He was able to handle receivers of all sizes because his track-like speed and hip work were really solid. Louis hit a top speed of 20.94 MPH which he used to seemingly mimic routes to land as a top DB standout.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":731099,"_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='128775' first='Jamison' last='Holliday']","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2495","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Mainland","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Holliday was listed as the top DB standout of the combine series on Sunday and might have just sparked some interest around his recruitment with his overall performance. He catches the eye because of his lengthy and built frame but earned his way on the gridiron with good hand work to disrupt timing combined with decent speed and coverage skills. The 6'2, 180-pounder was tracked at 19.19 MPH top speed and has plenty of time to develop on the fundamentals of the position to be a real playmaker.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":737023,"_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Charles Howard ","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2024 ","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"West Port High","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Was really impressed with how agile and fluid Howard was at the linebacker position. He has a really well-built and compact frame that he combines with decent explosiveness and speed to track down running backs in the open field. Howard led West Port High's defense with 58 total tackles and 14.0 sacks during his junior season. Look out for him to continue adding speed and tone to his build and be an instrumental captain of the defense in his final year.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":3,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6424610a5195e"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"19px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:19px"><strong>*Notable DB | Lineman Standouts </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1122731' first='Elian' last='Godin'] | 2024 | DB | Forest</strong> <strong>| @ElianDB20</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*Top Speed - 21.33 MPH</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sam Ballentine | 2024 | OT/G Hagerty</strong> <strong>| @sam_ballentine</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>David Coleman Jr | 2027 | DB | Orlando Christian Prep | @DavidLColemanJ2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Aleks Freyman | 2025 | OT | Bishop Moore | @AJfreyman2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Josiah Washington | 2024 | LB | Crescent City</strong> <strong>| WashingtonJo14</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Pierre Julien | 2024 | OL/DL | Gateway | @ierree</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jaylen Jean-Louis | 2024 | DB | Lake Nona | @The05_jaylen</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Doby Gibson | 2024 | DB | South Sumter | @doby_fl</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>*Top speed 20.87</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Evan Reinhart | 2025</strong> <strong>| OT | Horizon </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Terrence Griffin | 2025 | ATH | St. Cloud | TJ_GRIFFIN_1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='404637' first='Ty' last='Kadur'] | 2024 | LB | South Sumter</strong> <strong>| @KadurTy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
