takes long strides can be beat to the sidleine; prbably a lineman at next level; doe snot flip hips or change directions all that well, ok for size though; rangely, covers a lot of ground in pass coverage; ok tackler, height makes it difficult for him; will run into and bully people like a ton of bricks - how will this translate to the next level; reads keys fairly well, gets over the top a bit slow</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='2004687' first='Dylan' last='Bundick'] 6'2" 190 DL Notre Dame</td><td>End, scrapes down the line well; chases and prursues well; must get set sooner; can maintain separation against most linmen, just extends them and does not pop; have not seen a block shed move; poor tackling; evades oncoming blockers when tring to spill</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='1938148' first='Dylan' last='Cerciello'] 5'5" 150 DB Saddle Brook</td><td>Will throw body to make tackle, rather than wrap; pursues well, tracks hip well from backside; safety perhaps; will try to make play from underneath at times and chase; jumps well; catches with body</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='1453903' first='Dylan' last='Cohen'] 6'0" 190 LB Wall</td><td>Runs full force into ball carriers, tackles high; reads eyes of quaterback in pass coverage; solid tackler whwne going low, does not really initiate or force the issue on tackles though;</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='1974144' first='Dylan' last='DeNobile'] 6'2" 195 LB Northern Highlands</td><td>Slow plays the pass rush until he gets closer to zero in; changes speed when entering the backfield; might get beat on prolonged wheel routes - if thrown quickly he is in good position; plays the bands of a receiver if he is beat; wrapping and tacklign can improve - throws himself and tries to grab/hold on - want to see a wrap and a drive; ruby tackle is ok; can get pushed of the line if playing it straight/head up; works an arm under to pursue the ball; solid player wont kill you, always in good position</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='2004704' first='Dylan' last='Hoff'] 5'10" 250 DL Audubon</td><td>When squeezing want to see more hands on and engage in backfield; good recongtion of reach blocks; edge player; center, lets his matchup ride themselves upfield, will let them beat himself; stops feet at times when pass rushing; standup player; when engaged at LOS needs to move feet, stuck in mud at moments</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='1556638' first='Dylan' last='Sheehan'] 6'2" 170 DB Schalick</td><td>Safety, plays alley to force back effectively, uses hands; gets low when tackling, may duck head; want to see him shoot. more when tackling; poor/little film, clips out early; no single tape</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='1776754' first='Dymear' last='Hill'] 5'9" 145 WR/ATH Camden Eastside</td><td>Able to take advantage of lax defenders, get into soft spaces beyond the secndary for easy yardage; can jump and leap over diving defenders; uses hands to catch the ball; completes well for 5050 balls, especially for a shorter receiver; can get nifty and made screaming defenders miss; able to make acrobatic catches; not seeing speed or quickness you would like from someone his size</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='1282546' first='Elias' last='Pagan'] 5'11" 155 DB Pennsauken</td><td>WR watches to receive ball on screens; has some wiggle to navigate tight spaces on screens; safety, spys QB; will make a play on ball when desprate/trailing a ball carrier; a bit late to the pass, does not really read anything; fits well as a tackler; sinks hips slightly; does not attack ball when at WR; a bit raw, shows flashes of good play on both sides of the ball; ball skills in terms of playing it, rather than making a play on it - deflects a lot of passes</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Final 2026 Player Rankings Release</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/01/final-2026-player-rankings-film-evaluation-notes-part-i/">Film Evaluation Notes, Part I</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/01/final-2026-player-rankings-film-evaluation-notes-part-ii">Film Evaluation Notes, Part II</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/01/final-2026-player-rankings-film-evaluation-notes-part-iii">Film Evaluation Notes, Part III</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/01/final-2026-player-rankings-film-evaluation-notes-part-iv">Film Evaluation Notes, Part IV</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/01/final-2026-player-rankings-film-evaluation-notes-part-v">Film Evaluation Notes, Part V</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/01/final-2026-player-rankings-film-evaluation-notes-part-vi">Film Evaluation Notes, Part VI</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/01/final-2026-player-rankings-film-evaluation-notes-part-vii">Film Evaluation Notes, Part VII</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
