Fast forward to today, and he has quickly become one of the hottest prospects in the entire country. Since opening his recruitment, he has seen an influx of offers come his way from schools like Auburn, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Alabama, and numerous others. At 6'2 and really impressive in press coverage, it is clear why schools are lining up for Scott. Scott is also an extremely fast, explosive, and physical prospect along with his frame and press coverage skills. He checks all the boxes. Right now, an Auburn-Alabama battle seems to be brewing for one of the more highly sought-after prospects on the trail. Tennessee is also firmly in the mix.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["320366"],"_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":"Odinjor has been slowly seeing his stock rise this season as he has been terrorizing opposing QBs to the tune of 9+ sacks. He has the prototype size for an EDGE rusher as well as all the physical tools. He is explosive, uses his hands nicely, and even does well dropping back in coverage and defending the run. Like [player_tooltip player_id='321495' first='Tyler' last='Scott'], Odinjor was an under-the-radar Liberty commit, but that has since changed. Auburn, Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, Kansas, and others are among the offers he has added over the past month. Right now, Auburn could be a team to watch, but I anticipate a few more suitors will enter the picture before all is said and done.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Solomon Leslie","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Loganville","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Leslie is one prospect that is starting to see his stock rise on the trail while still being under the radar. He has added recent offers from Valdosta State, Bluefield State, and Long Island. You can expect more to be on the way. Loganville is off to a school-best 8-0 start, and they have done it with tremendous production from their senior RB. On the year, Leslie has eclipsed 1000 yards and has added 12 TDs. He has put up those numbers while rushing for 7.5 YPC. Leslie has tremendous vision and a unique ability to make defenders miss with quick cuts. At 6'1 225, he has rare burst for an RB of his size and does an outstanding job of staying upright and powering through tacklers. With his combination of size, patience, vision, and burst, Leslie is an intriguing prospect that will outplay his offer list at the next level.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Blake Ellsworth","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"North Cobb","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"At just 5'10 and around 260 pounds, Ellsworth is considered undersized for his position. However, that has not stopped him from anchoring a stout North Cobb OL for the past 3 seasons. Over the course of the season, Ellsworth has seen several small school offers come in, and he has earned them after starting 30+ games at center in a loaded division/region. Regardless of his size, he plays with great pad level and does have some decent athleticism which allows him to get into the second level. On top of his physical tools, I believe his experience is something that will translate nicely to the next level.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /-->
