He can lineup across the board and I actually prefer him on the offensive side of the ball. Standing at 5'6" 130-Pounds, he has an undersized build, but as just a Freshman, I expect him to grow into a solid frame. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Film is limited on Kugler but I have managed to see multiple clips of him in action from his Freshman Season. He had clips of him at multiple positions, which gives him an ATH positional value. I like his footwork and IQ, throughout snaps, and his ability to attack the ground and reach his top speed catches my eye. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kugler is a young ATH, who has a ton of promise, and can easily become one of the top player on Long Island. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2061353"],"_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-697e331c3f0a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ferrara is Next up in the line of great Defensive Backs under Coach Spagnolo. The 5'9" 140-Pound prospect, has a solid frame for his position. I do want to see him reach the 180-190-Pound mark as he progresses through High School. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ferrara has outstanding instincts, and showcases good body control, allowing him to make good cuts, and plays on the ball. I like his footwork, and he is exceptional as an off the ball playmaker. He has good footwork, along with good form tackling in open space. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1790895"],"_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-697e331c3f0f1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Simmons hails all the way from McQuaid Jesuit, and the 6'0" 160-Pound prospect, is an intriguing athlete to watch in our 2029 Class. He displays a good frame for a Freshman, and reaching the 190-Pound mark, can help fill out his frame as he progresses through High School. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Simmons has an exceptional IQ, along with the ability to make hard hits, and wrap up tackles. I like his ability to watch his man, or keep his zone while keeping an eye on the QB at all times. He is excellent as an ATH, and has a quick burst allowing him to reach his top speed quickly. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
