He's just visited Cinci this past Sunday, and I'm confident he'll hold more offers soon.\r\n\r\nI like Slater's release off the line and his ability to win 50/50 balls. If he continues to spend time in the weight room, I can see him being an elite physical receiver.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["437969"],"_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":"Another Roseville player, Desmond Straughton holds offers from Indiana, Akron, Bowling Green, West Virginia, among others.\r\n\r\nHe's coming off an amazing game against Romeo where he retuned a kickoff 96 yards for a TD, and played great defense throughout at the safety position. He knows how to run and he knows how to hit, so I'm excited to see him hopefully develop into a hard-hitting safety, an archetype we all love to watch.\r\n\r\n\u0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["437937"],"_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":"King is a College D1 factory, and it always seems like they have an elite offensive lineman in each class.

He's a two-way player that will be relied on a ton as we gets more experience.

Starting to see a pattern?\r\n\r\nJordin Farrow is a disruptive defensive lineman who constantly works on his body and overall athleticism.  Already with starting experience last season, alongside a great game against Cedar Springs during Week 1, Farrow deserves this ranking. I'm looking to see him get much stronger in the next few years, where he'll become an insane IDL.\r\n\r\nFarrow has offers from West Virginia, and 3 MAC teams (CMU, TOL, Western).","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["247636"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Baker is a big 6'5 EDGE/TE from Cass Tech. He's ranked as the #17 TE in the nation according to WR Hit List, and the #1 2025 TE in Michigan.\r\n\r\nI haven't seen much film of Baker, but if he goes the primarily TE route, I want him to focus on his athleticism and route-running while also playing plenty of defense getting those physical reps in. To be an elite TE, you need to possess elite qualities of a WR and OL. Baker surely has the physical gifts needed, and he'll have an opportunity to make the most of those gifts with dedication over the next few seasons.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["437957"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Jaylen Pitts is a 6'7\u0022 tackle from River Rouge\r\n\r\nStill a raw prospect in many accounts, Jaylen Pitts has amazing physicals. I'm not sure what his wingspan is, or other notable measurements that can be telling of a lineman's potential, but 6'7\u0022 is a great place to start.\r\n\r\nHe's a dual-sport athlete in Basketball and Football, and has a Football offer from Akron.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["437972"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Tate has been an extremely busy man visiting schools like Notre Dame, Penn State, among many others.\r\n\r\nAnd guess what? He was a top performer at the Legacy Midwest 7-on-7 showcase.\r\nWe've had plenty of elite West Bloomfield RB/LB types over the years, and I'm confident that Tate is next up.\r\n\r\nPhysically, Tate is built extremely well and is great, and experienced in pass coverage.
