Undoubtedly Engle can get on the move and make throws on target. This was evident, especially on play-action. He operates efficiently in the short and intermediate areas of the field, getting the football out quickly. Engle also possesses the arm strength to push the ball vertically and outside the numbers. A QB that has talent to build upon in the future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17673704/67a8f49c751285838a03e79au0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a0fbc10251c9"} /--> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Very blessed to receive McQuaid Jesuit's Varsity Football Scholar Athlete of the Year <a href="https://t.co/Dpjym2HQOz">pic.twitter.com/Dpjym2HQOz</a></p>&mdash; Harrison Engle (@hengle_28) <a href="https://twitter.com/hengle_28/status/2018794069041029564?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 3, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2200599"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2214487,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a0fbc1025215"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A burst of energy, quickness, and physicality are present on [player_tooltip player_id='2200599' first='Jayden' last='Pagan']'s tape. No doubt this is an RB that runs with quickness to get in and out of cuts. It was incredibly useful when breaking runs to the outside gaps. Pagan has a physical presence to lower his shoulder to drive for extra yardage. He runs low to the ground and has the speed to take off. His vision as a ball carrier allows him to identify lanes quickly and consistently gains positive yardage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/23394111/6913538510678cbff3df1469u0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a0fbc1025231"} /--> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Thankful to be invited to <a href="https://twitter.com/EliteVShowcase?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@EliteVShowcase</a> Had an excellent experience.

Not letting extreme leverage battles control situations and playing smart in pass protection paid dividends. Dudley has a keen ability to get out on screens and pull to make key blocks outside the numbers. He is quick coming off the LOS, and it showed when making reach blocks in the run game.

Jet sweeps, deep balls, and short out-routes highlighted his shiftiness in the open field. Defensively, his athleticism and football IQ stood out at CB.

Nonetheless, he has quick hands to catch the football in short and deep areas.
