He is a low to the ground compact runner with forward lean, leg drive through contact and a sure handed receiver out of the backfield. As we move through the Spring and summer, he could move into our ranks as we draw closer to the season and could have a breakout year. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["740605"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":756019,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6430c026c7419"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Thompson is another up and coming back that should burst onto the varsity scene in 2023 and make a name for himself this Fall. He is a tough and physical runner with a first level burst and shows some vision in tight windows while able to break arm and ankle tackles in the short area and showing some cutback abilities as well. Currently, he checks in as our number five back in the most recent rankings. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["740813"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6430c026c7470"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sonner-Cranney is a multi-sport athlete that can play a variety of positions as he passes the eye test and offers length, and natural strength/power. He is an upright long strider that covers ground and runs behind his pads while flashing open field speed and has the short area wiggle to bounce it outside when needed and shows he is patient and waits for his blocks to develop inside the tackles. The multi-way starter is also one of the top wrestlers in the region and is one of the better athletes to know in the 2025 class. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
