Bethlehem Catholic | 2029
PA
is a legit athlete in the 2029 class. He made plays all over the field for Bethlehem Catholic. On offense, he played both wide receiver and quarterback. He is excellent with the ball in his hands. His ability to make defenders miss is good. He has the quickness and burst you want in every skill kid. Then, as a defender, he is a good defensive back. He has good coverage skills as he can make plays all over the field. He shows good closing speed as he can close on passes thrown to receivers. Brake has a chance to be a breakout star this season for Bethlehem Catholic.

Read EvaluationTodd Haldis | Prep Redzone Scout
Zakai is a do it all athlete who showed out as RB for this event. With good size ad 6’1″ 180+ , Zakai is capable of lining up at any skill position with his athleticism. He accelerates up to top speed rapdily and shows nice lateral quickness. In RB drills, he showed nice cutting ability. Able to stick & go, while using his fluid hips to make strong side/jump cuts. In 1v1s he burnt defenders both vertically and with quick wiggle in his routes. Constantly getting open with good separation, he showed he knows how to get space with his route running. Do want to see impress his hands as a receiver however, as he had a few drops during 1v1s. Overall, Zakai is a freshman prospect already making his name known with tons of potential for the future.
Thank you @PrepRedzoneVA for running a great camp.I had a chance to compete against some great talent out of the DMV. Thank You to the coaches for your gems you taught me.#Growth#2029Athlete @carljfred @PRZVicCastillo @footballcoach79 pic.twitter.com/9sSa9HxvHB

Brake displayed his athleticism, especially in terms of vertical speed and burst off the line. He’s one of the more raw receivers in the group, but that didn’t stop him from earning MVP. When DB’s didn’t stop him from getting a free release, he was able to accelerate quickly and threaten defensive backs vertically.

- Attending his second PRZ Next Combine
- The lone Pennsylvania field general scheduled to be at the Combine, he should be a standout. Looks the part physically and was a stand out this past winter at the PRZ Next Winter Combine in January 2025.
