Sometimes, all it takes for an under-the-radar player to earn their spot is for college scouts to get eyes on them and watch them in person.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This article will briefly examine four players from the 2024 class who have the potential to succeed at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["451354"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eGarcia is more of a known player than some of the others on this list, but his level of attention from colleges has yet to match his talents as a player. He was a defensive lineman before converting to the offensive side of the ball, and he brought that monstrous mentality with him to the other side of the trenches. His strength, athleticism, and speed make him a dominant offensive guard who rarely loses in big-on-big situations. u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eWhen pulling, his nimble footwork and overall speed allow him to get around quickly and lead up to the second and third levels before the defense knows what hit them. Garcia has the size, skill, and natural talent to prosper at the D1 level, making him a player that every in-state school should have on their prospect boards.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["547630"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eHolloway is a standout inside linebacker who checks all of the boxes, starting with the eye test. He has the frame and build that garners the first question that every unknown prospect wants a scout to ask: u0022who is that?” u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eHis movements are explosive, and he comes downhill with excellent pad level and impressive speed. What also helps to make him an instant standout on the field is his power and physicality. He can deliver devastating hits, capable of jarring the ball out of the hands of his opponents. Holloway is still relatively under-recruited, making him a possible steal for the program shows interest first.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["251267"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eEarly is one of the better running backs in the 2024 class and is poised to be a top-tier prospect coming out of the state. He is a powerful runner with great speed and outstanding strength. His excellent vision and ability to use his cuts to identify running lanes and exploit creases within defenses while keeping his legs moving to run through contact is nothing less than extraordinary. He has a solid frame and plays with excellent pad level, adding to his formidable running abilities. Early is a highly talented player who has the capability to become one of the top running back recruits in the state.u003c/spanu003e","_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":"Milton Samuel-Cortez","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Skyview","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"Phenom Factory","_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eSamuel-Cortez is a sleeper with a significantly high ceiling as a prospect. He has a solid build, great acceleration, and good overall speed. His acceleration and shifty route running allow him to create separation from defenders from his releases and breaks. He does an excellent job at getting his head around before fulling coming out of his breaks, which allows him to locate the ball and get upfield after the catch.u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eHis athleticism, focus, and strong hands make him a reliable target with an impressive catch radius.
