2026 X Film Study 12

<p>The X Film Study series keeps rolling with another group of Oregon prospects who stood out on film this offseason. This group has a little bit of everything, from explosive skill players to high-upside trench prospects and young athletes who are just scratching the surface of what they can become. A few of these guys already look like established varsity players, while others are exciting projection pieces moving forward. Let's get into Volume 12.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ConnorDarby57/status/2043862264282042639 </div></figure>   <p><strong>HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR FILM: </strong>Comment a link to your film by leaving a comment on the pinned post on my X profile. The post on my X profile is above.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Frederickson is a really solid-looking safety prospect who does a lot of things well on film. He has good size for the position and plays with the range and instincts you want to see on the back end. What stood out most was how comfortable he looked in zone coverage while still being willing to come downhill and help in the run game. He moves well in space and looks like a player who understands what is going on around him. Frederickson feels like one of those dependable defensive backs who could continue trending upward heading into his senior year.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/CooperNoahQB10/status/2046742692076667242 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">Cooper is a steady quarterback who showed some good flashes throwing the football. He has solid arm talent and does a nice job getting the ball out with rhythm and timing. There were multiple throws on film where he showed the ability to layer passes and push the ball vertically when needed. He also moves around well enough to extend plays and keep an offense on schedule. Cooper looks like a productive high school quarterback who could put together a really strong senior season.</p>      <p class="text-gray-700">Kofstad is one of the more intriguing young offensive linemen in the state because of the combination of athleticism, size, and movement ability. He moves extremely well for a tackle and flashes the ability to climb to the second level and make plays in space. Playing for a really good Silverton program, you can see the polish starting to develop already in his game. His frame gives him a ton of upside moving forward, especially as he continues adding strength over the next couple of years. Kofstad definitely looks like a young lineman to keep an eye on in the 2028 class.</p>      <p class="text-gray-700">Caruso looks the part immediately with his size and frame at tight end. At 6'4", he gives quarterbacks a big target and shows some nice athletic traits as both a receiver and blocker. He moves well for a bigger athlete and has the type of frame that colleges will always be interested in developing. There is still a lot of upside left in his game, which is exciting considering how young he is. Caruso feels like a prospect who could make a major jump over the next two seasons.</p>      <p class="text-gray-700">Traylor is just a fun player to watch with the ball in his hands. He is explosive in space, can create chunk plays quickly, and has the type of athleticism that stresses defenses. What I liked most was how natural he looked after the catch, consistently turning short plays into bigger gains. He also showed good hands and enough route-running ability to project well long term at receiver. Traylor looks like one of the more exciting young playmakers in the 2028 class.</p>
