2027 Film Study: Senior Standouts

I've been checking out plenty of film recently and have been impressed with a number of senior prospects! In this piece, I'll be breaking down 5 seniors that popped on film.    This kid is just a flat-out athlete. On top of his prowess on the gridiron, he also thrives on the basketball court. His body control and pure athleticism have translated to his game in the fall. I love what he can do at the defensive end position. Typically, from a 2-point stance, Bradyn fires off with great speed and has the hands to keep defenders out of his chest. He shows good bend, technique and once get gets his hands on the ball carrier, it's over. His height and length are good, and with some more weight room work, he could see a significant boost in his ranking and recruitment.     Coleman is a lean and athletically built tight end with plenty of traits to like. For one, he releases off the line with no wasted movement, and poses a big time mismatch for linebackers trying to cover him off the line. His routes are clean, and his highlights show off his ability to win jump balls and come down with some difficult catches thanks to his athleticism. Once he makes the catch, his vision and speed allow him to get some massive YAC to turn good plays into explosives. Projecting as more of a WR at the next level currently, but if Grand Ledge continues to use him at the TE position, they'll continue to find success!     Zander is a fun throwback RB with some modern flare. Defensively, Yost is a reactive off ball linebacker with the ability to diagnose plays quickly and rally to the ball. Big-time downhill guy with a ton of power. Offensively, when Yost totes the rock, you see the power. He runs behind his pads, displays good vision and the ability to make one cut and go. His strong lower half allows him to run through arm tackles and finish through contact for extra yardage. Another great 2-way weapon for Kenowa Hills!     I evaluated Tate awhile back, so I was excited to dive into his tape from this past season. He suffered a broken collarbone halfway through the season, but his film was still full of good stuff. Coming up from the safety position, Tate understands pursuit angles and leverage better than most. While he doesn't have the most fluid backpedal, he is still able to flip his hips and run with his receiver. His closing speed is definitely above average. I still have him projected as a safety prospect for the next level.     Will might be the most high upside guy on this list. I absolutely love his raw speed and athleticism. His film flashes a good mix of production in the passing game, and in the run game. Whenever Will gets the ball in space, he can turn it into an explosive chunk play. His acceleration and elusiveness allow him to be at his best on tosses and short passes. Fluid athlete with a ton of potential at the next level! Hope to catch Will in person soon.
