He's 6'0, a hefty 230 pounds off the edge, yet he closes on the football like he's 20 pounds lighter. In contrast, Funk finishes reps with authority. Opposing quarterbacks are going to feel him if and when he gets inside the pocket. High-volume tackler for a DE prospect, seven sacks on the year too. Should be a 1st-team Mid-Penn defender this time next year.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63bec3df1152f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["558530"],"_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":"6'2, 235 pounds, [player_tooltip player_id='558530' first='Ryan' last='Hazlett'] possesses the desirable physique that will help him provide reps all over both sides of the trenches. Explosive off the line, enough to win reps off the edge despite his heavier set build. That same beef helps him win when kicked inside to IDL. Hazlett displays a great blend of strength and interior quickness to help him serve as one of the better junior defensive linemen in his conference. His reps along the offensive line are equally impressive. I project him to the defensive side of the football strictly because of the attitude and tone he sets on that side of the field. The kid could have a future at OL as well. Could have a top-300 ceiling.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63bec3df11579"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["558457"],"_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":"I have a strong feeling that [player_tooltip player_id='558457' first='Joseph' last='Bass'] is going to outplay this rank sooner rather than later. Bass' tape proves he's one of the more productive IDL on the back half of our rankings. We can project all day, yet numbers don't lie. Bass is a defensive lineman that can legitimately win shading or head-up on guards or tackles. A multi-tech lineman that wins with great upper-body strength. His tape shows he can be disciplined when unblocked or targeted as the man left unblocked against RPO sets. Great feel for the flow of the play. Recognition of pulling linemen is a plus, good vision into the backfield.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63bec3df115be"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JosephBassIV/status/1588944838464241664?s=20u0026amp;t=lgDF8gipZKwZS4HgCjfFGA","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/JosephBassIV/status/1588944838464241664?s=20&amp;t=lgDF8gipZKwZS4HgCjfFGA </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["558416"],"_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":"The lower we go, the bigger and stronger we get. Tough to decide where I like [player_tooltip player_id='558416' first='Basil' last='Walter'], a great problem to have for an interior linemen prospect. His tape shows off quality reps on both sides of the ball. Strength and drive in his lower body are pluses. 6'3, 235-pound frame allows him to be a viable option at guard, where you know he isn't moving with cinderblocks on his feet. He's a viable option kicked inside at defensive tackle as well, where he can overwhelm smaller centers/guards.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63bec3df11603"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["558316"],"_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":"I have a good feeling that [player_tooltip player_id='558316' first='Symauri' last='McCoy'] will land inside the top 200 in our next update. His tape is that good, he's got the accolades to back up this claim as well. McCoy earned Co-Lineman of the Year in his conference, a huge accolade to boast about. 7-minute tape shows how difficult it can be for opposing guards to not only match his strength but even lock arms against McCoy. The reps where McCoy is driven off the ball and steered are few and far between. This massive trench player will undoubtedly see interest on both sides of the ball. Good thing for McCoy, he's already ahead of the curve. McCoy's offensive line reps are equally as dominant as his IDL reps. Fun tape to watch. Potential is through the roof.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63bec3df11647"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/SymauriMcCoy/status/1605994407240548358?s=20u0026amp;t=lgDF8gipZKwZS4HgCjfFGA","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/SymauriMcCoy/status/1605994407240548358?s=20&amp;t=lgDF8gipZKwZS4HgCjfFGA </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
