His offers from the Spartans and Commodores are his first Power 4 offers, and he has inked an official visit with MSU during the first week of June. The Class of 2027 Whitehall-Yearling is a fast edge rusher with a quick first step, takes great angles to the ball, has a high motor and can deliver big hits. Great block shedder at the corner, uses his length to disengage, and has a high ceiling.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2217664"],"_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-6a183c9d433d6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2217664' first='Luca' last='Silva'] shined at his team's college day workout, earning offers from Toledo, Miami-Ohio, Ohio, and Liberty. We saw Silva first when our own Mike Robinson held his All Ohio Showcase in Ohio prior to Silva's freshman season. Just due to his sheer mass and size, Silva is hard to get around, displays good punch and use-of-hands and adequate mobility. He has prototypical size for an offensive lineman, and his future could be sky high.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1921481"],"_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-6a183c9d43428"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Amileo Norvell, a starting corner for Springfield, is a strong Class of 2028 defensive back who can stay in phase, cover and carry deep routes, time the ball for pass breakups, and make interceptions. Norvell is a high-academic prospect with five Division I offers, and his most recent opportunities include Toledo, UConn, and Pittsburgh. Expect more to come his way with a strong junior year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1921496"],"_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-6a183c9d43477"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A strong performance at his team's college showcase paid off for Miami Trace High School offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='1921496' first='Matthew' last='Barnard'], who picked up offers from Kent State and Ohio. Barnard is a physical run blocker who can drive his feet on contact, seal off the corner with good hand placement and latch, and be physical as a finisher. Barnard plays with high effort and has tremendous upside as a Class of 2028 recruit. High-academic prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
