The best part of his game is his strength. He has good strength and uses it well on both sides of the ball. As an offensive guard, his strength comes in handy when he blocks and drives defensive linemen off the ball. As a defensive tackle, the flip is true; he is hard to drive off the ball. Potuznik is a good lineman prospect on both sides of the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Check out my junior year highlights!<a href="https://t.co/s0vPbsoJY3">https://t.co/s0vPbsoJY3</a></p>&mdash; Christopher “biggie” Potuznik (@bubbayes1) <a href="https://twitter.com/bubbayes1/status/1864397926631657493?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 4, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1689230"],"_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-6853709b7c652"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1689230' first='Ryan' last='McGowan'] is a good prospect for Downingtown East, who made a big impact as a defensive lineman for them. The 1st part of his game I like is how he can play inside as a defensive tackle and as an edge defender. At both positions, he shows good strength and athleticism. He is hard for offensive linemen to block one-on-one with his ability to get his hands on defenders and rip them through the offensive line. Then, as a pass rusher, he has good skills to rush the quarterback. He also played as a tight end, where he was used primarily as a blocker, and he excelled at it. McGowan is a good player who has the tools to continue to get better.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Junior season highlights <a href="https://t.co/MYxk8o3QQl">https://t.co/MYxk8o3QQl</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1689230' first='Ryan' last='McGowan'] (@RyanMcGowan2026) <a href="https://twitter.com/RyanMcGowan2026/status/1869204689251963266?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 18, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1689227"],"_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-6853709b7c6b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1689227' first='Maddox' last='Jarzynski'] is a talented athlete in the 2026 class. He played as a wide receiver and as an outside linebacker last year. As a wide receiver, he shows excellent skills. When the ball is thrown into tight coverage, he has the ball skills to come down with the catch. Then, after the catch, he shows a good ability to make defenders miss in space. As an outside linebacker, he shows good instincts and does an excellent job of reading the plays properly. He is also a good tackler, especially in the open field. Jarzynski is a good prospect on both sides of the ball. He recently picked up an offer from Norfolk State. I expect more offers to come his way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AGTG?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AGTG</a> After a great camp performance, I'm blessed to say I have earned my first D1 Offer from Norfolk State!

Since they run this option-based offense, Gillespie has a lot of key responsibilities for blocking defensive tackles. His ability to snap the ball and block defensive tackles is excellent. He also showed a good ability to chase and block linebackers. Then on defense, he showed a good motor as a defensive tackle and played at a high level as well.

After transferring from Blue Mountain to Schuylkill Haven, he did not get a chance to play last year. So, he has no film for me to watch from last year, but I was able to watch him work out at various colleges over the last few months. Looking at these videos, you see a talented thrower of the football. He has good mechanics and excellent footwork. He also has great size (6'5") and has a good arm. Heim, with a good Senior year, should have a chance at getting recruited to play College Football.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Some of my offseason work!!<br>6'5 230 QB C/O 2026<a href="https://twitter.com/DJKoulianos_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DJKoulianos_</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/farrmj?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@farrmj</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeMento?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JoeMento</a> <a href="https://t.co/zGDas7uS4k">pic.twitter.com/zGDas7uS4k</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1693071' first='Max' last='Heim'] (@maxheim2026) <a href="https://twitter.com/maxheim2026/status/1922649898085749170?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 14, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
