We’re kicking things off with Mr. Erkman who had himself an impressive performance finishing the game with 2 receiving TDs and 1 KOR TD to cap off the win for his team. What was impressive about one of his TDs is how he was able to stack the defender quickly to win over the top and make a one hand catch just outside his reach before breaking vertical for 6. This young man’s foot quicks were on full display in the return game too as once he finds an alley he can set his team up in good starting field position. One area of his game that you need to keep an eye on is his release off the line of scrimmage, here he can gain either outside or inside release adjusting his routes accordingly to create separation from the defender. Once he does so, he can either win over top or secure the catch in traffic in a tight window. Overall, the University of North Dakota Commit showcased why he’s a Top 30 WR for his class in this state and isn’t done yet as Lake Zurich has the goal of making it to the state championship game.

Mr. Erkman can work both as a receiver and as a defensive back. Specifically, on the defensive side of the ball, this young man wasn’t afraid to go up for 50/50 balls on deep shots downfield. Using his receiving skills he was about to high point the ball forcing pass breakups. In run support, he’s also able to secure open field tackles on the perimeter. Keep a close eye on the University of North Dakota Commit this fall as he can make his impact felt on both sides of the ball. Twitter
