Top ranked from the 2027 class William Penn Charter Gianluca Needham Gianluca Needham 6'3" | 250 lbs | OL/DL William Penn Charter | 2027 State PA is set to attend coming off an impressive sophomore campaign. Very technique savy especially with his hand placement, Needham plays the game with a high football IQ. You just love to see how he picks up the blitz or adjusts on the stunt, he will be a hard out during 1vs1s.

Lean, carries a linebacker build, unsure if he plays the OL position because of necessity. Knowing some of the studs at William Penn Charter, I doubt he’s playing guard out of necessity. Freshman tape, great base to work off of. Can double as a ROG/LOG. 230 pounds, light for a guard but the kid gets the job done on tape. Varsity reps from what I can tell, which is impressive in it’s own right. Intrigued if he will continue developing at OL, he’s obviously going to have to put on more weight, but a lot of technical plusses can be seen on tape. Easier to gain weight than teach technique in my opinion. Limited tape, not too lengthy. Starts and finishes reps, plays to the whistle, Needham sprinkles in some serious pancakes far from his pre-snap position. I’m sure the PC coaching staff has a load of work placed in front of Needham, but he’s done enough to get on my radar.
