Patrick is a relentless blocker whose toughness oozes on tape. Flashing a mean streak with a strong size-speed combination and a quick first step, he shines on both sides of the ball. Offers from UConn and Virginia Tech have come recently. We look forward to getting an in-person look in a couple of weeks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1620631"],"_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-6a92f5039d153"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sometimes all it takes is one performance to land an offer from college coaches, and that is certainly the case with Princeton tailback Jordan Hall. The big, bruising running back and Miami-Ohio ran all over Archbishop Moeller for 176 yards and three touchdowns in the opener, earning big-time opportunities from Penn State, UConn, Wake Forest, Cincinnati and Maryland. Hall has a great combination of size and speed coveted by college coaches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1636891"],"_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-6a92f5039d197"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Trotwood Madison Class of 2028 defensive lineman Jameer Whyce has the goods. Flashing good first-step quickness, ability to take on double team blocks, taking great angles to the ball and possessing great foot speed, Whyce has been dominant so far this year, earning offers from Missouri, Texas A&amp;M and Michigan who have entered the chat this month. Committed to Ohio State, but teams may try to flip him heading into the spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
