As they say, big time players make big time plays and that's exactly what this young man did. In crucial moments late in the 4th quarter he was able to come away with TFLs, sacks, and disrupt plays in the backfield. The impact he brings on the defensive side of the ball is second to none as he was getting double teamed all night long. Also showcased his dominance on the O-Line getting good movement up front and even pancaking defenders downfield when run blocking. Currently holds a handful of P5 Offers. u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003eu003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/juustinscottu0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003eu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-6499fe2de24ca"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/PRZJordan/status/1568419349626585088?s=20u0026t=gDdKwiW6wJTC6XT3bqIfJA","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/PRZJordan/status/1568419349626585088?s=20u0026t=gDdKwiW6wJTC6XT3bqIfJA </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_631cecb143dbd","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["267729"],"_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":"u003cimg class=u0022alignnone size-medium wp-image-443453u0022 src=u0022https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/09/IMG_8567-1-225x300.jpegu0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022225u0022 height=u0022300u0022 /u003ernrnMr. Rugai picked off where he left off last season being known as a hard runner that keeps his feet driving through the whistle. On more than one occasion he didn't go down upon initial contact and was able to pick up first downs as a result.
