Live Look: Northridge Knights

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I got a chance to take a look at some of the moving parts at Northridge, some players ready to compete right away, and some of the future potential stars through the pipeline. Let's dive in to what we saw from this past weekend.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1683621"],"_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-69e835db1f639"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Liam is a signal caller poised with experience. He does well moving around the pocket and is a player who is coming off a shortened season. He has a good delivery, throws his receivers open, and has good accuracy. He's a decisive passer and a quick processor. He is on track to be fully healthy by the time the season comes, and he should be poised to be the vocal leader of the Northridge offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1699187"],"_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-69e835db1f74d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Boston has great size and a large frame that he will continue to grow into. He'll easily get to 215lbs and carry that weight well. He has a great arm. The ball effortlessly jumps out of his hands; the spin rate is fantastic. He has great ball placement and knows when to throw with velocity and when to layer his throws. He's an excellent passer who stands tall in the pocket and has all the tools you want to see. He throws 55+ yards effortlessly and has a great deep ball. He's a type of player that other talented players will gravitate towards. He has immense talent and would not be a shock if he garners multiple P4 offers. Should be the unquestioned JV starter as a Freshman. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1544170"],"_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-69e835db1f7ee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Roman is an athletic, twitchy, springy playmaker. He has good speed, great hip fluidity, and changes direction on a dime. He has good, quick burst and does a good job with footwork and route running. He gets open with ease and is slippery cover. He has all the tools you look for in a next-level player. He has every right to be a P4 recruit if he hits his ceiling. Strong hands, gets vertical with ease, and can work in the slot and outside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2141985"],"_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-69e835db1f8a6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Urijah has great tools. He has good size, has the length and the range and closing speed for the defensive back position. His footwork is clean, his hips are smooth and he changes direction quickly and has good athletic movement patterns. He has good acceleration and tracks the ball well. He is instinctual, and has the tools to be an exceptional defensive back. With his hip fluidity, he can come down and cover a receiver on an island, and with his range and athleticism, can be the deep safety or be a box safety as he has the size and physical playstyle. Fun player and is a D1 talent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Those were some players to know at Northridge.
