Everything that I saw pop on film looked even better in person. As just a freshman Capuano already has a great build. He looked very explosive in all of his movements. I didn't realize how agile he could be, I was surprised as he ran the 5th fastest pro shuttle time clocking in at 4.47 seconds. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1956541"],"_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-6a0e2f38bd66e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Garner caught my attention from the jump tying for fifth in the pro shuttle with a time of 4.47. My attention stayed on him as I watched how fluid he looked in the indy portion. Kodi has an unbelievable amount of wiggle to his game. Watching him put defenders in a blender was almost like poetry in motion. He also showed the ability to be a really good pass catcher coming out of the backfield, running crisp routes and catching the ball away from his body. Having that skill in his bag as a running back will help blow up his recruiting as he gets older and continues to improve.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2176817"],"_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-6a0e2f38bd691"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gaspard to me looks like a very solid all around running back. He has a nice solid build at 5'10' 205 pounds. He has a very powerful lower half so I wasn't surprised to see him finish with a top 5 broad jump of 9'4". Gaspard looked great in the jump cut drill where he was able to gain so much ground going in either direction. Once his feet hit the ground he showed good speed and acceleration to finish each rep. I was already impressed with his explosiveness on film, seeing it firsthand It's almost like I could feel it!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>TAP IN FOR MORE ON THE PRZ EXPOSURE SERIES ILLINOIS</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/05/przil-exposure-series-lb-and-db-stock-raisers/">PRZIL Exposure Series: LB and DB Stock Raisers - Prep Redzone</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/05/przwi-exposure-series-wide-receiver-standouts-pt-1/?itm_source=parsely-api">PRZIL Exposure Series: Wide Receiver Standouts Pt. 1 - Prep Redzone</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/05/przillinois-exposure-series-wide-receiver-standouts-pt-2/?itm_source=parsely-api">PRZIL Exposure Series: Wide Receiver Standouts Pt. 2 - Prep Redzone</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
