He is phonebooth quick, he has the ability to change directions in space quickly and his explosive burst allows him to create separation from defenders. Brayden is a superb route runner, he gets in and out of his breaks without losing his speed, which allows him to win routinely at the point of attack. Robinson tracks the football in flight well and he has late hands when he receives the ball. He is an explosive leaper, who excels at the jump ball and he makes contested grabs in heavy traffic with ease. Brayden is weapon on special teams as a returner, he sees the field well, he reads his blocks like a veteran and his explosive speed makes him a threat to score anytime he touches the football. Robinson had 30 receptions with over 700 all purpose yards for Red Oak during his freshman season. Robinson has been hot on the recruiting trail in the month of April picking up offers from Colorado, Kansas, Utah and Arkansas. Expect his production to increase in 2023 and there will be more big plays each time he touches the football.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["278181"],"_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":"Brock stepped into the starting line up as a freshman and never looked back. He has an explosive first step, he plays with great leverage, he has violent hands and his powerful punch allows him to get hands on his opponents at the point of attack. Brock moves well in space, his ability to make the combo block and reach the second level are traits in his game that stick out. He plays smart, he is technically sound and he shows a high football IQ playing the center position like a veteran. As a freshman, Brock was selected 2nd team All-District. Schelf has a year of experience under his belt as the starting center for Plano and he will continue to move the crowd for the Wildcats offense in 2023.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["212429"],"_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":"Hunter is physical at the point of attack, he get his violent hands on his opponents, which allows him to get control of them early and he plays with a low center of gravity using great leverage. Caudill has nimble, quick feet, he moves well in space and he has the speed to get to the second level quickly. Hunter plays with a controlled aggression, he plays with a mean streak and when he gets his paws on defenders they feel his wrath. Hunter was a starter for Grapevine as a freshman on  9-1 playoff team and will be a key cog as veteran for the Mustangs heading into 2023. With recent visits to Oklahoma State and Baylor, Caudill is already on the radar of college programs.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":3,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-644a709c2ef0c"} /-->
