<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Redzone was on the ground at Avon this morning as the Orioles took on Warren Central this morning at a 9 a.m. scrimmage. Both teams were not short on talent, which was clear as they battled against each other. Here is Part 1 of our top performers report from the scrimmage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1706244"],"_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-6a5671c0e15ca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tremendous athlete with high upside to be a big-time edge at the next level. 6-5, 215-pound frame that has filled out nicely since he transferred from Lawrence Central and has been interesting to watch over the past couple of seasons. Was hard to block at practice. Big senior is a physical hitter with top-shelf instincts, hits hard, takes great angles to the ball and wraps up. Strong pass rusher with a high motor, very disruptive, quick first step and has twitch. Good at getting downhill and flashes good range. Committed to Kentucky.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1691879"],"_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-6a5671c0e167d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Saw him play hoops this past winter and his multi-sport athleticism really shines on the field. Really good, consistent, and athletic safety prospect with the tools to be great. Has elite ball skills, ability to undercut routes, snatch it out of the air and has enough speed to flip the field after INTs. Good closing speed and can be a thumper, takes great angles and wraps up. Love his mindset, intangibles and competitiveness. Committed to Purdue.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2127818"],"_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-6a5671c0e170c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Big and athletic edge with excellent arm length, size, height and athleticism. Still raw and developing, but has made big gains from when I saw him last spring – more disruptive, developing twitch, takes good angles and flashes a good motor. Observed he takes coaching well, asks the right questions and is trying to figure it out. Has every opportunity to be great with his size, speed and athleticism.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2119952"],"_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-6a5671c0e1792"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Very good LB prospect. Has good range, pursuit, flows to the ball, getting better and bette4r than his sophomore tape shows. Can drop back and cover pass, closes on the ball, good use-of-hands to be very disruptive and times the ball well when it's in the air. Makes the calls on defense. Very good vocal leader. Holds an early offer form Miami-Ohio.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2237173"],"_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-6a5671c0e1813"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Undersized defensive tackle, but he is very disruptive and very explosive. 6-1, 280-pound prospect gets pad under pad, very good leverage and has a quick first step, attacks half-man. Can deliver some big hits if left unblocked, and can really wreck havoc as a pass rusher. Has good anchor strength, can occupy multiple blockers and free up teammates for clean up. Holds small school offers from Indianapolis, Southeast Missouri and Tiffin.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
