has great size (6’3″) and athleticism. On defense, he is a good edge and linebacker. Then, on offense, he is a heck of a tight end. He was used mostly as a blocker, but you see his potential as a pass catcher. At the PRZPA Classic 7-on-7, it will be great to see Poole play as a tight end and as a linebacker. As a linebacker, Poole should excel at guarding wide receivers in coverage. As a tight end, it will be fun to watch him run routes.

6’3, 220, 3.0 GPA. Saw him live at the PRZ PA Winter Showcase. Extremely intriguing positional projection. Could be TE or EDGE/OLB at the next level. Athletic enough to hold his own at WR in camp settings. Tape could show more but traits are clear. Currently unoffered which is surprising. Size and versatility alone should draw attention. FCS-level player regardless of position. Needs refinement and more production. Coaches will want to see him live. One of the more intriguing upside players here.

- 6’3, 220 pounds. 3.0 GPA. A 2027 TE/EDGE prospect out of Episcopal Academy who plays in the Inter-Ac, one of the better conferences in the region. I saw him work in person at a camp back in January and the potential is obvious.
Tape is about three minutes long but it’s enough to see the tools. Poole is a tough football player who can block and operate in-line, yet he also shows flashes of the type of athlete who could develop into an EDGE or OLB at the next level. There’s real two-way value here.
The athleticism is still unlocking, but the frame and physicality are already there. Competing weekly against Inter-Ac competition only helps his projection. If the production jumps this season, the recruitment should follow.
There are clear Division I qualities present in the profile. If the technical side catches up with the natural ability over time, FCS programs should come calling, and the ceiling may extend further if everything clicks.

in action. Although Poole missed out on WR/TE post-camp honors, I’m still inclinded to elevate him off of our watchlist and have him ranked well among 2027 TE/EDGE players. Loved his physique, loved the sure hands on display. Would have loved to see Poole work at LB/EDGE, too.

Also plays physically and can separate. I thought he did a good job with body position during some of the 1v1 reps. Has the natural ability to sack DB’s vertically.
