PRZ NE Showcase: New York Defensive Notes

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The final of our North East Showcases took place in early February, and bolstered a whopping 140 athletes from across the North East, and even Canada. With many athletes missing our New York Showcase, we had a solid group of New York Playmakers ready to ball out in Danbury, CT. In this article, we will take a look at my notes on some defensive athletes, and their performance at our New England Showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While NY has had their Stock Up Showcase, many other states still have showcases.

The 2028 Archbishop Stepinac Prospect, ranks 50th in the 2028 class, and standing at 5'6" 150-Pounds, can play as both a LB or DB. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mitchell had an impressive combine performance, clocking the top Pro Shuttle, with a 4.10, and ranking in the Top 30 for the three other drills. Mitchell, displayed an elite IQ, with good speed. He has the ability to reach his top speed quickly, and showcased good footwork, which allowed him to make sharp direction changes, along with cover ground with ease. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2070634"],"_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-699c811fe49cd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Next is [player_tooltip player_id='2070634' first='Daniel' last='Alarcon']. The 2029 Prospect, attends Farmingdale, and made his first impression at Prep Redzone New England. Standing at 5'11" 217-Pounds, he displays a good frame, and an excellent size for an EDGE Rusher. With his frame, he can also play as a TE. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alarcon had a solid combine performance, setting a benchmark for his times, despite ranking in the bottom half. He displayed a quick burst of speed, which allows him to rush the QB and beat his man off the LOS. I was impressed by his use of leverage during rushes, along with his footwork, which was on full display in Danbury. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2120930"],"_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-699c811fe4a54"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Last up in Part One, is Ward Melville 2029 Prospect [player_tooltip player_id='2120930' first='Christian' last='Monfiletto'].
