Here's an OLB that is tough to block at the second level. Good angles to the BC, combined with a great physical frame makes him a tough matchup for most linemen. Long arms allow him to shed blocks easily. Hard hitter that likes to bring his pads when tackling. Can provide WR reps if need be. Abdul-Malik holds real value on special teams too.

It's not often you see a kid this size play the wideout position this well. [player_tooltip player_id='255776' first='Dorian' last='McGhee'] is a thick linebacking prospect, at least that's what you'd assume when looking at his build. Don't be fooled, this kid is a legitimate weapon on offense and can break a game open if you let him. Awesome second gear that he can get to. McGhee is a vertical threat simply because of how good his hands are. He's seen coming down with some tough catches under duress. Again, it's not often you see someone this big stride away from defensive backs. He's done it. He self-lists a 4.6 40, something I'd love to see replicated at our camp. McGhee reminds me a ton of [player_tooltip player_id='160589' first='Ziggy' last='McIntosh'], although McGhee might be a better OLB at the next level. Special talent.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-637b984e533b0"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/dbandzalot/status/1588993141478391809?s=20u0026t=cEIJ2rHO3GeRNUbp-Emx3A","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/dbandzalot/status/1588993141478391809?s=20&amp;t=cEIJ2rHO3GeRNUbp-Emx3A </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["303074"],"_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":"Beefy interior defensive linemen that is often stacked alongside stud freshman Cameron Brickle. This Malvern Prep defense was stout all year, Tabasso was a valuable cog in that machine. A ton of mass strapped to a revving motor, [player_tooltip player_id='303074' first='Philip' last='Tabasso'] had an awesome junior campaign stuffing run plays before they can amount to anything. Aggressive off the ball, wants to be violent with his hands while bringing his feet underneath his pads. Tabasso has nine minutes of clogging reps which is equally as impressive as any junior DT in the state. Excited to see him rise in our ranks.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-637b984e5368d"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["142800"],"_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":"Awesome to see Mylachi's development as a pass-rusher happen in real-time. Although capable, the TE designation stems from when I saw him make plays as a pass-catcher at some 7v7 events. Fast-forward to this Fall, [player_tooltip player_id='142800' first='Mylachi' last='Williams'] is legitimately one of the better pass-rushers in the PCL Blue. 6'5, with an understanding of leverage, Williams has totaled 27 TFLs, 11 sacks for Bonner and Prendie this Fall. I have been waiting to reflect his game on our rankings for some time, excited to finally do so for the 1st-Team All-Catholic ATH.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-637b984e536bb"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/24MylachiW/status/1593437807690784768?s=20u0026t=cEIJ2rHO3GeRNUbp-Emx3A","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/24MylachiW/status/1593437807690784768?s=20&amp;t=cEIJ2rHO3GeRNUbp-Emx3A </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["256196"],"_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":"Hell of a mid-season tape from Braeden Walker. Watched some of the games posted after his mid-season and was equally impressed. Alignment capabilities range from DE to multi-gap DT. 6'2, and a good 250 pounds, Walker can be trusted to punish both weaker and slower linemen who cannot counter the power he brings to the table. I see plenty of interior linemen that are closer to the athletic side of the DL spectrum, nice to see someone this size win with sheer power. The key to this kid's recruitment skyrocketing is his ability to become more than a one-dimensional winner. He's already beginning to flash it. Excited to see his final senior tape when it drops.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-637b984e536e7"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Conner Aquino","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Academy of the New Church","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"This kid's season stat line earns him a spot on our ranks alone. 28 TDs to 4 INTs, 1900+ yards passing while completing just under 65% of his passes. I'm just glad I ended up seeing him live, somehow, his elite stats do not do his game justice. I haven't yet asked around about Conner Aquino's name amongst recruiting circles, but I'm interested in what I might hear back. This kid has some flare to his game, improvisational skills that will help put him over the hump as far as rankings go. Aquino's first impression will more than likely be a lasting one with me, I'm just excited to see what his potential ceiling could be.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-637b984e5371f"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ConnerAquino1/status/1592699840093650944?s=20u0026t=cEIJ2rHO3GeRNUbp-Emx3A","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ConnerAquino1/status/1592699840093650944?s=20&amp;t=cEIJ2rHO3GeRNUbp-Emx3A </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Tripp Capers","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Germantown Academy ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Tripp Capers provided a spark for Germantown Academy this Fall. A name I was unfamiliar with, Capers tape proves he could be a vital piece for Germantown on both sides of the ball so long as he continues to provide some playmaking ability at RB or WR. The kid flashed potential at DB as well. The Patriots could have a prospect waiting to break out this time next Fall. Capers is a standout on the diamond as well, being a dual-threat prospect will inevitably help his stock down the line.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-637b984e53756"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/PhSportsDigest/status/1591527628280066048?s=20u0026t=cEIJ2rHO3GeRNUbp-Emx3A","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/PhSportsDigest/status/1591527628280066048?s=20&amp;t=cEIJ2rHO3GeRNUbp-Emx3A </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
