<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>6'2, 275 pounds. 3.6 GPA. A 2027 OL/DL prospect out of Bensalem who is beginning to generate legitimate Division I grades from programs evaluating the class. Good early build for a trench player, carrying enough mass already while still looking like someone who could continue developing physically over the next couple seasons.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Posted roughly five minutes worth of tape on Hudl. The sample size is solid enough to get a feel for the type of lineman we're dealing with. Right away, the power element of his game stands out. He plays with real force at the point of attack and consistently looks to move defenders off their spot. Some of his better reps show him driving through contact and maintaining leverage once engaged.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Given the frame, strength, and early flashes on tape, it's easy to see why programs are beginning to take interest. Bensalem has a player here who looks capable of developing into a reliable trench presence on either side of the ball. Continued development and consistent production should put him in line for a good ranking in the upcoming update.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Projection-wise, this is a prospect who already carries Division I traits. With improved technique and prolonged development, he could easily see serious traction from FCS programs and potentially higher depending on how his game continues to progress.</p>

<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>5'10, 185 pounds. 4.2 GPA. A 2027 RB/ATH out of Interboro who is beginning to receive legitimate Division I grades from evaluators. Good compact build with the type of frame that already looks capable of handling a heavy workload.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hudl tape runs roughly 14 minutes and is packed with production. The majority of the reps come at running back, though there are quality defensive snaps sprinkled throughout as well. Interboro clearly trusts him in several different roles. Despite the DB reps, his future likely sits at running back.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Acceleration is the first trait that jumps off the tape. Once he hits the crease he separates quickly and has enough burst to turn routine gains into explosive plays. His build helps him absorb contact while maintaining balance through traffic.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The versatility is another plus. Interboro moves him around the formation and the athlete shows he can contribute in several alignments. That flexibility only helps his projection at the next level.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">From a projection standpoint, the tools are already there for Division I consideration. Continued refinement and long-term development should draw real interest from FCS programs, with the ceiling potentially climbing higher if the progression continues.</p>

<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>No verified measurables yet, which is something that will need to be cleared up moving forward. A 2027 RB/WR out of Springfield Township carrying a 3.25 GPA and serious production on tape. Logged over 1,000 rushing yards across nine games with 15 total scores. The tape is filled with playmaking reps. About 3 minutes worth of valuable reps.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Quick, decisive runner with the type of burst that allows him to turn small creases into chunk gains. Also shows he can catch and run, which adds value to his projection. Frame appears a bit lighter, and honestly looks more like a wideout build than a traditional every-down back.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Size will be the biggest question moving forward. That said, the production and playmaking ability are undeniable right now. Should see a respectable ranking in the upcoming update.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">He shows enough traits today to justify Division I grades. If the technique and overall development continue trending upward, expect FCS programs to take a serious look, with the possibility of more depending on how his game evolves. High D2/Potential D1 grade.</p>

<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>6'3, 215 pounds. 3.4 GPA. A 2027 EDGE/ATH out of Conwell-Egan who has taken a noticeable jump since the last time I evaluated him. I've seen him in person and the improvement is real.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Three-minute tape on Hudl. Still raw, but the pass-rush potential is obvious now. Rankin is longer, stronger, and playing with much better urgency than before. He's starting to turn that athleticism into real production, getting after quarterbacks in the loaed PCL.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>First step looks quicker and he's finishing plays more consistently. Shows the type of closing burst you want from an EDGE/OLB type. Still learning the position, but the flashes are much more frequent now.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">The physical tools already align with what next-level programs look for. With steady development and improved polish, he should attract legitimate FCS recruiting traction and could push beyond that depending on growth.</p>

<li>6'3, 220 pounds. 3.0 GPA. A 2027 TE/EDGE prospect out of Episcopal Academy who plays in the Inter-Ac, one of the better conferences in the region. I saw him work in person at a camp back in January and the potential is obvious.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Tape is about three minutes long but it's enough to see the tools. Poole is a tough football player who can block and operate in-line, yet he also shows flashes of the type of athlete who could develop into an EDGE or OLB at the next level. There's real two-way value here.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The athleticism is still unlocking, but the frame and physicality are already there. Competing weekly against Inter-Ac competition only helps his projection. If the production jumps this season, the recruitment should follow.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">There are clear Division I qualities present in the profile. If the technical side catches up with the natural ability over time, FCS programs should come calling, and the ceiling may extend further if everything clicks.</p>
