His ability to sustain a block deserves as much attention as his initial strike. This film gives us a closer look at how his balance, hand placement and strength work together, including his response when a defender disrupts the engagement. The run-game work adds another measure of his leverage and competitive finish.
⏱️ :05 | Inside Recovery + Hip Positioning + Washdown Finish
His ability to stay connected gives him a chance to recover against the inside move. I like the composure here. He feels the defender’s pressure, adjusts his body position and uses the rusher’s momentum to complete the washdown.
Run it.
The defensive tackle takes a strong first step vertically into the line before working inside. The guard responds to that penetration while maintaining contact, giving himself a way to influence the defender’s path after losing the initial position.
Pause it right here at :14.
He rotates his hips back toward the quarterback, repositioning his body to bring his weight over the defender. The rusher’s momentum is already carrying him forward. By staying connected and adjusting his hips, the guard puts himself in position to apply pressure along that path and use the defender’s overpursuit against him.
Now run it.
He reestablishes his hand placement and washes the defender down through the finish. This is a recovery win. The inside move initially gains ground, but he remains engaged long enough to regain control and turn the rusher’s forward momentum into the washdown.
⏱️ :31 | Strike Placement + Hand Refit + Sustained Control
His competitiveness shows in how he responds when the rusher clears his initial contact. He immediately replaces his hands inside, maintains his balance and applies enough force to disrupt the defender’s posture.
Run it from the top.
He matches the tackle’s get-off and slides naturally into the engagement. His feet support the initial strike, allowing him to establish contact without letting his upper body get ahead of his base.
Now pause right here at :34.
His right hand lands on the chest plate, with the defender squared in front of him. That inside placement gives him control through the torso while his body remains positioned to account for the rush. He can apply force through his hands because he stays supported underneath.
Now run it.
The defensive lineman clears his hands momentarily. He responds with an immediate refit inside, restoring contact before the rusher can capitalize on the separation. I like how he makes that correction without lunging. His balance preserves the distance he needs to replace his hands and continue the block.
Pause it right here at :38.
The defender’s weight is spilling forward, and his base is breaking down. The guard’s strong hands and sustained pressure are affecting the rusher’s posture, leaving him poorly positioned to generate force or redirect within the engagement. This is where the refit becomes more than a correction in placement. It allows him to regain leverage through the defender’s frame and take control of the exchange.
Run it.
The defender resorts to spinning out of contact away from the play. He has to turn out of the engagement to escape, and that movement takes him away from his rush path. The guard’s ability to stay balanced while replacing his hands allows him to sustain protection after the initial strike is defeated.
⏱️ 1:13 | Functional Bend + Strike Accuracy + Contact Balance
This rep gives us a look at his ability to establish a stout base and handle contact in pass protection. I like the bend he shows for his frame, keeping his setup compact and supported through the engagement.
Run it from the top.
He comes off the ball with bend through his lower half, keeping his weight over his base as he prepares for contact. That position gives him a foundation to strike from without having to reach or straighten up to meet the defender.
Now pause it right here at 1:17.
His strike lands directly into the chest, and he follows it with extension. The accuracy allows him to apply force through the defender’s frame, while the extension creates separation between their bodies. His base remains underneath him, supporting his hands as he takes on the contact.
Keep it running.
He stays stout through the engagement and completes a clean protection rep. The useful detail is how his lower-body position supports the strike. He can deliver his hands with force and accept the collision without surrendering his balance.
There are limited pass protection reps on this reel, so the sample is small. This play still provides a clear example of the bend, strike accuracy and contact balance he can bring to the assignment.
:31 | Sunset High School Reel | Blocking Angle + Leverage + Sustained Finish
His first-step angle and leverage allow him to intercept an A-gap blitz and create a lane at the point of attack. I like the immediate response to the linebacker’s approach, getting into position before the defender can penetrate.
Run it from the top.
The offense is in the I formation, running an iso up the middle. He locates the linebacker coming toward the line and takes an angled first step to meet him. That departure puts him across the defender’s entry path, allowing him to establish contact before the linebacker can run through the gap.
Pause it right here at :33.
He gets underneath the linebacker at contact and stops his forward momentum. The angle gets him to the block, and the leverage allows him to control the collision. He meets the defender from a position where he can apply force beneath the pads, preventing the blitz from carrying into the interior run lane.
The timing matters here. If that first step is late or too vertical, the linebacker has a direct path through the A gap. His immediate movement closes that access and secures the point of attack.
Now run it.
He stays connected and continues working through the finish. His effort does not depend on locating the football. He remains occupied with controlling the defender, sustaining the block as the run develops and keeping the linebacker from recovering into the play.
📖
What I like most about this guard is how his strength holds up within a changing engagement. He can deliver a forceful strike, but his effectiveness extends beyond that first collision. There is composure in how he handles resistance and responds when a defender challenges his position. His balance gives him the ability to make those corrections without having to reach outside his base for control. That is an important part of his physicality. He stays positioned to apply force, giving his hands and strength continued value as the block develops.
His hand usage is one of the strongest parts of this evaluation. He shows an understanding of how placement affects his ability to control another player, with the accuracy to establish contact through the chest and the responsiveness to replace his hands when that position is disrupted. I particularly like that he can make an adjustment while remaining supported underneath. That coordination allows him to sustain pressure through the defender’s frame and affect his posture. His hands give him a way to manage the engagement, recover control and make the defender work to separate.
There is also a useful feel for pressure and positioning in his game. He can recognize where a defender’s momentum is taking the block and adjust his body to account for it. That awareness matters for an interior lineman, where an early loss of position leaves little space to recover. He shows the ability to stay involved and find a workable response. His bend and compact base provide encouraging support for his pass protection, though the available sample remains limited. In the run game, his reaction to an approaching defender and willingness to establish leverage give his strength a direct role in securing space at the point of attack.
For me, his competitive temperament brings those qualities together. He remains committed to the block through changes in hand position, pressure and leverage, continuing to work without needing the football nearby to sustain his effort. His physical approach has technical support, and his ability to adjust helps him remain effective when the initial contact does not settle the exchange. This is a guard whose balance allows him to use his strength repeatedly within a play. Accurate hands, recovery ability and a sustained finish give him a foundation for handling the contact and resistance that come with interior line play.

There is a lot to like about the way he impacts the game because his value is not tied to one specific role. He is not just a route runner, not just a vertical-speed threat and not just a gadget player. He has the ability to create separation, manufacture touches and impact the game in multiple phases. His quickness off the line, short-area twitch and ability to change direction give him the tools to win routes, while his speed allows him to threaten defenses vertically. What stands out most is how naturally those traits work together. He can be aligned traditionally, moved into motion, involved in the run game or given opportunities in space because he has the vision and explosiveness to create once the ball is in his hands.
The Crawford tape provides a strong look at how the offense utilizes his versatility. At :30, he comes in motion on a designed WR pass, showing how comfortably he can be used on movement concepts that force defenses to account for him before the snap. His ability to be involved in different ways creates another layer for the offense because he is not limited to a traditional receiving role. He is also consistently involved in jet sweep and run-game concepts, where his lateral quickness and acceleration allow him to attack the edge and get vertical quickly. At :42 on the jet sweep, he reaches the edge with speed, erases pursuit angles and hits another gear once he clears the initial traffic. The rep shows more than straight-line speed. His acceleration and decisiveness allow him to turn a manufactured touch into a legitimate open-field opportunity, while his willingness to take on contact adds another physical element to his game.
The Silsbee tape gives a cleaner look at the technical side of his receiving ability. Right off the top, he shows good slant detail from the slot, using quick feet off the release and covering ground with four fast strides before planting off his outside foot and working inside. He stays square through the stem, gets across the defender’s face without drifting and accelerates into the throwing window. The footwork is compact and efficient, allowing him to create separation without wasted movement. At :20, he shows another layer of his ability after the catch on the WR screen. He does not rush the rep, allowing the block to develop before immediately jump cutting inside once the lane opens. That patience combined with sudden acceleration turns a simple completion into a 28-yard touchdown. At :40, he contributes without the football by sealing the boundary and sustaining the block without overextending. He stays connected through contact and gives the TE/RB a clean lane outside. At 1:01, the route detail continues to show up on the whip/pivot route. He sells the inside break with his body and footwork, gets the defender to commit and redirects cleanly back outside with separation. That ability to manipulate leverage adds another layer to his route profile.
The West Brook tape adds another layer by showing how he creates separation vertically while maintaining control along the boundary. On the opening go route, he uses a hesitation release to disrupt the defender’s timing before accelerating downfield. Instead of relying only on straight-line speed, he creates his own window through pacing and timing. He also shows good boundary awareness, understanding how to work the sideline without allowing the space to shrink the route. His consistent hands allow him to finish those opportunities when they develop and complete the rep through the catch point. The return reps add another example of his vision and decision-making. He understands when to hit the designed lane with conviction, when to bend behind leverage and when to adjust once the coverage picture changes. He runs with purpose once he sees grass and continues competing through contact.
FINAL THOUGHTS
His biggest value comes from the number of ways he can influence a game. The same quickness that helps him create separation shows up when he is asked to attack space after the catch. The same vision that makes him dangerous on returns translates to his ability to find opportunities when plays break from their original design. The same competitiveness that shows up finishing through contact also appears when he contributes as a blocker. He can threaten defenses vertically, create separation underneath, be used in manufactured touches and provide value away from the football. The film shows a receiver who can be moved around the formation and used in different ways without losing the traits that make him effective. His athleticism gives him the initial tools, but the route detail, vision, spatial awareness and willingness to contribute in multiple phases are what make the overall profile much more complete.

There is a lot to like in the way he blends range, physicality and positional versatility. He plays with urgency, processes quickly and consistently shows the movement skills to handle responsibilities both in space and inside the box. What stands out most is how naturally those traits work together. He can pursue from depth, trigger downhill, handle pressure responsibilities and match bigger receiving threats without looking like a player being asked to operate outside his comfort zone.
The opening rep gives you an immediate look at his functional speed and pursuit range. He closes from distance along the sideline, stays on a clean pursuit track and finishes with real physicality once he gets there. He looks football fast, the type of player whose speed translates naturally once the pads are on. At :36, that same urgency shows up off the backside edge, where he disguises the pressure well, times his trigger and accelerates through the open lane to the quarterback. At 1:05, his coverage versatility shows up in press man against a tight end. He stays physical through contact without losing his feet, carries vertically with a clean hip turn and then redirects back through nearly 180 degrees as the route develops. His feet stay underneath him through the transition, allowing him to recover into position and disrupt at the catch point. At 1:38, the movement skill shows up again when he steps into the box at middle linebacker, slips a lineman climbing to the second level with a quick lateral sidestep and immediately redirects toward the boundary. He takes an efficient pursuit angle to the running back and closes without wasting ground. The combination of range, short-area movement and transition ability gives him the flexibility to affect plays from multiple alignments.
The Samuel Clemens tape is where his run-defense profile really comes into focus. The first two reps are a strong snapshot of how he operates inside the box. He reads through traffic, stays connected to his fit, locates the ball and arrives with force. There is a stout quality to his tackling because he does not simply absorb contact, he creates it. His strike timing, leverage and play strength allow him to stop forward momentum and consistently limit yards after contact. He also shows a good understanding of how to stay available to the play, using lateral movement and body control to work around second-level blockers instead of accepting unnecessary contact. That keeps his path to the football clean and allows him to finish with balance. The intensity is constant, but the important part is that it remains controlled. He plays fast and violent without becoming reckless.
The Canyon High tape adds another look at his ability to operate in space. At :45, he works in zone against a three-man stack and shows good spatial awareness as the route combination develops. He gets slightly aggressive with the initial angle, but the recovery is impressive. He redirects quickly, regains leverage and gets himself back into position to challenge the throw at the catch point. The rep shows quick feet, short-area explosiveness and the awareness to recover when the picture changes rather than allowing one small positioning error to become an explosive play.
FINAL THOUGHTS
His film is built around versatility, but the value comes from how naturally the traits connect. The same movement skill that helps him avoid traffic in the box shows up in coverage transitions. The same acceleration that makes him effective on pressure looks carries over into pursuit. The same physical temperament that shows up as a tackler allows him to compete with bigger receiving threats in man coverage. What I like most is that he plays with urgency without consistently sacrificing control. He can trigger downhill, run from depth, pressure off the edge, match a tight end and finish inside the box while still showing an understanding of leverage, timing and assignment. That gives him a complete defensive profile with the tools to handle multiple responsibilities without looking like a player being forced into roles that do not fit him.

C/O 2029
Jayden Buie’s film shows an explosive player whose athletic ability is supported by a strong feel for how space develops. He has the speed to turn an opening into a big play, but he does not run as though every opening has to appear immediately. There is patience in the way he works with his blocking, particularly when a puller is leading the play. Buie controls his pace, stays close enough to use the block and keeps his feet active while reading the front side. That allows him to recognize a lane without committing to one before it forms. When the picture changes, his response is immediate. He can alter his track, get vertical and accelerate without an extra step to reset. The result is a runner who uses different tempos effectively. His finishing speed stands out, but his ability to stay in position as a play develops is what helps him reach open space.
Buie’s vision becomes more apparent when the first path is unavailable. He recognizes when defenders have outside leverage and understands the value of taking ground vertically rather than continuing toward the boundary. Once he is moving upfield, he can use his running track to affect pursuit. He presses a path long enough to get a defender committed, then cuts against that momentum. His change of direction is sudden, but the move is built on timing and an understanding of where the defender is headed. Buie does not need a wide lane to make an adjustment. His feet respond quickly in confined space, and he remains balanced to carry speed out of the cut. That combination of recognition, setup and movement gives him ways to create even when the defense has taken away the initial look.
The ability to keep processing after the first move is one of the more compelling parts of Buie’s game. He stays aware of the next defender, recovers his balance quickly in traffic and keeps his feet ready as pursuit closes from another direction. His open-field movement is connected rather than a collection of isolated cuts. He can make one defender commit without losing sight of the space or the threat beyond him. That awareness also carries into his work as a receiver. Buie catches the screen cleanly, secures the football and becomes a runner without pausing between those actions. Once the ball is in his hands, the same vision and change of direction appear. The receiving look does not require a separate explanation of his athletic ability; it reinforces how quickly he can process space and act on it.
Buie’s speed is evident in the explosive finishes, but the film also shows it under a very different demand. Following a red-zone turnover, he reacts immediately and pursues a returner who has roughly a 10-yard lead. With no angle to cut off the play, Buie has to close the distance from directly behind. He sustains the chase, gains ground and finishes a touchdown-saving tackle. That rep adds substance to the evaluation because there is no ball in his hands and no offensive opening to exploit. His reaction gets him into pursuit, while his speed and competitiveness keep him in the play until he can make the stop. It shows a player willing to finish a difficult play after it has turned against his team.
🗒️
Buie’s film is built on the connection between his athletic traits and his decisions. He can control his pace behind a developing block, recognize how defender leverage changes the available path and redirect without losing control of his feet. His vision remains active through traffic and after the catch, allowing him to respond to more than the first defender in front of him. The touchdown-saving pursuit adds a meaningful look at his effort and sustained speed without the ball. Buie is an explosive playmaker, but the strongest takeaway is how consistently his timing and awareness put that explosiveness to use.

C/O 2027
Jesse Morgan’s updated film continues to reinforce many of the traits that stood out in the initial evaluation, particularly his active feet, rhythm as a passer, pocket patience and ability to create when the original play begins to break down. What has become more evident, however, is the level of control developing within those traits. His movement in the pocket is increasingly purposeful, with a better feel for using available space while keeping his lower half connected to the throw. He can climb when the pocket gives him room without allowing his base to narrow or his mechanics to become rushed, and that coordination continues to show up in his ball placement. Morgan remains an accurate rhythm passer who throws a catchable football, but the updated tape provides a clearer look at how his footwork, weight transfer and pocket management work together to support that accuracy.
His ability to recognize and respond to pressure is also becoming more defined. Morgan has consistently shown natural awareness of the rush, but this film gives a stronger indication of how quickly he can identify a changing picture without immediately abandoning the passing concept. His eyes remain active as he works through the field, and when protection begins to fail, there is decisiveness in the transition from passer to runner. He can identify the available escape lane, redirect with one efficient plant and get vertical without wasting movement toward the boundary. That efficiency matters. His athleticism has always been part of his profile, but the newer film shows a quarterback using it with greater purpose rather than simply relying on it once the pocket collapses.
The biggest development in this evaluation is the sophistication beginning to show once Morgan becomes a runner. He is not simply escaping pressure and making defenders miss. He is starting to influence how defenders approach and pursue him. There is a noticeable understanding of positioning in the way he uses his eyes, body position and running track to create favorable angles before changing direction. His short-area quickness and lateral agility remain consistent strengths, but there is more calculation behind the movement now. He can press a defender’s leverage, alter the pursuit path and redirect without losing significant momentum. There is a running back quality to his vision in space, particularly in the way he handles one defender before immediately accounting for the next.
That same development carries into the zone-read portion of his game. Morgan shows patience at the mesh point, allowing the read defender to commit before making the decision to keep the football. The timing of the pull and his understanding of how long to ride the mesh give him an opportunity to hold the edge before attacking the available lane. Once he becomes the runner, he continues reading the second level rather than simply racing toward open grass. That combination of mesh-point discipline, spatial awareness and open-field vision adds another dimension to a dual-threat profile that was already established on the earlier tape.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Morgan’s updated tape reinforces the foundation of his game while showing greater refinement within it. The active feet, accuracy, pocket patience, pressure feel and second-reaction ability remain consistent, but there is more purpose behind how those traits are being applied. His movement inside the pocket is cleaner, his reaction to pressure is becoming more decisive, and his athleticism is being used with a stronger understanding of space and defender positioning. The most notable growth comes after he becomes a runner. He is showing a better feel for pursuit angles, mesh-point timing and how to influence defenders before making his next move. Morgan continues to play with a pocket-first mentality, but the updated film shows a quarterback developing more command over the moments when the play moves beyond its initial design.

There is very little wasted movement in Prempeh's game. For a lineman of his size, his lateral agility and ability to redirect are particularly impressive. He moves with the fluidity of a smaller-framed player, keeping his feet underneath him and maintaining consistent spacing. His heels never click together during lateral movement, preserving a stable base through changes of direction. He avoids excessive forward lean and overextension, maintaining balance and body control throughout his assignments. That combination of foot speed and technical discipline carries directly into his blocking execution. The kick-out and lead blocks at :30 and :50 put that athleticism on display, highlighting his ability to cover ground efficiently, identify defenders on the move and arrive at his aiming points with precision.
In the run game, Prempeh consistently fires off the ball with explosive initial quickness and precise blocking angles, positioning himself to establish leverage at the point of attack. He maintains consistent pad level and functional knee bend, allowing him to play with leverage through contact. He generates vertical displacement before using leverage and torque to turn defenders and establish a clean seal along the running lane. His hand placement is deliberate, utilizing his length to maintain separation and prevent defenders from gaining control of his chest. He delivers powerful strikes that can knock defenders off balance, then sustains his lower-body drive to finish blocks with authority. His awareness extends beyond the initial engagement, keeping his eyes active through combination blocks, identifying linebackers as he climbs to the second level and transitioning between assignments with the ability to re-engage and provide additional support as the play develops.
His pass protection is built around a disciplined base and controlled positioning. He fires out of his stance with precise pass-set angles, establishing his positioning early while maintaining the balance and leverage needed to engage the rusher. His lateral quickness allows him to mirror pass rushers while maintaining square hips and avoiding the tendency to open the gate prematurely. Against power, he demonstrates the ability to sink his hips and re-anchor, establishing inside hand leverage with an explosive strike that disrupts the rusher's balance and counters bull-rush momentum. He utilizes his length to keep defenders off his chest, maintaining control of the engagement through the rep. At :14 and 1:02, he demonstrates his awareness against defensive stunts and movement, recognizing developing threats and coordinating with adjacent linemen to exchange assignments while maintaining protection integrity.
FINAL THOUGHTS
The thing that separates Prempeh's film for me is the level of control he maintains while moving at his size. His athleticism allows him to execute in space, but it is his ability to bring that movement under control and establish leverage that makes him particularly effective. I like that he doesn't feel the need to play with unnecessary aggression to impose himself physically. He understands how to use his size, strength and natural athletic ability to his advantage, delivering force when needed without sacrificing balance or positioning. There is a maturity to his approach, knowing when to generate movement, when to maintain control and how to adjust when challenged. Prempeh plays a physical brand of football, but it is the discipline and purpose behind that physicality that make his game stand out.

His ability to deliver with timing and accuracy outside the pocket is the defining strength of his film. His offense uses plays that get him outside the pocket and allow him to take advantage of that ability. He moves well enough to adjust his throwing position, reset his feet and establish a base when the opportunity allows. I particularly like the body control he shows when delivering on the move, squaring his shoulders toward the field while his momentum carries him toward the boundary. He pairs that coordination with the touch to adjust trajectory around coverage and keep the football within his receiver’s reach. That combination makes him effective in the movement passing game, where accuracy depends on coordinating the throw while the launch point and body position are changing.
The relationship between his timing and ball control gives that strength substance. He understands that an available route can require different deliveries depending on the defender’s position. He shows the touch to clear underneath coverage and enough distance control to prevent the football from carrying beyond the receiver. His placement also accounts for the target’s movement, allowing him to lead a receiver through the catch or locate the ball away from defensive access. I like that his accuracy serves the opportunity. He is giving the receiver a favorable ball to finish, with location and trajectory working together to address the coverage.
His anticipation adds another layer to that passing feel. He shows the ability to initiate his release before a receiver enters the break, trusting the route’s timing and delivering to the opening as it develops. Pairing that early release with placement out in front makes the defender’s recovery more difficult. The receiver can meet the football coming out of the break while the coverage has less time to react and close. His efficient transition out of run action supports that same ability to stay on schedule. He carries out the mesh, organizes his feet toward the intended throw and gets into the delivery without an additional alignment correction. These details help him take advantage of the time the concept provides.
I also like the composure behind his execution. He remains committed to a downfield opportunity when he recognizes that his receiver has won, even with a free rusher closing. Holding his position preserves the platform he needs to deliver accurately, and he shows the toughness to accept contact as he finishes. The placement is what makes that willingness meaningful. He gives his receiver a ball that maintains momentum through the catch despite the pressure affecting the throwing environment. That adds an important dimension to his profile alongside his ability outside the pocket.
🗒️
The strongest part of this evaluation is the connection between his passing feel and his execution on the move. His timing, touch and accuracy allow him to remain effective when the throw requires an adjustment in alignment or trajectory. I would feature that ability through designed movement, giving him opportunities to attack beyond underneath coverage and deliver into space outside the pocket. His anticipation complements that strength within the rhythm passing game, while his composure supports his willingness to finish downfield opportunities under pressure. He shows an understanding of how the football needs to arrive, and his ability to apply that understanding while moving is what separates his game in this film.

Tylen Gorham is showing meaningful development in his interior defensive line play, building on the explosiveness, leverage control and physical motor established in his first SAS evaluation. His initial film showed a lineman capable of gaining ground quickly, generating movement through contact and using active hands to disengage. The updated film gives us a better look at how those established tools are working together. What stands out to me is the added patience and variety in his pass rush, particularly his ability to recognize a blocker’s recovery and transition into a counter without losing the opportunity to affect the quarterback. His physical foundation remains a strength, but he is demonstrating more control over how he initiates, adjusts and finishes an engagement.
I especially like the progression in his hand usage and rush sequencing. Gorham is becoming more deliberate with his initial approach, showing the ability to vary his tempo rather than relying exclusively on an explosive first step. His left-hand clearance prevents an offensive lineman from establishing clean initial contact, while his recognition of the blocker’s recovery allows him to transition into a spin counter. The right-foot plant provides the base for his directional change, and the rotation works against the blocker’s shifting position. That sequence is important because the initial move does not have to win the entire rep. Gorham demonstrates the awareness to identify a secondary opportunity and the body control to execute a counter that addresses the blocker’s response. His hand activity was already apparent in the previous evaluation. The advancement is in how purposefully he combines those movements within a developing pass-rush plan.
His ability to penetrate interior gaps remains another significant part of his game. From a three-point stance, Gorham generates immediate ground with his first step while maintaining a low pad level through his A-gap entry. His initial quickness allows him to attack the space between the guard and center before they can establish a secure double team. I like how his pad level complements that acceleration, reducing the blocking surface available as he works through the gap. He also demonstrates effective hand-foot coordination when attacking at an angle. A 45-degree entry paired with a downward right-hand clearance allows him to remove the initial contact while gaining position, followed by left-arm insertion to clear the remaining engagement. The coordination matters because his hands are not operating independently of his footwork. Both contribute to his ability to penetrate before the blocking structure fully develops, including disrupting a run before the pulling blocker can establish his intended assignment.
The power component of Gorham's game continues to provide balance to his quickness. He generates initial knockback through lower-body drive and sustained force into contact, showing the ability to move blockers before working to disengage. What I appreciate in this update is his response when that movement is stopped. Against an established double team, he continues working through combined resistance rather than allowing the initial loss of penetration to end his involvement. His effort to create separation allows him to recover access to the backfield and apply pressure that forces the quarterback to accelerate his release. That ability to remain productive after the first engagement is especially relevant inside, where confined space and secondary contact frequently limit clean rushing lanes. His strength creates displacement, but his persistence and block separation allow that initial power to translate into continued disruption.
There is also a developing relationship between Gorham's physical traits and his recognition of blocking movement. He shows awareness of when a blocker is recovering, when a gap is available and when continued pressure requires a change in approach. I like that his interior production is not dependent on one method of defeating an offensive lineman. He can split an unsecured double team with immediate penetration, generate movement against established contact, or adjust his rush path with a counter when the blocker attempts to regain leverage. His acceleration after disengagement allows him to close on the quarterback, while his ability to continue working through contact gives those initial wins value beyond the first step. The range of techniques demonstrated in this updated evaluation provides a stronger picture of his effectiveness as a disruptive interior presence.
🗒️
The most significant progression in Gorham’s updated film is the connection between his physical ability and his developing technical decisions. His first evaluation established a powerful, explosive lineman with active hands, leverage discipline and a consistent motor. This update adds evidence of a more adaptable pass-rush approach. I particularly like the patience preceding his hand clearance and the timing of his spin when the blocker recovers. Those are the types of adjustments that make his established quickness more difficult to neutralize. His coordinated gap entry and ability to separate from double teams give us additional evidence of how he can affect both run and pass concepts from the interior. Gorham is progressing beyond simply winning initial contact. He is showing more ways to sustain an advantage, respond to resistance and turn his physical tools into backfield disruption. That combination of power, first-step explosiveness and improving rush sequencing represents a meaningful step forward in his development.

C/O 2028
Graeme pairs a college-ready frame with vertical speed, strong hands and the body control to finish outside his frame. His size and mass stand out for his age and position, but his movement makes that build particularly effective. He consistently gets behind the secondary and carries speed through his directional breaks, creating separation without a noticeable loss of momentum. His late hands strengthen his downfield game, delaying his reach to avoid signaling the ball’s arrival to the defender. That timing reflects his hand-eye coordination, while his ability to secure catches away from his body and retain possession through contact gives the quarterback a sizable target with finishing strength. His efficient transitions help him separate at the cut, while his short-area quickness allows him to make defenders miss after the catch. He also contributes on defense, recording 20 tackles at defensive back and providing value on both sides of the football.
The opening rep highlights his catch radius and control at extension. Graeme uses his length to reach the football away from his body, secures possession and maintains the catch through contact with the ground. His adjustment remains coordinated through the finish, completing a difficult reception beyond the initial touch. At :12, the tracking and hand strength are particularly clear. He adjusts to the flight of the pass and secures it firmly at the catch point, showing the ball skills to accommodate the throw’s trajectory and complete the reception.
At :21, his concentration, high-point timing and midair body control create an advantage above the defender. He adjusts while elevated and uses his frame to establish a physical presence in the air, attacking the football at an advantageous height. His strong hands support the finish, allowing him to complete the contested reception. The combination of size, timing and ball skills makes this the kind of rep where a 50/50 ball looks closer to 75/25 in his favor.
The slant at :32 shows how his route pacing creates an opportunity before the ball arrives. He gives the defensive back the impression that he is settling down, then plants decisively and accelerates through the inside break. The tempo change disrupts the defender’s response, and his efficient exit creates separation into the receiving window. He finishes with another difficult catch, connecting his ability to manipulate the defender with the hands and concentration to complete the play.
At :45, his hitch against cushion provides the clearest look at his route mechanics. He sells vertical with speed, pad level and arm drive, forcing the defensive back to respect the deep threat. At five yards, he sinks his hips and brings his feet underneath his frame, using compact braking steps to stop without drifting upfield. He snaps his head and shoulders back toward the quarterback and presents his hands for the catch. The separation comes from the convincing vertical stem and sudden deceleration. After securing the pass, he shows lateral agility to make the defender miss. Pause at :51 and watch how he raises the football away from the defender’s strip attempt while redirecting. He then breaks the tackle and finishes for the touchdown, combining awareness of the defender’s hands with balance and strength through contact.
At :58, Graeme separates at the top of the stem against zone coverage, accelerating out of the break to get on top of the defenders. Pause at 1:00 as the quarterback releases the football. Three defenders surround him, and the throw anticipates his ability to reach the spot. His speed through the transition creates downfield separation despite the concentration of coverage, reinforcing his ability to get beyond defenders from the top of the route.
At 1:06, the drag highlights toughness and concentration across the middle. He extends for the high throw and watches the football into his hands, securing the catch before turning upfield. He remains focused on possession despite the threat of contact, avoiding an early transition into the run. His awareness of the sticks shows as he fights through multiple defenders on the eight-yard gain. It takes several players to bring him down, demonstrating the strength and competitive effort to maximize yards after contact.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Graeme can stretch coverage vertically, win above defenders and create underneath through route detail. His speed gives the vertical sell credibility, while his pacing, compact deceleration and acceleration out of breaks allow him to use that threat to separate. Tracking, late hands and extension make his catch radius functional, and his concentration supports difficult finishes through contact or against the ground. His receiving value continues after possession, with short-area quickness to evade defenders, awareness to protect the football during a move and strength to break tackles. The film presents a receiver whose physical tools are supported by purposeful technique, giving him answers against cushion, zone coverage and contested catch situations.

Emanjuel combines explosive speed with receiving detail that shows up across different route concepts. He can threaten cushion vertically, separate with quickness at the break and adjust his route when the quarterback needs another answer. I like the control in his movement. His hips and feet work together through changes of direction, allowing him to reposition without losing balance or readiness for the football. His hands and ball skills flash consistently throughout the film, from securing passes while transitioning upfield to timing his elevation and finishing above defenders at the catch point. His screen-game value comes from timing and immediate burst, while his long speed gives him the ability to pull away once he reaches space. Defensively, he brings awareness, competitive catch-point ability and a willingness to challenge bigger receivers. He has several ways to affect a game, with technique and recognition supporting the athletic ability.
At :12, Emanjuel recognizes zone coverage on an in-breaking route in the red zone and adjusts as the play extends. He stays connected with his quarterback, working beyond the original route to remain available. At :22, he opens his hips and takes two backward strides while keeping his weight controlled over his base. I like how composed he remains through that transition. He carries his momentum toward the back line of the end zone, avoiding extra gather steps that would delay the adjustment. At :24, he elevates over the defensive back and high-points the pass, showing timing, body control and soft hands to secure the touchdown. He changes his path while staying prepared to attack the football above coverage.
The post at :49 shows how effectively he can attack cushion. Aligned away from the bunch, Emanjuel releases with immediate burst and builds toward full speed through the vertical stem. His pace threatens the defender deep before he snaps inside. I love the twitch at the top of the route. He changes direction sharply and drives out of the break, creating separation and then widening it with his speed. There is little delay between the inside cut and his return to full stride. That allows him to carry the advantage downfield instead of giving the defender time to close back into coverage.
At 1:05, Emanjuel shows controlled footwork and awareness from the secondary. He gains proper zone depth through his backpedal and maintains vision on the quarterback as he transitions. His positioning adjusts with the passer’s eyes, keeping him involved as the throw develops. There is almost a baiting element here, with the target appearing available before he moves to contest the pass. I like how he stays under control while changing his angle and continuing to read the quarterback.
He elevates over a bigger receiver and secures the interception with strong hands at the high point. That is a competitive finish. He plays bigger than his frame and keeps his footing through contact, preserving the opportunity to return the football. Once clear, he gets into his stride and erases pursuit angles on the way to a pick six. His zone positioning puts him in range to challenge the throw, while his timing, grip strength and stability through contact allow him to secure possession and stay on his feet.
At 1:24, his quick slant shows compact footwork at the top of the stem. He uses quick steps underneath his frame to set up the inside break, then redirects without a prolonged gather. I like the efficiency of his feet here. He gets through the setup and into the slant with little wasted movement, showing the short-area quickness to complement his downfield explosiveness on the post.
The screen at 1:37 requires timing with his blockers. Emanjuel allows his linemen to release upfield while he slips underneath across the formation, disguising his path through the initial action. He gives the blocking time to develop before turning upfield. At 1:44, he secures the pass with one hand while transitioning into the run, showing receiving coordination and control through the catch. He connects the reception to his first steps upfield without needing to reset his feet.
I love how quickly he gets going after securing the football. His first strides carry him behind the developing blocks, and he outruns the defensive backfield to the end zone. The catch stays within the rhythm of his movement, allowing him to gain ground immediately. He shows the patience to let the screen establish itself and the sudden change of pace to capitalize once he has the ball.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Emanjuel has speed that can change a play, and I like the skill supporting it. His route work shows the ability to threaten vertically, separate through a sharp break and adjust against zone when the quarterback needs him to stay available. His lower-body control helps him manage those changes, while his receiving coordination allows him to secure the football on the move. He also shows the hand strength and competitive toughness to win above his frame and withstand contact without going to the ground. Those traits translate defensively, where his zone depth and vision on the quarterback support his ability to challenge the throw. He can widen route separation, turn an underneath reception into a touchdown and outrun pursuit after a takeaway. He contributes through designed touches, developed routes and contested catches, with legitimate scoring ability on both sides of the ball. Good player.

Caden Harrell is bringing more strength into a game that already featured twitch, range and closing speed. His first evaluation showed an athletic edge defender who could threaten tackles with his get-off and work free with active hands. What stands out now is his ability to move blockers through contact and sustain that pressure after the initial strike. He looks more settled at defensive end, with the power to complement his quickness. I like how that development is showing up in his play. He can create knockback, keep his legs driving and compress the pocket when the tackle attempts to hold his ground.
His hand usage gives that added strength direction. Harrell times his punch into the chest plate and extends to establish separation before working toward the outside shoulder. The placement allows him to affect the blocker’s position, while his lateral quickness helps him take advantage of the space he creates. He also pairs his step with a swim, clearing the attempted engagement without presenting his chest for the tackle to secure. His earlier film established hand activity. This update shows more variety in how he uses those hands and how closely they work with his feet. The hip flexibility and ability to turn the corner are also more evident, allowing him to redirect toward the quarterback and accelerate into the finish.
I appreciate how responsive he remains after the first block. Harrell can recognize a pulling lineman, briefly adjust his advance and account for the next blocking threat. Against a back positioned to seal him, he attacks the outside shoulder and challenges the blocker’s leverage. Those decisions matter because an initial win can lose its value if the defender runs himself into the next block. Harrell shows the awareness to change his approach while staying involved with the football. His discipline against RPO looks adds to that picture, and he gets his hands up into throwing lanes to affect the pass.
The interior work gives us another measure of his progress. Harrell takes on a double team with a low center of gravity and the lower-body strength to resist displacement. I like his composure through that pressure. He stays engaged rather than trying to spin away, preserving his position until he can shed and finish on the runner. His previous evaluation showed the patience and discipline to defend the edge. Now there is evidence of his ability to slide inside and hold up against multiple blockers. That expands the ways he can contribute along the front, with his strength helping him both generate movement and withstand it.
🗒️
For me, the improvement is in how much more he can do once contact arrives. The athletic foundation remains, including the burst to close and finish, but his updated film shows a stronger presence against blockers and more ways to defeat them. He can clear a reaching tackle, create room with his punch or sustain a bull rush through resistance. I especially like seeing that power produce disruption on fourth down in the red area. His interior work adds versatility, while his recognition keeps him connected to his responsibilities. Harrell is developing the physical and technical tools to make his established movement ability more effective throughout the play.

His feel for developing space gives this tape its identity. He reads the blocking with light, responsive feet, adjusting his track while staying ready to accelerate. I like how naturally his eyes and feet work together. He can anticipate an opening, allow a block to establish itself and recognize when the original path needs to change. His burst makes those decisions productive, while his lateral explosiveness and hip mobility give him options through traffic. There is confidence in his rhythm without hesitation taking over the run. Once he identifies where to attack, his approach becomes direct, with little unnecessary movement between the decision and getting upfield.
The opening reps show how that movement translates under different demands. At :05, defenders coming free force an immediate adjustment. He identifies the cutback and jump cuts out of their path, showing sudden foot quickness and lateral power in confined space. I love his balance exiting the cut. He lands ready to accelerate rather than needing extra steps to recover, allowing him to turn the disrupted entry into a touchdown before pursuit closes.
At :28, the goal line requires a more physical answer. He gets vertical with immediate burst, then uses lower body power and continued leg drive to finish through contact into the end zone. These reps show both his ability to escape penetration and his willingness to attack resistance when the available yards require it.
The sequence at :49 provides a strong look at his understanding of blocking tempo. He keeps his steps short and choppy through the mesh as the blocker crosses his face for the kick out. That footwork gives the block time to develop without leaving him stationary or crowding the blocker’s path. Once the entry opens, he accelerates vertically for a chunk gain. The next snap uses the same concept, but the backfield structure begins breaking down. He recognizes that continuing to wait would work against the run and gets vertical immediately.
I love the contrast between those decisions. He understands the intended timing while remaining responsive to what actually develops. At 1:11, his second gear shows through the outside lane as he runs through an arm tackle before reaching the boundary. His burst lets him challenge pursuit on the short side as well as in wider space, and his north south mentality keeps the run advancing once he commits.
The later reps bring his anticipation and creativity into sharper focus. At 1:44, he reads the second level linebackers and waits for an extra step of commitment before redirecting around his tackle. His hip mobility and foot quickness allow him to act on the space their momentum creates. What stands out is his recognition of where to attack when the initial design is no longer viable. The adjustment answers the defensive movement and gives him a path to a big play.
At 1:53, he anticipates a developing crease with the linebacker waiting beyond the line. He allows his lineman to climb, then redirects through the interior and slices behind the block. He enters as the block arrives, limiting the linebacker’s opportunity to meet him cleanly. He connects his footwork to the block’s development, showing an advanced feel for entry timing at his age.
FINAL THOUGHTS
What stands out to me is how comfortable he remains when a run demands a decision. He can stay patient without losing readiness, redirect when the blocking changes and commit with conviction once an opportunity develops. That gives him value on both well-executed plays and snaps that require him to solve a problem in traffic. His compact footwork and balance help him regain forward momentum through those adjustments, while his acceleration turns small openings into opportunities for larger gains. There is toughness supporting that feel, with the leg drive to finish in compressed space and the strength to continue through an arm tackle. For his age, his understanding of when and where to enter a lane is the strongest part of the evaluation. He makes his blockers’ work count and can find an answer when the intended path closes. Good player.
