With Seniors graduating he should be used as the primary ball carrier.   Measurables: Standing at 5'8" 165-Pounds, Rambalski, showcases a solid frame for the RB position. He is on the slimmer side which is why he has been used as a pass catcher, but he should look to add weight as he continues through High School.   Evaluation: Rambalski is a versatile athlete, which allows him to be used in the pass and rush game behind the LOS. He can also be used as a WR, or a slot target on any offense given his current frame, and displays excellent hands, and sharp route running skills. As a ball carrier, he is a quick playmaker, who takes off with the ball being snapped. He has solid vision but should look to improve to see the field better when rushing through gaps on the line. I like his footwork, and he can get going quickly with a good burst, but slow himself down to make cuts across the field. Rambalski is a solid athlete who can really play either position as of today, and can be a Swiss army knife for a team at the next level.     Background: Jean Jacques not only has the coolest name in the 2028 RB class, but he also has versatility, and can play on both sides of the ball, taking snaps at RB. He is a playmaker to watch on the Section One White Plains squad heading into the fall.   Measurables: Jean Jacques has a good frame, and his height at 5'11", is a big plus for me in this 2028 RB room. He is on the slimmer side, which can allow him to play as a pass catcher, but if RB/LB is the main focus, he should look to reach 190-200-Pound mark to fill out his frame.   Evaluation: Film is limited for the White Plains RB, but from what I saw, he excels at finding holes across the line. Behind the LOS, he is slowing the play down to 25% and reading each player on the defense. He can even make changes to his plan after a gap closes when he commits. After reaching the hole, he has an excellent burst, and can take off reaching his top speed with ease on the field. He can make an impact in the passing game, and shows the ability to make catches. He is a name to watch moving forward, and more film, can easily help his cause.     Background: Nazarian is the first player from Section 2 in this list. Hailing from Ballston Spa, the 2028 RB/DB has put together an impressive campaign as of late and was also a top performer at the PRZNY Exposure Series Showcase in May.   Measurables: Nazarian has a solid frame, and measured in at 6'0" 185-Pounds. His height at 6'0" is good for a RB, and measuring at 185-Pounds is also solid. He could add more muscle to help fill out his frame.   Evaluation: Nazarian has a solid frame for a RB, and at the moment it gives him versatility and shows the ability to play WR, and DB if needed. He could add some more muscle to make him a more physical back, but had excellent footwork, and showed a quick burst. In 1v1 Reps, he made some nice catches in space, but should look to improve his route running. He showcased good vision, as well, and was excellent at moving through the line. I like his ability to stay balanced through contact, and attacking the ground, allows him to fall forward on his reps.     Background: Heading up to Section Three, we tale a look at "Tank" [player_tooltip player_id='1607289' first='Caleb' last='Cunningham'] attends Cicero-North Syracuse, and has been a long standing name to watch, given his versatility across the football field.   Measurables: Frame is one thing to note here for Cunningham, as he is on the smaller side of the both height and weight charts. At 5'8" he is a smaller back, which can be a challenge at the next level. He should look to add more weight, as 145-Pounds, is undersized for the position.   Evaluation: Cunningham is another player who has limited film, and could benefit from more reps. I like his speed, and burst, which despite the frame, easily make him a threat for any squad. He is a tough to tackle playmaker, and has exceptional footwork allowing him to be a challenging name to stop. I want to see improved vision from him, as he can struggle to find the gap, which can lead to plays being blown up for short gains or losses behind the LOS. Overall Cunningham is a solid playmaker who should make noise this season.
