He had a few other Division I offers on the table before deciding to go with the Quakers. Feliz does a great job of using his long arms to his advantage, especially in pass protection. He has quick and controlled footwork and doesn't give opposing linemen any chance to get around him. Would like to see him explode more into the defender with the initial contact during run blocks. Has the potential to get on the field sooner rather than later at Penn. The size is there, he is already working with some good tools, and he will be coached up even more at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1583122"],"_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-6a52447562961"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alt has offers from both Morgan State (May 27th) and Fordham (June 16th). One of the things that stood out to me from his 2025 highlights is his ability to make contested catches. Alt does a great job of high-pointing the ball and shows strong hands by completing the catch despite contact. Alt has a nice stride as a runner and is a legit deep-threat for his team. His highlights showcase him running different types of routes from short to intermediate to deep. Also plays safety, where he shows a lot of range. Impressive all-around athlete. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1630074"],"_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-6a52447562a63"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I think Cobb has the ability to play himself into more scholarship opportunities this upcoming season. You truly get a great look at his route-running ability in his 2025 season highlights. From a physical standpoint, he has great height and the frame to add good weight too. Cobb shows noticeable acceleration out of his stance. He eats up the cushion of defensive backs with ease and knows how to find the open spots against zone defenses. Cobb can outrun and outjump defenders. Would like to see more of him against the press and man-to-man coverage, but that's unlikely to happen in a game. Not if the coaches on the opposing team are smart. I'm expecting a strong senior year out of Cobb. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Ravens 7v7 Champions 🏆<br>Few Highlights from the tournament run.

As a pass-rusher, I like the closing burst that he shows after getting past the offensive tackle. Relies on his quickness as a pass-rusher. Against the run, he certainly holds his ground and, at the very least, neutralizes the offensive tackle. Blue-collar type player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2241974"],"_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-6a52447562c4d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I love linebackers that explode out of their stance once they see where the football is going. Whether it's a pass or a run, Schmuck's ability to close the gap between him and whoever has the ball stands out. He packs a big punch when he tackles, as evidenced by the forced fumbles he causes in his junior-year highlights. Very effective as a blitzer, usually too quick for the offensive tackle. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
