100. Lucas Wheeler Lucas Wheeler 6'5" | 230 lbs | TE/EDGE Trinity-Pawling School | 2027 State NY -Trinity Pawling

Wheeler was a player who went unnoticed in the previous rankings. Wheeler has an elite frame for a TE/EDGE, standing at 6’5″ 230-Pounds, he is built to play the position of TE, and he slots in at the Third Position in the state. Wheeler has pulled in over six offers in the last few months from D1 Programs, and he is a player who should lead the Pawling school receiver room. He has good footwork, and is a YAC machine, keeping his legs moving and making himself a tough to tackle prospect across the field with the ball in his hands. He should work on dropping his hips on cuts, and adding some more speed. Wheeler should see even more interest and offers come his way, and after watching his film it was clear the top 100 was where he belonged.

Background: Wheeler is a new name to the state of New York, and will be returning and suiting up for Trinity Pawling. He can play on both sides of the ball, and his two main positions are EDGE/TE.

Measurables: For both positions the frame is the biggest plus for me when evaluating Wheeler. He stands at 6’5″ 230-Pounds, which is exceptional for a Defensive End, and good for a TE. As a TE he should reach 240-Pounds.

Evaluation: Given his frame, he can lineup outside, and play as a WR. His speed isn’t ideal for a WR, but he has a true TE build which makes up for it. He can make catches through contact, and showcases good hands. He can block as well, and shows good placement and strength with his hands. Wheeler should look to improve his blocking and speed moving forward, and continue to develop route running skills, which can allow him to play all over the field on offense.
