must keep hands inside, seen his hands on the back at times; will wrestle and rangle up top to toss,r ather than drive feet; see him do a bit of catching at the LOS; base gets narrow and he gets upright; snaps, and then steps; not one for driving his feet</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='1514619' first='Lucas' last='Favorito'] 6'1" 260 DL Southern Regional</td><td>Big body used off the edge and in the middle; sort of looks like he hesitates when he runs; throws off blockers well; decent ackel, gator rolls well; understands and fights pressure well; seems to see things clearly in terms of PAP and screens; used often in line stunts</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='1939193' first='Lucas' last='Frank'] WR Becton</td><td>Completes catch through contact and hits; has sideline awareness, can make catches in tight spaces along the boundary; can make diving catches; high points the ball very well, uses hands</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='1891847' first='Luke' last='Senatore'] 5'10" 180 QB Fort Lee</td><td>Will take a big hit in order to delive rthe ball; winds up and a slow release; manages to get ball, safely, to receivers who are in soft spot behind level 2 and in front of level 3; tough runner; competition was poor - his receivers consistently get behind people; not much power in lower half- gets the ball about 40 yards; punter, gets ball about 50 yards; throws well when on the move</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='1881717' first='Luke' last='Shivas'] 5'11" 200 LB Morris Knolls</td><td>Wing T fullback; able to adjust his track to what is happening on front of him at line; physical tackler at linebacker, shoulder utilization and leverage rolls, goes through opponent; a bit bulky and thus able to be tacken down when you go blow or gang up high; wants to lower shoulder primarily or fall forward; would like to see more power behind his runs; good run stuffer, gets over the top and understands moving gaps; probably a linebacker at next level; have not seen him cover</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='2004621' first='Madden' last='Kramer'] 5'11" 180 LB Voorhees</td><td>Does not run through hole full speed when blitzed; off edge has a better motor when rushing; breaks down, but not wide enough base, does not cleanly fit his shoulder in for the tackle, has to gather opponent and wrangle them</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='1538186' first='Makih' last='Motley'] 5'8" 175 LB Passaic</td><td>No taggressive when hole opens up in front of him, will make play at line rather than attack; motor, doe snot retrace back to QB, runs around and upfield; will attack QBs arm; throws body at times, rather than wrap; has a nose for loose balls, comes up with it on the ground or forces it loose often; plays to tip the ball when in man coverage</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='1893365' first='Malachi' last='Sadler'] 5'10" 175 DB Burlington City</td><td>Able to match speed and tempo of WR in coverage at moments; a little difficult for him to start/stop at moments; goes low when tackling; does not always use hands to catch the ball; makes plays by mixing it up; do not see much technique in his game</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='1466300' first='Malakhai' last='McKenzie'] 6'1" 170 QB Paulsboro</td><td>Longest through about 50 yards; steps up in the pocket; motion is a high release, as if he is trying to put touch on each throw; scans the field, will look in each direction before taking off; solid scrambler, has a little wiggle, not a while lot, but enough speed to makae people miss and chase due to bad angles; throws are in good spots, receivers do not have to make much effort and are not in position to get killed</td></tr><tr><td>[player_tooltip player_id='1939966' first='Mamoudou' last='Kamara'] 6'2" 230 DL Newark Central</td><td>End with a solid get off; not the best ocmpetition; has some speed to gain the corner on someone; solid get off at times, must rememberto keep attacking half man when rushing; can redirect fairly well on QB keeps; keeps hustling and pursing; gets hands, shoots them upwward, then disengages - want to see a refit and shed moves</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><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/01/final-2026-player-rankings-film-evaluation-notes-part-viii">Film Evaluation Notes, Part VIII</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/01/final-2026-player-rankings-film-evaluation-notes-part-ix">Film Evaluation Notes, Part IX</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/01/final-2026-player-rankings-film-evaluation-notes-part-x">Film Evaluation Notes, Part X</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/01/final-2026-player-rankings-film-evaluation-notes-part-xi">Film Evaluation Notes, Part XI</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/01/final-2026-player-rankings-film-evaluation-notes-part-xii">Film Evaluation Notes, Part XII</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/01/final-2026-player-rankings-film-evaluation-notes-part-xiihttps://prepredzone.com/2026/01/final-2026-player-rankings-film-evaluation-notes-part-xviii">Film Evaluation Notes, Part XIII</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/01/final-2026-player-rankings-film-evaluation-notes-part-xiv">Film Evaluation Notes, Part XIV</a><br><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/01/final-2026-player-rankings-film-evaluation-notes-part-xv">Film Evaluation Notes, Part XV</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
