<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today we will take a look at some of the prospects I was able to look at their film and breakdown what traits they posses. These are just a handful of prospects looking to turn heads and garner some attention not just in their class but from college scouts as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2223299"],"_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-6a22fd3ccf63c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Castro is an all around prospect that shows the willingness to contribute in any role necessary to help his team succeed. While he continues to work toward earning more opportunities at receiver or safety, he found a way to make an impact last season as a kicker. His production in that role was impressive, connecting on 13 of 15 PATs while also converting a FG from 33 yards. Those numbers show consistency, confidence and the ability to perform under pressure. He has embraced every opportunity available and continues to develop multiple aspects of his game. Entering the upcoming season, Castro will be playing with a chip on his shoulder as he looks to prove he can contribute beyond special teams. If he secures a larger role, he has the potential to become one of the more intriguing under the radar prospects to monitor throughout the year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2161788"],"_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-6a22fd3ccf6ac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Volpe is a versatile player whose contributions on both sides of the ball making him a prospect to know. As a running back, he shows excellent vision and patience, consistently finding running lanes and getting north and south without wasting movement. His ability to find creases quickly allows him to maximize carries and keep the offense on schedule. Volpe excels at picking up tough yards between the tackles and routinely generates positive gains that help move the chains. His shiftiness is another strength that shows up on film. In open space, he has the ability to make the first defender miss and create additional yardage after contact. Continued work on speed and explosiveness could elevate his game even further and help turn those solid gains into explosive plays. Defensively, Volpe brings a physical presence at safety. He fills running lanes aggressively, comes downhill with confidence. He also displays solid coverage instincts and has shown the ability to create turnovers by coming away with interceptions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2130174"],"_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-6a22fd3ccf717"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cole is a defender who consistently finds himself around the football. His instincts allow him to diagnose plays quickly and position himself to make an impact. Time after time on film, Cole is involved in tackles, either making the stop himself or helping hold up the ball carrier long enough for teammates to arrive and finish the play. Cole is comfortable dropping back into coverage and does a nice job reading the quarterback while keeping routes in front of him. He closes quickly on underneath throws and limits opportunities for receivers to gain additional yardage after the catch. Continued development in his physicality could help him take another step forward and maximize his effectiveness at the point of attack. His instincts, awareness and consistent motor make him an intriguing small school prospect who could generate increased attention as the season progresses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2223279"],"_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-6a22fd3ccf767"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chisom is a two-way playmaker whose versatility gives him the ability to impact games in multiple ways. On offense, he showcases strong hands and the ability to create separation through sharp route running and an explosive burst coming out of his breaks. Once the football arrives, he consistently secures catches and looks to turn upfield for additional yardage. Defensively, Chisom provides value at both cornerback and safety. His willingness to contribute in run support stands out immediately, as he does not shy away from contact and consistently works to finish tackles in the open field. His tackling ability makes him a reliable presence when plays spill outside the numbers. He also shows the ability to be explosive when he creates turnovers, tapping into his receiving abilities. His ability to contribute in all phases of the game makes him a prospect whose stock could rise significantly with a strong season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["691219"],"_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-6a22fd3ccf7e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Miller enters the season as a prospect who has worked tirelessly to elevate his profile. After transferring to Northfield this offseason, he has spent the offseason actively competing on the camp circuit, gaining valuable exposure while refining his skill set against quality competition. One of the first things that stands out on film and during camp settings is Miller's footwork. He moves efficiently through routes and consistently creates separation with his technique rather than relying solely on athleticism. Miller has strong hands and does a good job securing the football through contact. The transition to a new program presents an exciting opportunity for Miller to showcase his growth and become a featured playmaker. With continued development and increased opportunities in Northfield's offense, he has the tools to emerge as one of the more talked about receiving prospects in the area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
