As a running back, he is a playmaker every time he touches the ball. He has the quickness and burst you want from every running back. When he hits the hole, he is so explosive that he is hard to tackle. He also has elite track speed, and once he gets into the open field, he is off to the races. Then, as an outside linebacker, he is a playmaker. He is excellent at reading and reacting to the play and stopping the run or the pass. His ability to play in space is good, as he can make a ton of plays in the open field. He is also a good tackler. Lenzi is a good player on both sides of the ball and is a playmaker in the 2028 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">UPDATED SOPHOMORE YEAR HIGHLIGHTS ‼️<br>(8 games) <br>📊 5,9, 197 lbs<br>418 AP yds 🌟<br>70 tackles <br>10 TFL 🌟<br>2 TD's <br>17 qb pressures 🌟<br>2 FF<a href="https://twitter.com/YSAthletics?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@YSAthletics</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachFry8?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachFry8</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachHop11?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachHop11</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/RecruitsYork?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RecruitsYork</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/TrentonLuera14?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TrentonLuera14</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/joebaldasari?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@joebaldasari</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzone?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzone</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PRZVicCastillo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PRZVicCastillo</a> <a href="https://t.co/3pZMnImVCD">pic.twitter.com/3pZMnImVCD</a></p>&mdash; Jack Lenzi (@jacklenzi2) <a href="https://twitter.com/jacklenzi2/status/2015946904991887737?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 27, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1680311"],"_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-699678ebecfc8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1680311' first='Brennan' last='Farnsworth'] was a playmaker last year as a linebacker and spot duty as a running back.

His ability to read and react to the play, then come upfield to make tackles, is impressive. He also showed a good ability to blitz off the edge. His ability to blitz allowed him to be disruptive against opposing offenses. Then, as a running back in limited playing time, he showed an explosive ability as a running back.

He played all over the field as a safety. He does a great job of reading the play and making plays all over the field. His speed and athleticism are apparent as he closes well on receivers when the ball is thrown in his direction. He has good ball skills. Last year, he had two interceptions (including one he returned for a touchdown), 3 forced fumbles, and 2 fumble recoveries. This proves he is always around the ball from his safety position. He is also a good tackler, especially in the open field. Bower is an excellent player in the 2028 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Class of 2028 Sophomore Season + State Playoff Highlights<br>POS: Safety/WR/LS<br>School: Cardinal O&#039;Hara High School (Springfield,PA)<br>Stats (6 Games): 39 tackles, 2 interceptions, 1 defensive TD, 3 forced fumbles, 2 fumble recoveries<a href="https://twitter.com/coach_U?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@coach_U</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachEL_COHS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachEL_COHS</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachJCuff?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachJCuff</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachkealJa?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachkealJa</a>…</p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1369560' first='Robert' last='Bower'] (@Bobby_Bower_610) <a href="https://twitter.com/Bobby_Bower_610/status/2017645014763937858?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 31, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1851038"],"_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-699678ebed067"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wow, [player_tooltip player_id='1851038' first='William' last='Howard'] is an explosive running back for Springside Chestnut Hill Academy.
