PRZ PA Classic Preview: 4th Quarter Performance 18U

<p>Back in action tomorrow early in my home state for the PA Classic over at United Sports Complex in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. I will be primarily covering the 15u bracket, but I wanted to do a team preview on my Virginia compadres at 4th Quarter Performance 18u squad. Between their very sneaky dangerous quarterback and the weapons on the outside, I like 4th Quarter's odds.</p>    <p class="text-gray-700">One of my top ranked quarterbacks in the 2029 class, Patriot's [player_tooltip player_id='1788531' first='Anthony' last='Mallory'] is underrated to put it modestly. Mallory helped lead the Pioneers to a regional title and improved drastically as their season wore on. He was not expected to be the starter right away but stepped up early in the season and helped get Coach Finnerty's squad back on track. I will be curious to see how he does this weekend as he only a freshmen playing with the 18u bracket. Much like he did last fall I anticipate Mallory handling the change well.</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/Anthony27932282/status/1980698600184090740?s=20 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1311693' first='Amari' last='Ruth'] is healthy and coming in strong for what should be a good senior season with the Gainesville Cardinals. He will probably be Mallory's favorite target and he looks like he can get open against any defense. Ruth can fly out of the gate and I do anticipate bumping up his ranking when the new 2027s come out later this month.</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/ruth_amari/status/2042056538228191607?s=20 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Kenbeng is a stud and has played at a high level for the Piooners top ranked defense the past two seasons. He earned a top performer spot back at the Duel in the DMV and I would expect him to lock down the opposing teams top receivers this weekend. He is on the radar for a number of FCS or higher schools, would not be surprised if he has an offer before week 1 in 2026. </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/LouisKenbeng3/status/1990803074756313471?s=20 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Ortiz is another prospect from over in Nokesville that they are expecting big things from this season. A very instinctive defensive back, Ortiz has tremendous footwork and a great break on the football. He sure should flash this weekend, this young man will be included in our next rankings for the 2027 class also. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">I watchlisted Sutton in our recent 2029 addition and may bump him in our next update. Already playing for the 18u squad and starting to get notices from colleges, [player_tooltip player_id='2165894' first='Chandon' last='Sutton'] should not be on our watchlist, he should be ranked. </p>
