player
