Top Performers: New Palestine v. Homestead Scrimmage

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/gavin-johnson-3/"></a>Fort Wayne Homestead traveled to New Palestine for a scrimmage last week. The day was filled with several Division I-level recruits who shined, as well as many under-the-radar players looking for a big senior year. Here's Part 1 of our analysis of the scrimmage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2120923"],"_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-6a54dcb99474b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Had a great day at the scrimmage, Very good player. Plays with a good wide base. Good use-of-hands, plays with good bend/leverage, won most of his one-on-one reps. Snaps and steps with good quickness, twitch, good run blocker.  Can spin the barrel, plays with good bend and leverage. Fundamentals are good. Well-coached player with good technique. Coach's son.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1924893"],"_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-6a54dcb9947c3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Plays both ways on the LOS. Good first step quickness, tall and athletic with good ankle flexion. Played OT during the one-on-one reps with the OL/DL and both ways during the team period; his college fit is at defense. Left unblocked, he is very disruptive. Good block shedder who can long-arm opposing OTs and takes good pursuit angles to the ball. See him as a guy who can add weight and plug the middle at nose at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2024707"],"_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-6a54dcb99481d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Good rusher off the edge. Has an athletic-=looking frame with good read-and-reaction skills vs. the run. Takes good pursuit angles to the ball, wraps up in space. Recorded a pass breakup during the 7-on-7 period with good closing speed. High academic prospect who recorded 47 total tackles and six sacks last season with two forced fumbles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1709487"],"_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-6a54dcb99487f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"> <br>Stood out in the one-on-one period with his speed, quick first step and athleticism. Took on Hirschy a couple of times and won the reps easily. Lacks ideal height but has the twitch/explosiveness. Plays with good bend, leverage and hand use. Very under-the-radar recruit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Bryan_Ault/status/2075322756833440056","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"x","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Bryan_Ault/status/2075322756833440056 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Bryan_Ault/status/2075329823359008854","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"x","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Bryan_Ault/status/2075329823359008854 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Bryan_Ault/status/2075321027677102257","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"x","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Bryan_Ault/status/2075321027677102257 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
