Promising 27’s of the Stock Up Showcase

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We had a phenomenal group of 2027s at our Stock Up Showcase on Sunday. These players will be seniors come fall, and will likely be massive pieces for their teams. Below are a few standouts that look to be on pace for a big-time senior season! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["649723"],"_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-695403ed2ea3d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"> Brady is the definition of a consistently hard worker. He attends every camp, works his tail off at every event he's at, along with all of the work in the weight room. He's built solid and does the little things right. During 1 on 1 time, he was able to win reps with his quick change of direction and flat-out physicality. De La Salle loves to be physical and establish the run, and Brady will undoubtedly be a focal point in the fall of 2026. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1356824"],"_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-695403ed2eac8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Our OL MVP! Kesean was a major standout on Sunday. He obviously passes the eye test with a big build, big hands and solid legs. I only got to see a little bit of his day during testing and a bit of 1 on 1s towards the end of the day, but I didn't need to see much to know what he was capable of. He moved well, didn't lunge when defenders tried to throw moves, and he packed a heck of a punch. Collins will undoubtedly anchor the Mona Shores line, and should be garnering D2 attention at the very least, with D1 upside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1101222"],"_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-695403ed2eb1f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gannon had a really good showing the 1 on 1 portion of the day, but his explosiveness was on full display during testing. He ran the best 40-time of the day at 4.6, and matched it with a solid 9'3 broad jump. You could see all day long that he was one of the quickest and springiest athletes on the field. He was a nightmare to try and guard, and his hands were on point. We already have him as the #9 ATH in his class, but this performance could give him a significant boost. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2088927"],"_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-695403ed2eb8a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jonathan put himself firmly on my radar with his performance. Once again, I didn't see a ton of reps out of the OL/DL group, but what I saw from Jonathan was impressive. The motor and bend was there, and his ability to use his hands and keep himself free was incredibly impressive. The technique was definitely on display, and I loved his tenacity to go along with it. Dexter will definitely lean on this 2027 class after losing a lot of big pieces from their state finalist team, and guys like Whitaker will have bigger roles in 2026. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1430918"],"_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-695403ed2ebf0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Blake was someone I didn't know a ton about heading into Sunday, but it did't take long to take notice of him during testing. He moved well and looked twitchy. He posted an impressive 4.5 shuttle time along with a 7-second L-Drill. Once we got to the 1 on 1 block, he showed off good route running and sticky hands. Defenders struggled to keep up with him more often than not, and once he got a step on them, he was gone. His connection with QB [player_tooltip player_id='1315775' first='Madix' last='Gorleski'] will make them a dynamic duo this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
