His ability to push the downfield forces the defense to account for every blade of grass when game-planning against him. Ellis shows tremendous arm strength and good placement on his deep throws, particularly when working outside the numbers. He can throw bullets, fades, and rainbows that land perfectly in the hand of the receiver. He also shows an elite ability to throw in the face of pressure, which is rare for his age and buys more time for receivers. As a runner, he’s dynamic and has a nice set of wheels when it’s time to go. Ellis shows great elusiveness and vision on designed QB runs and can do damage as a primary running option if needed. https://twitter.com/IJte02/status/1523688805882294272?s=20&t=7p0BETmEhYA2P9vU_z_84A Rod Thomas 6’1 215 RB McAdory 2023 Thomas is a dominant back with a solid blend of size, strength, and speed. His 200-pound frame is mature for his age and enables him to run with authority and physicality and be a tackle-breaking machine. Thomas excels as a one-cut back who can be dangerous in the open field with his strength, where he always seems to fall forward at the end of his runs. Does an excellent job of running behind his pads and winning with leverage. Displays good burst and speed when in the open field. https://twitter.com/MicThomas12/status/1523685525768482816?s=20&t=7p0BETmEhYA2P9vU_z_84A Micah Cole 6’2 285 DT Tallassse 2023 Cole is a solid interior lineman who can disrupt both the run and pass game. For a near 300 pounder, Cole is shows great quick twitch, short distance burst, and consistently gets the jump on opposing lineman. In addition to his swift feet, Cole’s strength jumps off the screen when observing his film. Linemen just seem to bounce off him when he gets into his bull rush, he consistently moves opponents off the spot and shows an ability to shred blocks to make plays in the backfield consistently. As a pass rusher, Cole can collapse pockets and get pressures to make QBs uncomfortable in the pocket. https://twitter.com/MicahCole12/status/1523698551892500480?s=20&amp;t=7p0BETmEhYA2P9vU_z_84A [player_tooltip player_id="132053" first="Jakaleb" last="Goodwin"] 5’8 155 DB Hartselle 2023 Goodwin is a speedy defensive back .. He excels in zone coverage, where he can read Qb eyes, route combinations, and drive on the ball to make a play. Does a solid job of playing through the hands and causes deflections at a high rate. Goodwin’s speed allows him to be disruptive in the quick game when driving on slants and outs. This also allows him to defend the deep ball at a high level. Also shows a willingness to support the run and take on bigger players in the open field. https://twitter.com/_JakalebGoodwin/status/1523832407224426499?s=20&t=7p0BETmEhYA2P9vU_z_84A Mac Smith 6’3 245 Mt. Brook 2023 Smith is a dominant guard whose tape looks like an IHOP commercial- a lot of pancakes. Smith shows excellent footwork and quickness when getting out of his stance. Smith also has excellent lower body strength that allows him to consistently drive linemen 3 or more yards out of the play. He had some impressive reps against the dominant defensive lines matchup, which speaks to his competitive nature and skill. In addition to his skill level, Smith shows a high motor and finishing mentality. https://twitter.com/macxsmith/status/1523858791338500096?s=20&t=7p0BETmEhYA2P9vU_z_84A
