On defense playing safety he can ball hawk, or be a security blanket over the top.  He recognizes when run support is needed and he reacts with elite quickness to come up and make the play. He tackles with low pad level and runs through his targets. His freshman film shows on offense, he is a home run threat each time he carries the ball.  He does really well on outside perimeter runs where he can use his vision and speed to wiggle through and away from defenders. Solid recruit who will have a slew of D1 college interest going forward.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"id":"block_633db3302ca66","name":"acf/hudl","align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"id":"block_633db3352ca67","name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14087674/633108d5e97a1203dc791f03' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_633db3652ca68","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["385345"],"_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":"His consistent play on both sides of the ball, have already grabbed coaches attention. The sophomore is described as a true baller.  He just continues to make plays week after week.  Its it's not by lack of competition.  He simply can play and he enjoys himself while doing so.  On offense he plays multiple positions WR/RB, including being put into wildcat formation and taking the direct snaps. All for major gains or TD home-runs. On defense he can ball Hawk from the safety position while using his speed to help in run support especially on the perimeter.  It's very hard to recognize he is only a sophomore. He plays with such experience and maturity that easily pops. His college interest will heighten after the season if not during the season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"id":"block_633db60a2ca69","name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16199799/6325c1dcab92a40d3c40e75c' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_633db61d2ca6a","name":"acf/evaluation-block","align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_633dc6de4c07b","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["383763"],"_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":"In review of his freshman, (varsity) film,  u0022Howard IVu0022 is a burst of energy and strength that creates havoc for offensive lineman.  He has technical skills combined with speed and quickness that allow him to easily break double teams with force.  His eyes are always to the backfield and is seen making many tackles behind the line of scrimmage as a freshman.  He appears to be a leaner 6u00224u0022 frame with athleticism and good feet.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"id":"block_633ef2f61229c","name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16592058/618f3549b3c87201448e35f7' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BenHowardIV/status/1574227709957382147?s=20u0026t=OypXazSdflA6UXg6z4Hs4A","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/BenHowardIV/status/1574227709957382147?s=20&amp;t=OypXazSdflA6UXg6z4Hs4A </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
