The Soaring Eagle took reps at both DB and WR and impressed me at both positions. Defensively Addison did a nice job playing trail technique most of the afternoon. He possesses the closing speed and length that allows him to make a play on either the ball or receiver's hands when in action. Once the ball was in his hands at wideout, he had more than enough Ricky Bobby shake u0026amp; bake to him to spring loose for huge gains.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64821cfca06e8"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["606245"],"_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":"The Immaculata product Stewart was one of the bigger defensive backs present at the PSR Showcase. He used his size - and his ensuing strength - to consistently win at the line by jamming his matchup. If they were able to get off the line, Stewart draped all over them throughout short, intermediate, and outward breaking routes. I would not be surprised if Stewart profiled out more as a safety, but he was an adequate performer in man coverage as well.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64821cfca0781"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["829413"],"_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":"With the amount of talent at Union City and how well represented the Soaring Eagles are at different events, I was surprised Hector was not a name or face I was familiar with yet. By the end of the showcase, I think that receivers from all across the state were well acquainted with Hector. The rising sophomore did a great job using his body to maintain leverage over his matchup. He was able to reposition himself to gain the proximate advantage to the ball whether the receiver broke in or out. He specifically won many matchups by sealing off in-breaking routes from what I noticed.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64821cfca07fe"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["829412"],"_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":"Thorpe was one of the more competitive defensive backs that I witnessed live. Typically playing in off coverage, Thorpe did a nice job to rally on short passes, break and drive on intermediate routes, and play over the top effectively on the deep bomb. He possesses savviness to bump receivers off their routes without it looking like pass interference and constantly fights until the ball is either resting on the turf or is solely in his possession.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64821cfca0870"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["380409"],"_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":"Completing the trio of Union City defensive backs is the presumptive leader of the bunch, rising senior [player_tooltip player_id='380409' first='Jeyshai' last='Rosario']. The standout defensive back led the way by encouraging his teammates and communicating what he saw, suggesting techniques to deploy on their next rep. Rosario also led by his play setting the standard too. All afternoon Rosario's eyes were on the receiving corps as he sized up the competition. More than a handful of times I saw Rosario calling out the highest performers to duke it out on the field were Rosario often came out on top.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64821cfca08e4"} /-->
