He's smart, quick, physical, and plays through the whistle. Clopper displays good upfield burst off the snap, utilizing multiple moves, including the rip and swim. His quickness creates challenges for offensive tackles as he consistently pressures the pocket. Add him to your recruiting board. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/aclop74/status/1990631026314432764?s=20","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/aclop74/status/1990631026314432764?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1651685"],"_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-695a880183658"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1651685' first='Jackson' last='McGlone'] broke out in a significant way this season. Earning our All-State team award. I expect him to garner more attention statewide in 2026. McGlone is a solid route runner with the potential to be a YAC threat. He showcases solid hand-eye coordination and body control, allowing him to make adjustments mid-route. He's also a high-motor, physical linebacker who can cover the entire field.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JMcglone52035/status/1997769889302606333?s=20","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/JMcglone52035/status/1997769889302606333?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1745506"],"_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-695a8801837c5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1745506' first='Hayden' last='Christenberry'] is another prospect to add to the recruiting board.

He's a rhythmic thrower and a dual-threat quarterback with solid mechanics and effective footwork when operating outside the pocket. He can hurt you with his legs and evade post-snap pressure due to good pocket mobility. Keep an eye on him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/QB1Kj3/status/1995291103957037377?s=20","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/QB1Kj3/status/1995291103957037377?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
