Every Friday the staff of ArizonaVarsity.com will take a look at some of the HUDL film that's submitted to us via the subscribers-only TeamAZV forum, and give an honest assessment of what we see, and/or highlight a couple of things we think you need to see.
Today we'll take a look at some of the Chaparral athletes whose season has been delayed by Covid-19.
Chaparral 2021 WR Max Minor (6-4, 195)
"A captain for this Chaparral Firebird squad, Max Minor does a great job of using his 6'4 length to his advantage, consistently out jumping defensive backs to win the 50/50 ball. He's terrific at locating the ball at it's highest point and climbing the ladder to go up and get it. He looked great when we saw him at the Under Armour All-America camp this past February and he also picked up a few D2 offers this past Spring. A big Senior season could force his recruiting pick to back up."
Chaparral 2021 OL Mason Osborn (6-4, 305)
"There's a lot to like when you turn on the film of this 6'4 305-pound Senior offensive lineman. He has solid Junior tape, but I loved this scrimmaged film from last week. Osborn has developed a bit of nastiness in his game this off-season, burying opposing defensive linemen into the dirt and playing until the whistle is blown on every snap. He showed a great, athletic base in pass protection, keeping his hands inside and stoning the defender through the chest plate. Mason Osborn will create a whole lot of space for Chaparral RB's to run through this Fall."
Chaparral 2022 DB Jacob Franze (5-10, 170)
"This Class of 2022 strong safety is a stud. On tape he shows no fear to come up and make a play. Jacob Franze is a versatile player, he can play as a deep two safety or line up in the box and force off the edge. He does a great job of running his hips and driving his feet through contact. I'd expect him to be at the top of the tackle sheet on most Friday nights this season."
Chaparral 2021 DB Jack Whitten (6-1, 180)
"Another selected captain this year for the Firebirds, Jack Whitten committed to Brown University back in August. I love 3rd play from his tape, Whitten shows great play recognition coming up from his deep safety position reading the outside sweep with Ringo, sprinting up and making the tackle for loss. He can cover, he plays through the receivers' hands, and he can tackle. Expecting a big Senior year for the Senior DB."
Chaparral 2022 QB Brayten Silbor (6-3, 190)
" I had the opportunity to watch Brayten Silbor in person last year in the Chap/Saguaro game. The Class of '22 gun-slinger lit up that defense for 300+ passing yards that night, mind you that was a secondary with four future Division 1 DB's. Silbor looked calm and confident in the pocket, and threw really well with pressure in his face. This young man can sling it, and he's getting coached extremely well at Chap. His mechanics are awesome. Can't wait for college coaches to be able to see this young man play in person, he'll be collecting offers soon."
