With that said, he surely has a quick first and second step. He uses excellent leverage in his lower body to sustain blockers and still make the play or occupy and carry out his gap responsibility.  Mainly seen as a gap plugger that fights and gives consistent effort each rep.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63d186ac09689"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/johnrovegno_/status/1616475073011159041?s=20u0026amp;t=1urDrCfYa57vqXPZH5qqwg","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/johnrovegno_/status/1616475073011159041?s=20&amp;t=1urDrCfYa57vqXPZH5qqwg </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16322832/638d2d8c4ba85201c09130aa' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63d186ac096cd"} /--> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["385438"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='385438' first='Kash' last='Kelly']  It doesn't take much to see that his speed is a weapon in his skill set.  He actually pulls away from defenders with a 2nd gear after the catch.  Before the catch he can use his quickness combined with speed to get seperation from defenders.

He is also a threat to turn the corner running outside on the perimeter.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63d186ac0973e"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Kash13Kelly/status/1616515479388164096?s=20u0026amp;t=1urDrCfYa57vqXPZH5qqwg","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/Kash13Kelly/status/1616515479388164096?s=20&amp;t=1urDrCfYa57vqXPZH5qqwg </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15061450/636e8741bd6a5b014c66eb56' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63d186ac09764"} /--> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["570025"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='570025' first='Jaden' last='Arterberry']  He fits into the slot position like he belongs.  He is slippery in open field.  Has very good quickness when running his routs.

His effort is consistent.  He has time to still grow and continue developing in weight room.  With that said, he is surely an offensive lineman college coaches will keep on their boards to follow.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63d186ac09825"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/smithmikey56_/status/1616467641933393921?s=20u0026amp;t=1urDrCfYa57vqXPZH5qqwg","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/smithmikey56_/status/1616467641933393921?s=20&amp;t=1urDrCfYa57vqXPZH5qqwg </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16325615/6380e78cda511d0b60c1785c' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63d186ac09846"} /-->

On a weekly basis during this time of year, I look into our film room to take a quick view of updated highlight films we received recently. During my last visit, the recruits listed below posted their highlight link in my Twitter thread. Upon review, I break down a “bit” of what I saw from newly named recruits who were not known to me prior to watching the film and are worthy of knowing.  This preview includes recruits in the class of 2025.
