<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Many college coaches have been going from school to school chatting with prospects. A number of them have even been extending numerous offers.

This dude was an absolute animal for Howell in 2025. A 2-way star, Kish is an all around talent. Speed, size, athleticism and above all-physicality! Just over the last few days, in-state P4 programs Michigan and Michigan State have extended offers and set up visits. He has also received other offers such as UCONN, Bowling Green, Boston College and Purdue and more. The race is on for Kish, who has earned himself a TON of love from these colleges. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2070489"],"_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-697b7ac647240"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jacob is an intriguing prospect that is starting to heat up! He's a big and physical presence that gets under the pads of his opponents and does whatever he wants. He absolutely passes the eye test both with his size and how he moves as well. Kent State just extended an offer and at this pace, I could see quite a few more come his way before long. Taylor will absolutely be a name to know in 2026. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1291369"],"_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-697b7ac647297"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">With a couple of recent visitors and an offer from Bowling Green, people are starting to get on the hype train with Jones, and rightfully so. Defensively, he brings a high IQ and a superb level of instincts to the secondary. He can cover so much ground that it's nearly impossible to throw anywhere near him without him getting his paws on it. Jones has also showed the ability to come up and play in the box with physicality. The offers are only just starting for this dude, but he has been a hot name recently. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1233478"],"_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-697b7ac6472e8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Detroit Catholic Centra is developing offensive and defensive linemen at an impressive clip. It seems that Anderson is the next man up for the Shamrocks. Akron, Bowling Green and Colorado State are just the latest flurry of offers for the standout lineman. He's as physical and nasty as they come, and thrives in the run game. Not only is he big, but he moves extremely well. He can pull or release to the 2nd level and lock in in open space, which is something many linemen his size can struggle with. His stock is on a big-time rise over the last few weeks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Koen Hinzman ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'7u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"285","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Hudson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-697b7ac6473ac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It's easy to see why so many coaches have worked Koen out and extended offers. His size is impossible to ignore, and when you pair it with what he has put on tape, it's a no brainer. Coming from a small school, recruiting can be an uphill battle, but college coaches have wised up on Koen. He's a long and bendy tackle that can pull, block in space or just fire off the ball and bury the guy across from him. He's just as impressive defensively as he played tons of EDGE snaps and created a ton of havoc, though I think offensive line will best suit him at the next level. Underrated no more for Hinzman! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
