After watching every clip our cameras caught this past Sunday at the BCP Ignite Showcase, the following stood out the most on film.
| AFTER WATCHING FILM |
|---|
| DEFENSIVE LINE |
| Zach Carter, Hillsborough 2017 |
| What many do not know, the Zach Carter on display Sunday is a much improved upgraded model than last year this time. Did he get his hands too high and use a Bull rush when he wasn’t suppose to…yes. However, his aggressiveness, agility and all around hand work is 100 times better now than it was in January 2015. Coaches praised his work ethic in individuals and were pleasantly surprised with his attitude to improve! Needs to perfect one more pass rush move to keep offensive tackles off balance. |
| Justin Visconti, Wharton 2017 |
| Big body kid with a great motor. Weak spot is foot speed right now. Compensates with strength and hand use. |
| Xavier Lyas, Durant 2017 |
| Has a crazy fast takeoff. Rivaled that of DL MVP Zach Carter. Very physical with his pass rush. Great job using his hands. Will need to improve lower body strength. |
| Eli Morris, Robinson 2017 |
| Showed better feet than expected. Won about half of his 1 on 1 battles. Good balance and improved on his pass rush moves throughout the day. |
| Will Dudley, Wharton 2017 |
| Can play inside or outside. Best asset is his strength. Good initial quicks and plays low. Will need to improve overall speed. |

| OFFENSIVE LINE |
| Matthew Hegwood, Mitchell 2017 |
| Carried a lot of energy throughout the camp. Eager to improve his game. Physical and played with excitement. Did a good job with his arm extension and initial punch. Will need to improve foot speed. |
| Cleveland Reed, Fort Meade 2018 |
| It’s clear that he has a good foundation of coaching. Naturally strong young man with quick feet. Reed made strides in a matter of hours that will help him develop throughout the offseason. He was very imposing in 1 on 1 match ups versus the defensive line. |
| Ethan Gemma, Countryside 2018 |
| His upside is crazy. Such reach and really good feet. Light on his toes and has good lateral movement. Will need to improve in the weight room to increase total body strength. |
| Gordon Sandorf, Countryside 2017 |
| Consistent all day long. Played with a low, wide base. Showed improved foot speed and really good technique. Will need to improve lateral movement. |
| Zach Hauschild, Clearwater 2017 |
| No surprise to us. He entered Ignite as arguably the top Pinellas County offensive tackle prospect in the 2017 class. Sunday did nothing but solidify his spot as he put his ranking on the line to see where he stood against the better competition in the area. He won some and lost some. But in the end he wanted the work and got it! |
