He gets into his back pedal smoothly, he has fluid hips and his ability to turn, cut, run and stay engaged in coverage allows him to blanket receivers. Devin has high level on ball production, he has excellent ball skills and plays with a ball hawk mentality. When the ball is in his vicinity, he attacks the football and lays claim to the ball aggressively. At the point of attack in press coverage, he uses his long reach to get hands on receivers early and reroute them off their axis routinely. At six-foot two, Sanchez has the build and frame that college programs seek for next level defensive backs. His u003cstrongu003eStar Poweru003c/strongu003e, has lead to double digit offers from schools around the country.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["286371"],"_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":"When you look for u003cstrongu003eStar Power,u003c/strongu003e Riden Jr. fits that description. He is a powerful, elusive runner, who runs with excellent pad level between the tackles and his superb vision enables him to set up his blocks well. Riden Jr. has nimble, clean footwork, he is shifty in the open field, making defenders miss routinely and his game breaking speed at the second level allows him to strike from any distance on the football field. Riden Jr. has the traits that franchise running back possess, combined with a next level ready build that college programs covet, which has lead to twenty plus offers from schools around the country. He was a key cog in the Desoto offensive attack that propelled the Eagles to a state title in 2022.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["431072"],"_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":"Williams has an explosive first step, he has oily hips, he has deep hip bend in and out of his breaks, he runs sharp, crisp routes and his clean, smooth footwork enables him to win consistently off of the line of scrimmage. He has strong, large mitts that engulf the football, he is a hands catcher that routinely receives the ball away from his body and he has an extended catch radius that allows him to make difficult grabs look easy. Williams excels at yards after the catch, he is shifty in space and he has a burst with the speed to make a house call from any distance. Taz is one the hottest recruits in the country, picking offers in the month of February from, Georgia, LSU, West Virginia and Miami.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["432239"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Meese has a long, lengthy, athletic build, with ability to make plays from sideline to sideline. Parker has violent hands when taking on blocks, he uses his extended length to stalk blockers away from his body and comes downhill under control. He plays fast, he has great closing speed to the football and when plays are run away from him he tracks and trails the ball carrier by taking the proper angles. At 6'2 220 pounds, he has the prototypical size that defensive coordinators covet at the outside linebacker position. Parker shows great instincts, with great eye discipline, that enables him to be in position to make plays routinely. Meese is one of most the highly sought after linebackers in his class and has two more seasons to continue to dominate the competition.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64096a83987ee"} /-->
