<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1492259' first='Malik' last='Davis'] really showed out this past week against MIlford Academy. He made 10 total tackles (five tackles for a loss) and registered a QB pressure. I see a reported offer from Georgia State on his X profile. It's a nice highlight reel that is almost two minutes. Davis wins with power and a quick first step. High motor, wins reps with second and third efforts. Already had ideal size for a college defensive tackle. Hard to move when the offensive line tries to combo-block or reach him. Tough in the interior and makes plays at the line of scrimmage. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Johnson put up a redic</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Johnson came in as one of the TOP quarterbacks in the DMV region and looks like he's already in mid-season form. In a win over Penn Wood, Johnson accumulated 300-plus yards of offense (rushing and passing) and scored two touchdowns (per his post on X). Johnson takes off on a 50-yard run to start the highlight. His dual-threat capabilities separate him from a lot of other quarterbacks. His accuracy looks better on rhythm throws and when his feet are set. There are plays where you see him hitting receivers in stride on slants, hitches, and crossing routes. Look for another highly productive season from Johnson. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Based on the highlights I watched, Spano is an edge, but his main job is attacking the ball carrier. Spano lines up in multiple positions, so the defense has a hard time accounting for him down to down. Spano lines up on the edge or in the box. Spano doesn't get washed at all when he stays square. Later in the highlights, his motor and pursuit show up more. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Per his X account, Benjamin registered four tackles, six quarterback pressures, and one batted pass in a win against Bergen Catholic (NJ). Benjamin is hard to move and becomes real disruptive when he wins at point of attack. I love his get-off and pad level. Benjamine's first step is quick and he collapses the A/B gap, forcing the quarterback to move on passing plays. Also impressived with his hands and the way he extend them. Does a nice job of getting into the guard's chest and can shed or occupy gaps. He didn't get the sacks, but the highlights show that Benjamin was highly effective at disupting the quarterback's rhythm. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">So, i watched Luke come in for [player_tooltip player_id='477498' first='Jackson' last='Rice'] during a loss to Bishop McDevitt in their season-opener on the road. I didn't say much on his performance at the time, but I was impressed with how fast he got the ball out to his receivers and the poise he showed under a tough situation. Fast forward to this past Friday night against Bergen Catholic, and he completes 13-of-16 passes for 260 yards and four touchdowns. That's a quality opponent and it looks like he did a good job again of getting the ball out quicly to his playmakers. </p>

<p>Luca is on the smaller side but the Good Counsel offense looked like it was on point against BC. He works from a balanced drop and gets the ball out on time on intermediate throws shown in the highlights (hitches, crossing routs, and shots down the field after play-action). He has a compact release, accuracy, and good-enough arm strength to drive the ball outside the numbers. There's a lot of timing throwns and if he sees that the first read is open, it looks like Luca is taking it. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It's a small sample size, but GC looked pretty good on offense with him as the quarterback. Future is looking great at that position from the looks of it. </p>
