Clark is a truly unselfish player who is willing to line up anywhere for his team, and he gives everything he’s got each snap. He’s a special teams ace who uses his impressive speed to make plays all over the field. Clark flies in to make tackles in kickoff or punt coverage and does a great job staying in his lane. He can block passes and even punts with his active hands, helping him make game-changing plays for his team. In addition, Clark is an outstanding blitzer who breaks into the backfield with breakneck speed. He will be a force on the River Hawks defense for years to come.

Schramm hits like a truck when stopping the run and can force incompletions with well-timed hard hits on receivers. He also possesses excellent hands he uses to pick off passes and move the chains on offense. At receiver, he does a good job shielding off receivers to haul in tough catches. He’s hard to tackle and racks up yards after the catch on nearly every reception.

In addition, he possesses good speed and does a good job defeating press coverage. La’auli-Figiel tricks defensive backs into thinking he’s going one way before breaking back the other. He can also shut down receivers on offense with his quick feet helping him to react quickly to receiver’s moves. La’auli-Figiel is only scratching the surface of his potential and could be one of the class’s top players in a few years.
