A plus athlete that has great burst/acceleration and change of direction. His versatility and natural instincts for the game allow him to play all over the field and impact the game in a variety of ways. Great frame/length for the college level, we should see his recruiting stock on the rise after a strong junior season. <strong><img class="size-medium wp-image-24527 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2020/06/Generic-Featured-Image-2-300x187.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="187" />Lucas James, DB, 2021, Auburn-Riverside</strong> The smooth and athletic DB/WR racked up double digit tackles and one TFL in the one point victory over Kentlake.

Possesses a quick trigger to read/diagnose plays efficiently. Plus ball skills, he shows good timing and confident hands on both sides. <strong>Caden Beazley, RB/LB, 2021, Manson </strong> The Eastern Oregon commit filled the stat sheet in all three phases in the lopsided win over Oroville. Had six TKLs, one sack, and one punt block in addition to his 150 yards rushing and four touchdowns. He plays a very physical and aggressive style of football that is downhill and always attacking. He’s strong and powerful at the contact point playing with good balance, pad level, and leverage. Good lateral agility and short area quickness. <strong>Aaron Hall, LB, 2021, Franklin Pierce </strong> Hall made plays all over the field in the 14 point loss to Washington. He racked up 14 TKLs, five TFL, and two hurries. Good athlete with a versatile skill set. High motor guy that has a great nose for the football and can make plays sideline to sideline.
