PRZNY Exposure Series: LB Notes I

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We had over 6 LB's in attendance competing this past weekend in horrible conditions. These LB's put on a show for myself, Nick, Jon, and Coaches. In this article, we will take a look at some notes I accumulated of a few WR's who were in attendance during the showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="font-size: revert;white-space: normal;font-family: var(--wp--preset--font-family--system-fonts)">Want to stay updated with the latest news and articles from Prep Redzone NY?

Having him in attendance in Warwick and getting to see the talented athlete work was outstanding. He had solid combine numbers, which were affected by the conditions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Truesdale is a beast. He is a monster physically, and shows a ton of muscle in his physique. He finishes plays, and is a hard worker on the field. I liked his vision, and footwork which allowed him to move coast to coast across the field with the Line Backer group. Moving forward, Truesdale should look to continue to working on all his traits with fine tweaking as he continues to work through High School.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2113815"],"_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-6a342530570d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2113815' first='X'zavion' last='Jones'] is a player who found himself newly ranked when the 2028 Rankings released. After that, the talented Albany region prospect headed down to Warwick to test his skills amongst some of the best at the LB position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jones had solid combine numbers, and can look to work on his speed as a LB, which will help him move sideline-sideline against the ground game. He showed good footwork, and I liked his burst of speed out of cuts which caught my eye, as that is a trait which is needed at the LB position. In coverage reps he was solid, and can improve in this area, but was sticky on a few routes giving some RB's trouble throughout the afternoon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2205490"],"_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-6a34253057121"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dochnal was a LB who is new to the Prep Redzone community, and a player who attended his first showcase and made a good first impression in front of the scouts and coaches in Warwick. Dochnal showed solid combine numbers including a speedy 4.56 Pro Shuttle time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dochnal stays square, and does an excellent job keeping his balance with his eyes in the backfield. He moves well laterally, and showcases good footwork and breaks in and out of cuts. I liked his ability in pass coverage as it is raw but it has potential. This is where he should look to improve. He has a strong frame, and showcases good size, which can allow him to move to the EDGE on pass rush snaps. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr
