Week 1 Scouting Report: Belleville

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Despite the close loss, this Belleville team has an extremely high ceiling. This game was an absolute war to the end between 2 teams loaded with talent. Below are a few of the Belleville Tigers that I came away impressed with. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1261323"],"_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-6a934c977697c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This is one of the best players in the state of Michigan, so nothing I have to say will come as a surprise, but his performance was just so impressive I have to mention it anyway. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For starters, his frame has filled out a ton over the last year, and he looked as strong and cut as I have ever seen him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Britton was a reliable source for yards all night long. He did a great job of taking what the defense gave him, getting separation and providing a big target for his QB. He was nearly unstoppable on hitches and slants, and when he was given the chance to get vertical and go get it, he came down with some absolutely unbelievable catches. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Missouri is absolutely going to love what they have coming in. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1149421"],"_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-6a934c97769f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The other half of the fantastic QB battle we had on Thursday night was Belleville's [player_tooltip player_id='1149421' first='Kendall' last='Franklin'], who came into the night with a good amount of experience already. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>From the start, he looked extremely poised. He was making quick reads, getting the ball out and really taking care of the football. He took his shots at times, but didn't shy away from taking the easy completions as they presented themselves. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I think Kendall still has some growing to do of course, but he showed plenty of flashes that confirms his upside is still extremely high. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1261413"],"_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-6a934c9776a4b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kamari is the perfect compliment to Tre Britton in this Belleville offense. He had so many impressive moments in this one.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The one thing that really stuck out to me was his frame. He is built well, allowing him to shrug off any attempt at a jam, and he has no issue winning separation thanks to some great footwork and acceleration. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On top of that, his hands are so sticky, the way he moves is like he's floating and when he needs to, he can get physical. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He does not have nearly enough offers currently, and whoever ends up with him is getting a steal. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1617562"],"_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-6a934c9776a9f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The future Northwood DT was in midseason form on Thursday night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He was able to control his side of the line well, and was able to create some havoc, using his speed to power to disrupt the Grand Blanc offense and keep the pressure on the offensive line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>His mix of raw strength, endless motor and superb technique makes him one of the most formidable defensive linemen in the state. Great pickup by Northwood. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1615717"],"_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-6a934c9776ae8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Trenton is a really special player who seemed to be all over for Belleville on Thursday night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He's incredibly strong, and he makes you pay physically on both sides of the ball. As a LB, he reads and diagnoses things quickly, gets downhill and isn't afraid to lay some big-time contact. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Offensively, he runs behind his pads, does a great job of getting vertical and keeping his legs churning through contact. He is a top 5 RB per our latest rankings drop, and performances like he had the other night just confirm that evaluation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
