His speed and ability to create separation make him a difficult matchup for defenders, while his reliable hands allow him to consistently get big plays in the passing game. Hammerschmidt has shown the ability to stretch the field vertically and create opportunities after the catch once he gets into open space. This offseason will be important as he continues building chemistry with his quarterback and refining the details of his route running. With additional varsity opportunities potentially on the horizon, Hammerschmidt has the skill set to emerge as a rising offensive weapon. If he continues progressing physically and taking advantage of offseason reps, he could quickly become a name on the rise in the 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2214221"],"_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-6a15c619d5c08"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Quintero is a versatile two-way prospect looking to transition from JV success into a meaningful varsity role this upcoming season. Defensively, he brings physicality and competitiveness at cornerback, showing a willingness to challenge receivers and play aggressively in coverage. On offense, Quintero has continued polishing his route running while also displaying strong hands and dependable ball skills. His work ethic throughout the offseason has stood out, as he continues dedicating time to improving both sides of his game. Quintero appears to be trending in that direction with his work this offseason. With continued development and increased varsity reps, he has the potential to establish himself as an up and coming name to watch closely on both offense and defense moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2216457"],"_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-6a15c619d5c2b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">LeVier is a receiver prospect aiming to turn limited varsity experience into a breakout opportunity during the upcoming season. After seeing action sparingly last year, he has attacked the offseason with a strong focus on improving his overall athleticism and speed through track competition. That added explosiveness could help elevate his game and create more opportunities offensively. LeVier also shows strong hands and the ability to secure contested catches, giving him value in critical passing situations. His willingness to compete for 50/50 balls shows both his toughness and confidence as a receiver. As he continues developing physically and gaining experience, LeVier has the tools to emerge as a player on the rise. A larger offensive role could allow him to showcase his skill set and gain more recognition moving into the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1294292"],"_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-6a15c619d5c49"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Goss is a defensive back prospect who gained valuable experience last season splitting time between JV and varsity competition. That exposure has helped accelerate his development and should position him well heading into the offseason. Goss displays solid footwork and fluid movement skills, allowing him to transition in and out of breaks quickly while staying connected to receivers in coverage. He also shows dependable hands and the ability to capitalize on opportunities when quarterbacks test him downfield. His instincts and reaction time give him upside as a corner capable of making plays on the football consistently. This offseason will be critical as he works to continue growing physically and proving he can handle a larger role on the outside. Goss has the potential to become an important contributor if his development continues.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2216446"],"_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-6a15c619d5c68"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kramer has already started building momentum this offseason after an impressive showing at the KOHL'S long snapping camp, where he earned a 4.5 star rating. His work as a specialist has helped place him on the radar early but Kramer also brings intriguing upside as a tight end. In limited opportunities, he flashed explosiveness, reliable hands and the ability to create separation as a receiving threat. His athleticism allows him to contribute in multiple phases, making him a versatile prospect worth monitoring. The offseason has already been productive for Kramer and continued development in both his long snapping and offensive skill set could help elevate his profile even further. Kramer appears to be trending upward as he heads deeper into the offseason and with scouts already having him on the radar he will be on the rise in the rankings as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
