What stands out about Crosier is his length: he is a very long-limbed outside linebacker with time and room to get bigger and stronger in a college weight program. Stout against the run and taking great angles as a pass rusher, he can pursue quarterbacks and flashes a high motor with good range. I'm anxious to see how he grows in the gym ahead of college camp season this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1594486"],"_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-6961179baae5b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1594486' first='Nicholas' last='Morano'], like Crosier, is a bit thin and has the frame to add bulk, but he flashes tremendous edge speed and a high motor as a rusher. Really like his ability to dip his shoulder, turn the corner and effectively pressure the QB and take great angles. Morano is a very good pass rusher and is stout as a run defender, and played well at the Stock-Up Camp last weekend in Columbus.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2086535"],"_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-6961179baaea4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2086535' first='Nathan' last='Barran'] is a starting defensive end for Medina, and the 6-foot-3, 170-pound edge prospect flashes great first-step quickness and has a nose for the ball. Barran has a high motor and relentlessly pursues ballcarriers. Tough, strong, and with a lean frame, he has room to grow at the position. His college fit could be as an off-ball linebacker where his range and motor really shine.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2097908"],"_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-6961179baaee8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2097908' first='Ricardo' last='Doyle'] has plenty of upside for St. Francis De Sales.

Doyle is still just a Class of 2029 prospect, so keep an eye on him in the future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
