Diego Lliteras – Quarterback – Spain – Class of 2023
Throwing mechanics do not generate into power but suggests there is opportunity for growth in that department. His lower half lacks the torque of rotation. His throwing motion cuts off as the ball passes his ear and finishes with a flick. Mechanics aside he puts a catchable ball on deep patterns, giving his receiver an opportunity to make a play. The immediate talent is in his running ability. Play-callers will have the benefit of diversifying their offense with deigned runs. In particular draw plays exhibits his instinctive ability to manipulate the defense when he suddenly transitions into a running motion. He has long strides when he has an open field and gives the defense a challenge to get ahold of him. He needs to give the pass play more opportunity to develop and keep his eyes down when there’s pressure before taking off. Expanding his manipulative prowess can unlock play action ability.
Filippo Petrillo – Wide Receiver – Italy – Class of 2023
An inside receiver that might be best suited as a tight end at the next level. Doesn’t have the adequate speed to go on the edge but he is comfortable catching in traffic. He needs to be more of a hand catcher than a body catcher to make the same kind of plays with a division one team. He was also in charge for kickoffs for his team.
Mateo Dimitrioski – Defensive Back – Germany – Class of 2023
Very entertaining tape. Used wherever needed by his defensive coordinator and impacting the game from any position. Great ball skills hints why he also plays receiver for his team. Disruptive blitzer and aggressively finishes his tackles. He’s also a problem for receivers to block in the run game has he harasses the ball carrier on outside runs. He showed adequate foot speed matched up out wide with a receiver. His skill set and athleticism suggests he would benefit facing the ball as a safety rather having his back to play as a corner.
Romeo Amman – Offensive Line – Germany – Class of 2023
A division one guard body and frame with a thick base built for for road-grading as a lead blocker. Consistent hand placement and wins the leverage battle. A bulldozer when he gets to double team and walls off his blocks. The education will primarily take place in pass protection. Primarily because he’s playing a majority of his snaps at tackle. He has active feet and extends his arms keeping the pass rusher out of his chest.
Bálint Redessey – Wide Receiver – Hungary – Class of 2023
An all purpose playmaker on the offensive side of the ball this past year. He saw action at quarterback, running back and receiver and scored at every position. Strong handed and consistently grabs the ball out of air. Instinctual vision as a ball carrier. He creates a lot of his own opening by breaking down his defenders individually.
