Donovan Arnold
Donovan Arnold 6'3" | 200 lbs | LB | 2024
UT
<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These four players always find a way to step up when their teams need them the most and never back down from a challenge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Rett Robinson || DB || 5'10 || 177 || Payson High School || 2023</strong><br>Robinson is a shutdown corner on the outside. He excels at undercutting routes and can create game-changing plays by picking off passes. Robinson quickly reacts to receiver's moves and mirrors them to a T. Robinson does a great job locating the ball in air and has good hands that allow him to make spectacular interceptions. Additionally, he's an explosive athlete who flies in to make stops in the run game. He does a good job defeating receivers' blocks and blowing up screens on the outside. Robinson is a physical corner, and his skills on the outside make completing a pass on him easier said than done.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='460227' first='Donovan' last='Arnold'] || LB || 6'3 || 185 || Copper Hills High School || 2024</strong><br>Arnold is a versatile player who can make things happen all over the field. He specializes at getting after opposing quarterbacks. Arnold can blitz from anywhere along the offensive line and impress with elite athleticism. He's quick off the snap and displays good bend on the outside. Arnold has quick hands he uses to defeat offensive lines and can win inside or outside. Arnold also excels at faking like he's going to blitz and then bailing out to slow offenses down in coverage. He reads quarterbacks well and has a good feel for what an offense is trying to do.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Courtney Jeff Fairbourne || WR || 5'11 || 165 || Maple Mountain High School || 2023</strong><br>Fairbourne is an exceptional route runner and always seems to get open. He does a great job tricking defensive backs into thinking he will do one thing before doing the opposite. His releases are smooth, and he breaks in and out of routes well. Fairbourne can take the top off the defense and has elite speed. He tracks the ball well in the air, and once he sees the endzone turns on the afterburners. Fairbourne has a knack for breaking tackles and can make contested grabs. The Maple Mountain wideout will be making more memorable plays in 2023.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jaxon Jensen || QB || 175 || 5'11 || Canyon View High School || 2024</strong><br>Jensen has good pocket presence and understands how to dissect a defense. Defenders have difficulty getting pressure on him as he always seems to avoid incoming pressure. Jensen is willing to hang tough and take hits in order to get significant gains. He's always looking downfield and knows when to step up and make a throw or scramble. Jensen's ball placement is elite, and he does a good job distributing the ball to his playmakers at all three levels. He goes through his progressions well and knows how to trick a defense with his eyes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

These four players always find a way to step up when their teams need them the most and never back down from a challenge.
