Trainer Jay Fielding Comments: From my 6 months of working closely with Christian during LBU, I will confidently say that he is a Division 1 football player. Christian has a very powerful story and he trains like his life is on the line. He has the size at 6-1 and 225lbs to be an unblock able force. He has the lateral quickness and speed to cover a lot of ground. He can get to the outside perimeter very quickly. At his size he is able to quickly drop into zone coverage efficiently and he has great hip mobility. He has the capability of forcing many turnovers this season as his physical style will force fumbles upon contact. He also has High Football IQ as he understands what everyone on defense is doing. Christian must be in the conversation when we are discussing the top Inside linebackers in New England.

-Coach Jay Fielding LBU/Pact Performance

Christian Pacheco Christian Pacheco 6'1" | 225 lbs | LB Marblehead | 2024 State New E   He was my favorite performer on the day. His performance on the day earned him Most Valuable Player accolades. His frame brings attention to his skill set and surely passes the eye test. His lateral movement was fluid and quick. He did a nice job with dropping into coverage and displayed excellent cover awareness, transition quickness and ball skills. He reads and reacts quickly.  He brings a high level of strength at point of attack.   Has very good balance and ankle flexibility.  Has an obvious burst in his skill set. I project him as a Div 1 recruit with a high ceiling who will be busy this spring with college coach visits and future summer camp invites.

Christian Pacheco Christian Pacheco 6'1" | 225 lbs | LB Marblehead | 2024 State New E He takes on ball carriers with square shoulders. Has a low center of gravity that allows him to make secure tackles. He certainly has the strength to move the pile.   Delivers bone crushing hits in a/b gap play. Field awareness is excellent. Reacts to pass or run quickly. Would like to see more clips showing his sideline to sideline speed play.
