The Watch List: Episode 6

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I am proud to announce that I have joined Coach Mac, Coach Tuck, and Coach Ed on the After the Snap Podcast brought to you by Sage Media Solutions. Each week, I will join the squad during their Watch List Segment, to discuss a few players across the State of New York who deserve some love, along with written evaluations.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the first episode, we broke down the film of ATH [player_tooltip player_id='2133658' first='Isaiah' last='Smith'], and OL [player_tooltip player_id='2133659' first='Jonathan' last='David']. In Today's article, we take a look at the film of [player_tooltip player_id='939906' first='Gradyn' last='Dixon'], [player_tooltip player_id='1143058' first='Isaac' last='Suazo'], and [player_tooltip player_id='2175109' first='Jaden' last='Depinto'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Want to stay updated with the latest news and articles from Prep Redzone NY?

The talented CBA-Syracuse signal caller, has continuously impressed throughout High School, and he is officially underrated. Standing at 6'4" 190-Pounds he has a solid frame for a QB, but can look to add additional weight to help fill out his frame. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dixon is a dual-threat prospect who showcases the ability to use his IQ, and carve through defenses I like his strong arm, and he can launch the ball through con tact, and take big hits, standing tall in the pocket. He has elite accuracy, which allows him to thread the needle and force the ball for big time gains. He keeps the pocket clean and take care of the ball, using spacial awareness one each play. Dixon is a top QB in the Syracuse region and for a good reason. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1143058"],"_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-6a4e69a033d0a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Suazo is our representative from New York City and the PSAL League in this episode of the Watch List. He is a true athlete who plays on both sides of the ball as a DB/WR. Standing at 6'1" 180-Pounds, he has a solid frame for a prospect, and as he grows should look to fill out his frame. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Suazo has a strong tape, and I was impressed by the quality of highlights on both sides of the ball. As a receiver he shows a strong first step, and the ability to make sharp cuts and dig his foot into the ground in order to take off downfield. He has good hands, and can make contested catches against physical DB's. On the defensive side he has a high IQ, and can read the QB well. He jumps plays well, and showcases good skills in coverage and god hands and physicality to impact the ball at the POA. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2175109"],"_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-6a4e69a033dae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Depinto is a player who caught my attention during 7v7 games this past spring. He competed with PLE, and had an impressive performance. He makes the Watch List as our Long Island representative. He has a solid frame at 5'8" 155-Pounds, and can fill out his frame as he continues to grow. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Depinto has film on both sides of the ball, and mainly plays as a DB on his tape. He has elite anticipation, and showcases solid hands. He can jump plays with ease, and he is an excellent tackler. playing as almost a Safety or LB, he has an elite skill in his tackling form, which allows him to have a massive impact in the run game. As a WR, he showcases a good understanding of a route tree, and can make catches through physicality at the POA. Depinto is an elite prospect who is severely underrated. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
