Here are four standouts who pop on film and have taken their recruiting up a notch with strong showings during spring showcase season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1185155"],"_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-6a1d90d4db04e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hunter McLaughlin, a Class of 2029 quarterback who transferred to Archbishop Moeller, has huge potential. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound quarterback with high academics has a cannon for an arm. Has the mobility to roll out of the pocket, make accurate passes, and throw on the move effectively. Quick release. Had a great freshman season with more than 2,000 yards passing, 25 touchdowns, and 379 yards rushing and nine touchdowns on the ground. Picked up an offer from Austin Peay.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1516813"],"_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-6a1d90d4db0f5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Clay (Ohio) High School's Landon Echelberry was recently re-offered by Toledo. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound passer has a quick release and a strong arm. He fits the ball well into tight windows. He is very athletic, also a baseball player, and has good accuracy in the short/intermediate game with good size to boot. What's more, he is what college coaches are wanting in the modern quarterback: a legitimate dual-threat who can make plays with his legs and run through contact. Recent offers for the 2028 prospect include Toledo and Kent State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1922471"],"_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-6a1d90d4db161"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kavon Blackmon is a very athletic offensive lineman for Springfield who should be a dominant player over the next two years. Blackmon has great first-step quickness. He can sustain rushers in pass pro, keeps defenders between his feet and neutralizes blitzing linebackers. Some major college football teams have extended offers over the past month; UCLA, Tennessee, Kentucky and Wisconsin have all offered over the past few weeks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1589528"],"_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-6a1d90d4db1c4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Garrett Rosenberger is a high-effort offensive lineman who works to the whistle. For a Class of 2028 prospect he has great size and a good frame; a 6-foot-5, 270-pound prospect with adequate arm length and foot speed. Rosaenberger sustains blocks in pass pro. His run-blocking ability at the second level is top-shelf, plays with a mean streak and is a good finisher. Florida Atlantic offered last week, putting him up and over the double-digit offer mark.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
