The threat he poses as a runner keeps the defense honest which in turn helps open up the air attack. Currently, he holds no offers but expect that to chance after his Senior season this fall. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up winning multiple awards after the season is concluded. u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eu003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/_evanscju0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003eu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6499fea5467c0"} /-->

He has a good frame standing at 6'5 290 and is physical at the point of attack. This is a young man you're going to want to watch carefully to see how he produces and how he maintains control of reps. u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eu003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/x6vier_u0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003eu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6499fea5467ef"} /-->

What stands out the most about this young man is how he continues to work through the whistle and doesn't give up on plays. Turn on his film and you'll see the effort plays as well as his playmaking ability. There's no surprise why he holds a handful of D2 Offers and I expect more to come his way after his Senior season. To sum it up, a high potential young man that is going to turn heads this fall. u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eu003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/Jake_Metze13u0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003eu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6499fea546818"} /-->

His run blocking ability is one to keep an eye on as he can drive defenders back 5+ yards on any given play. With that being said, he does hold an offer from Quincy University with interest from various levels as well. u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eu003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/SamMorgan52u0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003eu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6499fea54683d"} /-->

To sum it up, he didn't disappoint. His ability to go up for 50/50 balls and track the ball on deep shots downfield are one to keep an eye on heading into this season. There's talent across all levels here in IL and Mr. Fatima is a prime example of a 2A student-athlete that has the potential to play at the next level. Turn on his film and see for yourself.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6499fea54685f"} /-->
