PRZVA Winter Showcase: Woodgrove is building something special

<p>Coming off their Region Semi-Final appearance the Woodgrove Wolverines had a plethora of stars show out at the Winter Showcase. Based on the way all 6 of their athletes performed this past Saturday, the Wolverines should be title contenders for years to come.</p>    <p class="text-gray-700">Let's start out with their sophomore quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1398086' first='Colton' last='Dabkowski'], who nearly took home QB MVP honors. Dabkowski is one of the top rated prospects not just for Virginia in the 2029 class with good reasons, he is also a baseball star for the Wolverines. He made all metro selections as a freshmen and was competing in a very talened room. We had prospects from classes 2026-2031 competing at the quarterback position and a few of them were already highly regarded. That just goes to show you how well Dakowski did on Saturday. This young man has a chance to lead Woodgrove to a District title next season.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/carljfred/status/2018070803556839923?s=20 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Donnelly earned a top performer spot in a receiver room loaded with Division 1 prospects. Each time off the snap he was getting a release and getting separation against elite defensive backs. I was right about him, the young man is a gamer that wants to win each play. His testing numbers in the broad jump and shuttle run were amongst the best their, [player_tooltip player_id='2043357' first='Dylan' last='Donnelly'] is ranked in our top 100 for many reasons. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/carljfred/status/2018534014005510184?s=20 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">2028 Watch List prospect [player_tooltip player_id='2043577' first='Caleb' last='Pendleton'] tested well particularly in the Pro Shuttle and Broad Jump. Based on his tape it looks like he may factor into the Wolverines offense as a junior next season. A good sized wideout with a solid GPA, giving Dabkowski more options to throw too. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Really good testing numbers for 2029 Tight End [player_tooltip player_id='2101902' first='Caleb' last='Strahan'], nearly breaking 5.0 in the 40 and a good shuttle run time. He does not appear to have a twitter account but all signs point to him being a factor in the Wolverines gameplan. Looking at his tape he is athletic enough to play on defensive end or guard next year too. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Ridolfi looked good catching passes in both the receiver and running back groups, another 2028 prospect we need to have ranked. He was an all conference selection as a sophomore, the speedy playmaker can do it all. He tested very well with a good 40 and excellent broad jump too. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/joeyridolfi/status/1994076564363808785?s=20 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">While he didn't test [player_tooltip player_id='2108318' first='William' last='Young'] still earned a 2nd Team all camp selection for his impressive work during the 1vs1s. Young was too big too miss at 6'6 and 295 pounds, my colleague Pat Weider was impressed with the way he came in and competed. Shows a lot about his character too as he could of just showed up and turned around as he just arrived with the showcase starting. Instead he came in barely warmed up and showed why Woodgrove is very high on the big man's future.</p>
