Pendergrass has good vision and quickness and is a slippery evader who can break tackles in traffic. Pendergrass is the Fighting Scots top ranked prospect and for good reason - he is one of the only players on this list who I think could see some time in year 1.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660c6dabe456b"} /--> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rest of the Class</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["521457"],"_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_0_evaluation":"Roseboro - only one spot behind Pendergrass is a very talented prospect who was a consistent mainstay on both sides of the ball for an extremely successful Bennett program. Roseboro, who I have seen live on multiple occasions is a really talented man coverage corner who plays with physical hands and good instincts.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["254885"],"_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":"Meacham - a top 10 quarterback can really spin it and the HFL multi-year starter is one of the most dangerous passers from the pocket in New York. Meacham consistently was able to work all parts of the field from the pocket with good velocity and ball placement. The Fighting Scots return their top two quarterbacks but both being upperclassman gives Meacham time to continue developing his game.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1210502"],"_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":"O'Grady out of St. Joe's in the Monsignor Martin league in Buffalo is a defensive line prospect who will add some natural strength and physicality to the Edinboro trenches. O'Grady plays with a high motor and showcases the ability to finish plays with violence on both sides of the ball on his tape.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["604460"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='604460' first='Jacob' last='Benjamin'] from Waverly is a big addition on the offensive line for Edinboro and the Section IV OL has really impressive film. His size at playing this fall under 250lbs and a tad over 6' is why he lands at the division 2 level but when you watch the tape you see some a player who plays with violence on both sides of the ball and has strong hands with a powerful punhc.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["628945"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Newkirk out of Bishop Timon-St. Jude is not only a football standout but a standout on the track. As a senior Newkirk has been setting this record at Timon and its starting to look like Edinboro are getting a player who has Division 1 speed at the Division 2 level. Newkirk has good tape but with his coverage skills down the field relatively untested against several run-first opponents Newkirk plays really well around the LOS where he plays physical and with good instincts.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["523005"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Ulanga an athlete out of St. Francis played multiple positions through his high school career and when you watch the tape is the type of player who could slot in at positions in all three phases of the game. Ulanga could be a nickel corner at the next level where his quickness will be showcased. He also has return and special teams skills pair with the ability to make guys miss which could see him get reps at slot WR or on special teams.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["604492"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='604492' first='Clayton' last='Bezon'] has an elite frame for a Division 2 tight end at 6'4 240 and the Fighting Scots are getting a player who excelled on both sides of the ball. While a lot of his tape is from the defensive end position and not getting a ton of targets in a run heavy offense I originally saw Bezon as a defensive end prospect but his TE tape as a blocker is solid where he uses his strength and physical hands to win. As a receiver he stretches the middle of the field well.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["747223"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='747223' first='Jeremiah' last='Neely'] - another St. Francis product headed to Edinboro is a long lean WR prospect who showcases the ability to stretch the field and make contested catches. Neely is a threat in the redzone to make tough catches and has burst to create seperation out of his breaks. Neely shows strong hands in jump ball situations and has the size to win reps with his size.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":8,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660c6dabe4710"} /-->
