Spurbeck is a savvy playmaker on both sides of the ball. He shows excellent versatility lining up as a RB, WR, or DB. He's an instinctual player that possesses a great awareness and feel for the game. As a ball carrier, he has good vision to see the whole field and create angles taking advantage of defenders leverage in the open field. Strong change of direction and acceleration out of his cuts to break away from tacklers and turn short plays into long gains. Good hands and natural pass catcher from the backfield or split out wide. As a sophomore, he had 1,000 scrimmage yards rushing for 450 adding 550 receiving with nine touchdowns.

Flashes good ability as a receiver but could project as an edge prospect at the college level depending on how he develops. He possesses good natural movement skills, body control, and coordination. As a receiver, he's got a large catch radius and attacks the ball in the air being strong at the catch point and extending out. Confident hand catcher and rarely allows the ball to get into this body. Tough tackle after the catch given his size and strength. Off the edge, he's fast out of his stance firing out with good initial quickness and shows he can work laterally and redirect in pursuit. Also a very good basketball player with leaping ability.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Rankings Newcomers: </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6309439095bb6","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["338810"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Kane is a dual sport athlete (football/basketball) that is playmaker on both sides of the ball at WR and DB. Well-balanced frame at 5'11” 180 lbs. he's a smart and calculated player that puts himself in position to be a difference maker. Really like his ability as a DB, shows good instincts and eye discipline allowing him to quickly diagnose plays and anticipate as its developing. He understands his assignment and is a reliable open field tackler that wraps up to the ground. As a receiver, he does a good job finding the soft spot in the defense and proves he can catch in traffic. Would like to see him build on his burst and strength at the POA. Voted second team all-league on both sides of the ball as a sophomore.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/_jjkane/status/1457891466693410823?s=20u0026t=H-8a_EFLT_MPFOkHjRAWPw","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/_jjkane/status/1457891466693410823?s=20&amp;t=H-8a_EFLT_MPFOkHjRAWPw </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_630943ba95bb7","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["338811"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The 6'1” 190 lb. athlete out of Yelm is expected to have a big junior year. Started at DB last year but also flashed a good skillset as a wideout. He projects on the defensive side at the next level where he shows good natural ability to cover all three levels of the field. Good speed, quick feet, and smooth hips to transition out of his back pedal and change directions. He anticipates routes well allowing him to break on the ball and quickly close space. Plus technique and footwork. Quick to read and react diagnosing plays as they develop. Loves his ability to effectively cover vertically and play the ball in the air without drawing a flag. Quality college prospect that should see his recruiting stock on the rise with a strong junior year.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_630943d295bb8","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["338793"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Diezel's a plus athlete with a versatile skillset to impact the game from multiple positions on both sides of the ball. He shows good fluidity and body control in addition to his all-around speed and lateral quickness. He's a homerun threat with the ball in his hands using his top end speed and elusiveness in the open field. Good ability to get north/south and then use his vision and awareness to find space or create open running lanes for himself. Like his contact balance and leg drive to break tackles at the first and second levels. As a sophomore he rushed for 1,600 yards and 17 touchdowns and was voted the GSL All-Purpose MVP. He's an explosive playmaker wherever he lines up and expect to see him climbing rankings and recruiting boards as he continues to develop and showcase his skillset.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/DiezelRuns/status/1457806845649715202?s=20u0026t=bwDoLJwaTX8hj0fX16wH0A","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/DiezelRuns/status/1457806845649715202?s=20&amp;t=bwDoLJwaTX8hj0fX16wH0A </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
