[player_tooltip player_id='209027' first='Brock' last='Cornell'] out of West Allegheny is a kid who was named Co-Defensive Player Of The Year. Sharing the award with now Pitt LB Cam Lindsey out of Aliquippa.rnrnBrock has a total of 3 Division 1 offers from programs like Bucknell, Duquesne, and UAlbany.rnrnHe plays both ways for West Allegheny, but will ultimately play Defense at the next level. Brock has a lot of versatility and is good at covering ground to make plays. He will only continue to grow, and his reported 4.2 GPA won't slow him down either!","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1156199"],"_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":"This is a good-sized 2026 prospect out of Quaker Valley. The 6'0 | 180 lb DB makes plays all over the field.rnrnHe reads the field extremely well from the safety position. Fatur comes down the field and makes hard hits on whoever is in his way. I also like that he has the athleticism to line up on the edge, and blitz if need be. You'll also see Rex make plays on special teams, which can be extremely valuable for a program! With 2 more years of HS development, I think this is a prospect who should have no trouble picking up FCS level interest!","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["684890"],"_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":"Here is another 2026 prospect who can develop into something special. [player_tooltip player_id='684890' first='Danny' last='Odem'] out of Farrell HS is a 6'1 | 160 lb WR prospect. He is also a two-sport athlete playing PG on the basketball team.rnrnYou always know you're in for a treat when the opening clip of a kid's tape is a 60-yard screen to the house. He does this multiple times. Not only does he showcase his ability to use his athleticism to create space, but he also shows he can go up and get it! Catching multiple 1 on 1 balls in the red zone! Don't forget about Danny in the return game either. This is another prospect coaches must get their eyes on before it's too late!","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1155810"],"_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='1155810' first='Jackson' last='Failla'] is a QB prospect out of North Allegheny. Last season [player_tooltip player_id='893575' first='Logan' last='Kushner'] (Duquesne) was behind center. This season the QB1 position is up for grabs. As a 2026 prospect, this stud is listed at 6'3 | 180. Great size for a young QB looking to make his mark! Although he isn't under the lights Jackson still slings the rock. I like that he looks comfortable running the offense. He has command and understands his reads. North Allegheny puts him in read-option scenarios, where he again and again makes the right read to pick up a good chunk of yards. I'm excited to see a full season of varsity tape from Failla!rnrnHere is what our NE Regional Scouting Director [player_tooltip player_id='1156407' first='Vic' last='Castillo'] had to say about Failla.rnrn“As an evaluator who knows the QB seat is up for grabs, I can't ignore this young man's athletic profile. 6'3, 180 pounds, is a legitimate dual-threat passer, with a ton of fantastic runs on tape, improvised or intentional. Great grades.”","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1156198"],"_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":"Cannon McMillan has an extremely hard-working player in [player_tooltip player_id='1156198' first='Jayden' last='Baxter']. This is a kid who is dedicated to his craft. He's always in the weight room, or on the field putting in work!rnrnThat work makes him a very good football player on Friday nights. He plays DB/WR, but I like him on the defensive side of the ball. He's listed at 5'11 |165 lbs. I like his ability to come up and make plays in the open field. He has fluent hips which allows him to cover the length of the field to make plays on the ball. This is another 2026 prospect you have to keep tabs on.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6609d9aa9608b"} /-->
