Four Players Expected to “Prove It”

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A large part of our evaluation process involves <em>projecting</em> which players will be strong college players and much of that is based on what happens off of the actual football field. Traits, athletic ability, and technique all go into the evaluation process, but the last part is film.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sometimes, guys will show plenty of the former, but injuries, coaching changes, schematic issues or scheduling makes it difficult for those players to put out tape that matches their potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That being said, when the film finally tells the story, those players can see their stock soar. Here, I've identified a few players whose film could finally show their true talent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63058465a7ade","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["44987"],"_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":"Enos has a strong arm and great accuracy, and while he's flashed on film, injuries (to him and others), multiple schemes, and things like Covid scheduling have hurt him. This year, he's poised for a strong senior season. The schedule isn't brutal, but is difficult enough to let him show his talent against some good defenses. Enos is an underrated runner and hasn't been able to show that as much on tape with a couple of nagging injuries the last few years. Now healthy, he has a great chance to take the next step.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["44972"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Shaw, like Enos, has had a bevy of setbacks in his career. With legit size and a strong arm, Shaw is one of the best quarterbacks in the state. He takes care of the ball, but his offense has been run-heavy for most of his career, unfairly shackling Shaw with the \u0022game manager\u0022 title. After a huge freshman campaign at Broughton, Shaw faced multiple injury setbacks and ultimately transferred. He's only improved since freshman year and now healthy, he'll be able to prove it as a senior.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["319615"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Williams showed why in terms of pure talent, he's one of the best players in the state when he put up some great camp numbers in the spring and early summer. One question college coaches have though is about his durability and if he can stick at one position. As a senior, he's already having a huge year and I expect that to continue the rest of the season.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["145098"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Patton has long been one of my favorite defensive backs in the state, but a transfer meant he got a bit lost in the shuffle. He's had some impressive camp performances which have led to a few offers, but a strong season on the field could help him expand his offer list. He's long and has good feet, leading my to think he could succeed as a corner at the next level.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"edit"} /-->
