Eval Tracker: Cornell Sending Offers Across the State

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we know, Georgia is one of the most heavily recruited and fertile recruiting areas in the country. The big schools are always patrolling, but there is plenty of talent to go around. This means that schools like Cornell can come down south and get in the mix amongst some of the other teams in the region. Here are a few prospects with recent Cornell offers under their belt. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Kory Pettigew","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Perry","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1556497' first='Kory' last='Pettigrew'] is a tall, explosive, speedy WR prospect with the ability to get behind safeties and score on any snap. He should be viewed as a deep threat on the outside, and could even slide to the slot where he can fire down the seam. He can win against off-man coverage with his speed alone, quickly eliminating cushion and getting by DBs before they can flip their hips to run. He also mixes up his pace in his routes, creating deception and pause in defenders which he can exploit. He is lighter at 170, but he flashes some contested catch ability by high pointing the ball in coverage. He doesn't flash much in the underneath route game, but he threatens defenses enough vertically to stem off his vertical route and work back toward the QB. His hands look great, they're late which allows him to catch balls off his facemask and he can reach through a crowd to bring in passes. Pettigrew might not yield a whole lot of receptions at the next level, but he is an explosive play waiting to happen and could pop 3 for 100 games.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1186963"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1195853' first='Kaleb' last='Lanier'] has been one of, if not the buzziest prospect in Georgia this offseason. An offer from Cornell just grows an offer list that includes Clemson, Kentucky, Ole Miss, LSU, and several more. Lanier is a thin 6'0 175 and checks the length and athleticism boxes. He is still thin and will have to add weight in order to consistently battle in contested catch situations at the next level, but he is a mechanic with elite footwork and pairs it with his speed in order to stick with WRs. Whether in off-man coverage or lined up at safety, his route recognition and ability to match and mirror at the top of routes is easily his most elite trait. Creating separation at critical points in the route is a challenge for WRs, and forces them to have to win a physical battle. Once he gets into a college weight room and adds some mass, Lanier could become a complete player at DB with 3-and-out potential in college.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["321492"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='321492' first='Jordan' last='Allen'] is another Cornell offer with P4 offers under his belt. Allen is a gadget-y slot WR prospect with a stockier, RB-like 5'8 170 frame. Also, similar to a RB, he is super explosive in the short areas and can quickly get to his top speed, even from a complete stop. His explosiveness translates to his footwork. He fires his feet and makes strong cuts, quickly leaving defenders in the dirt and dancing around tacklers to find open space. He also runs 10.9 in the 100, giving him the straight line speed needed to get vertical, outrun angles, and explode through running lanes. His footwork and explosiveness translates to his route running, overwhelming defenders at the line with his footwork and quickly slipping off his route into open field. He will also line up in the backfield and returns kicks, where his playmaking translates. All in all, Allen will iron out some sort of role at the P4 level and reminds me a little bit of Ainias Smith.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Dylan Torrico","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Blessed Trinity","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Torrico is a stout, violent LB prospect that leaves destruction in his path all over the field. He is listed at 6'0 215 and is well developed for his age, and might even be approaching his peak physically. He has longer arms and a stout lower frame, all while not sacrificing any explosiveness and twitchiness. He plays well in coverage and looks to stalk the QBs eyes well, but the basis of intrigue around his game comes from his ability to come downhill. He takes on blockers better than any interior LB I've evaluated in the 2025 class, popping pads with overwhelming strength and keeping his feet moving to work himself off blocks. He can also place and fire his hands like a defensive linemen, which allows him to further manipulate blocks. He takes some reps at RB as well, where he just bounces off tacklers with little to no effort. Torrico is violent and will eventually win out on each rep if given the time. He should be an easy D1 eval with a high floor.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1313887' first='Dylan' last='Villarouel']","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"North Forsyth ","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1313887' first='Dylan' last='Villarouel'] is a prospect I pinpointed a year ago as someone who could break onto the recruiting scene. Fast forward to now, and he has several D1 offers under his belt, including one from Cornell. Villarouel is a stout 6'4 310 with the simple ability to move people. You will likely find more athletic offensive line prospects in the state, but Villarouel could hold his own at the collegiate level today and plays with the physical edge needed to manipulate people. He understands leverage nicely, anchoring down against the pass and getting push with good pad level in the run game. His hand placement is consistent, frequently connecting on the chest and locking up defenders with a vice grip. He is versatile, spending most of his time at RT, but also taking reps at G and C. He is capable of playing each of those spots, but his C experience at his size makes him an even more intriguing eval for me.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65f5d1d57488b"} /-->
