Then I watched his film from last season and saw his consistent ability to throw the ball. He has good mechanics and excellent footwork. I noticed he was good at sprinting out on designed passing plays, where he could look for receivers while he was running.  Zetick has some good tools and should eventually get a chance to start.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1182141"],"_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-68535a4b92264"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1182141' first='Matthew' last='Brodzinski'] has no film from last year I could find, but I have been tracking him for a while on Twitter, and I have been blown away by his ability. In the most recent 7 on 7 tournament, I saw Brodzinski make several good catches. 3 or 4 times he went up and high-pointed the ball when it was thrown high. He has excellent hands and has good body control to come down with the ball when it is thrown between defenders. Brodzinski has the tools to be an excellent wide receiver in High School and should be in line for a big Sophomore year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Had a great last 2 weeks at the <a href="https://twitter.com/210ths?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@210ths</a> 7v7 league! <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachStorino?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachStorino</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/SLS_Football?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SLS_Football</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/_Quay12?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@_Quay12</a> <a href="https://t.co/WVxro4NjzI">pic.twitter.com/WVxro4NjzI</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1182141' first='Matthew' last='Brodzinski'] (@mbrodzinski13) <a href="https://twitter.com/mbrodzinski13/status/1935012566566117717?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 17, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1649815"],"_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-68535a4b922ad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Playing at the Junior Varsity level of Football last year, [player_tooltip player_id='1649815' first='Mijour' last='Reid'] was a playmaker with the ball in his hands. He has a natural quickness and burst when he catches the ball, as tacklers fall off trying to tackle him. His ability to make defenders miss in space is special. He also showed good speed and can run by defenders with ease. Reid is a good prospect that I am excited to see how he does next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Freshman Film <a href="https://twitter.com/SLS_Football?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SLS_Football</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/coachwil_412?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@coachwil_412</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/210ths?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@210ths</a> Unfinished Business 2028 ⏰ <a href="https://t.co/lojvP7FXap">pic.twitter.com/lojvP7FXap</a></p>&mdash; Mi&#039;jour Reid (@MijourReid) <a href="https://twitter.com/MijourReid/status/1885833456535364081?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 1, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1648186"],"_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-68535a4b922ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Playing as an undersized linebacker as a freshman, getting his 1st varsity playing time, [player_tooltip player_id='1648186' first='Messiah' last='Wilburn'] did a good job. He has good instincts and reads plays well. You can see that the talent is there for Wilburn; he just needs to get stronger and faster, and that will happen with time. He also shows good tackling ability, and he wasn't afraid to tackle bigger players. Wilburn has the skills to be an excellent high school linebacker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Had a great combine day today with <a href="https://twitter.com/AthleticTraumaU?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@AthleticTraumaU</a> and had even better numbers for 5&#039;11 167‼️‼️<br><br>Bench-18 reps <br>Vert-31.3<br>Shuttle-4.5<br>L Drill-7.47<br>40-4.50<br>10-1.56<a href="https://twitter.com/gamasportstrai1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@gamasportstrai1</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/ImaniCAFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ImaniCAFootball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Chise89?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Chise89</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/theking1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@theking1</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/RodneyJr33?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RodneyJr33</a> @TazWilliamsSr <a href="https://t.co/Sh6Z0R4tIj">pic.twitter.com/Sh6Z0R4tIj</a></p>&mdash; Da__Messiah (@Da_Messiah22) <a href="https://twitter.com/Da_Messiah22/status/1906425132056260763?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 30, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1265119"],"_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-68535a4b9232f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1265119' first='Saleem' last='Jackson'] showed some flashes as a twitchy athlete who played as a linebacker and as a stand-up edge defender.

As an off-ball linebacker, he looked a little robotic and didn't look the same, but he has the talent to greatly improve in this area. Jackson should be in line for a big Sophomore season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://t.co/tBvjkXvIER">https://t.co/tBvjkXvIER</a><br>freshman season highlights had a great season <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/whynotking?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#whynotking</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachJordan215?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachJordan215</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/MLK_football?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MLK_football</a></p>&mdash; (S)aleem (J)ackson (@leem7k_) <a href="https://twitter.com/leem7k_/status/1855689815808774167?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 10, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
