One of the things that sticks out to me, and college recruiters, most when projecting athletes at the next level is body type, muscle, and frame. Luke's got a super impressive frame at his age at 6'1, and he's all muscle. He's a super lean kid. He would not look out of place on a college practice field. Another thing that projects particularly well is his arms, he's super long. He's not just projection and measurables though, he's got bounce, he's got speed to run away from DBs, he effectively tracks the ball in the air. He put on a show in one on ones, I'm excited to see where he goes from here, I believe he is definitely a receiver rather than LB.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2097865"],"_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-6984621553a0e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This dude is huge. Huge. Likely bigger than the 6'2, 225 he's listed at. Like I said in Luke's eval, most of projecting athletes is body type, muscle, and frame. And just like Luke-Kamari has got all 3. He projects as an EDGE in my opinion, he's got the twitch and first step to dominate o-lineman at the high school level. He's got surprising bend for a kid that's 225 and class of 2030. Most high school EDGE prospects can get away with athleticism and running through lineman, but if he can speed up his hands, and hit offensive lineman a little harder he can really get a leg up on other EDGE prospects of his caliber. He's got the foundation to be an elite prospect, the polishing will be the cherry on top.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1506517"],"_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-6984621553a57"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The theme of this article will continue to be body type and frame. O'Brien is another receiver that stuck out to me at the event. He's 6 foot which already moves the needle at this age, but what stood out to me is how strong he is. Strong at the point of the catch, strong running routes against DBs. I could see him projecting to tight end because of how strong he is-if he grows a bit more. He was the second best receiver of the day, in my opinion. Super reliable, super solid, only going up from here.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1904901"],"_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-6984621553a9c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jus'sir had the best catch of the day, in my opinion. Climbed the ladder against a DB and went right up and over him. I thought he looked like a natural route runner and natural catching the football, and he moved really well in space. He was one of the thicker, more filled out runningbacks at the event. He was intense and brought some really good energy to the event. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1396263"],"_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-6984621553adf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wouldn't be a complete list without the overall defensive MVP of the day. He's an ultra physical DB that was also one of the best athletes at the entire event. The most impressive thing about Haiden's game, which is something young DBs tend to lack, is playing the ball all the way through the catch. There were a few reps where, despite initially giving up a catch, he played through the ball and was able to knock it out. He's smooth backpedaling, moves easy in space. I enjoyed the energy and intensity he brought to the field, and took notice that he intentionally lined up against [player_tooltip player_id='1455096' first='Luke' last='Maurino'], the overall offensive MVP, multiple times. He wants to line up against and face the best, which is an awesome mindset to have at DB. Athleticism + technical skills + mentality? Look out. He's gonna be special. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2088971"],"_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-6984621553b20"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Munyan's a young, but uber physical receiver. He can go up and get it, and showed off in one on ones at the event. His ball skills and ability to adjust stuck out to me-advanced ability for an athlete his age. He's got strong hands as well. With the physicality he plays with, I'd like to see him get a bit bigger, but he's got a lot of time for a growth spurt and to put on some weight, he's actually the youngest athlete in this article. I'm excited to see where he goes from here.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
