Standing at 5'8" 160-Pounds, he should look to reach his ideal frame of 5'10" 170-175 pounds before leaving High School. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Evaluation:</strong> Morales is a true special teams threat, and he showcases the ability to cut up field, and take plays to the house with ease. He has excellent footwork, and is a balanced runner, who attacks the ground on every step. I like his speed, and it is a valuable part of his game, which can see him be used as a downfield threat. He has excellent hands, and can rack up catches through contact. Morales, should look to improve his route running moving forward to open the doors to a complete WR game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2076768"],"_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-6a381e8b2205e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Background:</strong> Doran is another new player we saw reach the rankings in the 2028 class this cycle, and he hails from Franklin Delano Roosevelt High School, and can also play as a Kicker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Measurables:</strong> He has solid measurables, and standing at 5'11" I like his height for the Wide Receiver position. His weight sitting at 160-Pounds, can improve, as he is on the slimmer side. I want to see him reach 175-180-Pounds before ending High School to fill out his frame. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Evaluation:</strong> Doran has limited film, but his frame is where I see potential. I expect him to have a bigger role for FDR. From the limited reps I have seen, he showcases a high IQ, and the ability to make plays across the field. I like his footwork and he is a solid route runner, but he should work on this trait as he progresses through High School. Doran I want to see more from moving forward and his potential is the reason he is ranked. It is time for him to Impress me, and I will be watching him closely this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2200622"],"_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-6a381e8b22100"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Background:</strong> Ortiz is a player who caught my eye during the Garden State Gridiron back in April as he competed for WNY Elite, and dominated against some competitive playmakers throughout the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Measurables:</strong> Ortiz has an impressive frame, starting with his height, which is solid for a WR, standing at 5'11". His weight he should look to improve, as weighing at 160-Pounds he is on the slimmer side. 180-Pounds is the minimum he should look to reach. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Evaluation:</strong> Ortiz is a physical playmaker, who can make catches through contact. His ability to hold onto the ball through big hits is impressive. He also has the ability to go up and make catches on contested balls and 50/50 plays. I like his route running, and he has excellent balance and body control, which allows him to make sharp cuts with his routes. He does have limited film, which I want to see more of him this season, as I feel he can be an elite playmaker for North Tonawanda. I do want to see him work on speed and his get off the line to help him become an elite receiver threat. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2200629"],"_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-6a381e8b221fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Background:</strong> Treacy is a new player to the rankings who had an excellent JV season for a stacked Rye squad that won a state championship. As the #1 target, for the JV squad, and multiple opportunities due to graduation, I see the potential for Treacy to have a breakout season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Measurables:</strong> His measurements are not known, but I do know he is above the 5'8" mark, as a receiver, which gives him solid height for the position. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Evaluation:</strong> Treacy is an excellent prospect who if he competes at the same level as his JV film, can easily see himself sitting with numerous offers. I like his ability to go up and make catches, as he showcases good body control through contact, and displays good vision and the ability to track the ball through the air. He is not the fastest player, but he showcases good speed, and haas excellent footwork which makes him a tough to tackle prospect. He should look to work on his route running and separation off the line and at the POA. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
