<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our exposure series brings us to Lake Barrington, Illinois this weekend. As we round up registrations, we are expecting to have a lot of big time athletes in attendance! With a solid number of returning showcase attendees mixed with some new talent, we are really looking forward to a great showcase. Let's take a look at some solid athletes you can expect to make some noise!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1720574"],"_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-6a087a4891d65"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This silky smooth receiver caught my attention immediately with his highlight tape. Before knowing he was a track runner, I assumed so from watching him constantly run away from defenders on tape. Sesta is a versatile pass catcher that you can line up backside by himself, as a slot receiver and as the #1. I am very curious to see what his test numbers will look like today as we are in the middle of the track and field season. [player_tooltip player_id='1720574' first='Liem' last='Sesta'] is a name to watch this weekend and going forward!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2177048"],"_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-6a087a4891db8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This 2029 running back was a load to deal with once he gets the ball in his hands. He makes plays with a handoff, on special teams and as a pass catcher coming out of the backfield. It is always interesting to see RBs performs at camps and showcases because of the nature of the position, but I expect to see a good performance from Nino as he has good agility, great balance and the ability to make plays in the passing game. Look for this young prospect to continue to raise his stock.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140434"],"_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-6a087a4891ddd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">What impresses me the most about Anthony is his willingness and ability to play press man which is not easy to do. Those skills will be put to the test this weekend as he will be seeing some really good receivers. With his vision and IQ that he displays on film I am confident he will be able to hold his own.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["971614"],"_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-6a087a4891dfe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Malik is one of the many talented 2028's we will have in attendance at this showcase. With his big stature and even bigger arm, I expect to see a lot of great plays being made by him this weekend. The sophomore has already created a name and a buzz for himself with his accuracy and overall playmaking ability. He will have a lot of weapons to get the ball to today so I am excited to see what we have in store!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
