Mbakwe has some insane speed, a year ago he recorded an 10.4 100 meter, and that speed paired with his size, physicality, instincts, and hands allow for him to shut down everyone he lines up against. In addition to his great skills in coverage, Mbakwe is also a big factor against the run game as well. He does a great job locating the ball carrier and using his speed and acceleration to pursue and make big time tackles no matter where he is lined up on the start on the play. As mentioned earlier, Mbakwe is a huge recruit has picked up offers from nearly everyone in the nation and eventually committed to Alabama last summer.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["282020"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='282020' first='Travaris' last='Banks'] is an incredibly physical defensive back that has been very productive for Northridge. Banks has a lot of versatility in his ability to play multiple positions in the secondary- whether lined up as a cornerback, free safety, or strong safety, Banks excels. Banks' size and physicality make him effective in press coverage on the outside and in the box, while his range and ball skills allow him to excel in deep coverage as a free safety. In addition to that, Banks is terrific in run support, he  displays the willingness to take on blocks and wraps up ball carriers effectively every run snap. Last fall Banks had a big season where he totalled up 42 tackles and 6 pass breakups- and he's sure to repeat the same success this year. Banks has received offers from tons of top tier schools across the nation- listing them from Alabama, Auburn, Florida State and more!","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["340026"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='340026' first='Kaleb' last='Harris'] is a super talented hybrid safety that makes his presence felt in every aspect of the game on defense. Harris has exceptional vision that allows him to diagnose plays quickly and make plays on the ball, whether it's intercepting passes or breaking up plays over the middle of the field with massive hits.  In addition to that, Harris demonstrates a strong ability to stop the run, and utilizes his instincts and tackling skills to make stops near  and behind the line of scrimmage play-after-play. Harris's well-rounded skill set and impact on the game in coverage and run support make him a valuable asset in the secondary and is exactly why he's gotten the attention he has from the next level- he currently lists offers from LSU, Tennessee, Auburn and more!","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["781708"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='781708' first='Cameron' last='Pruitt'] is an highly physical defensive back, is known for his ability that deliver big time hits on a consistent basis for Theodore. Last fall Pruitt really dominanted- he recorded 99 total tackles (15 for loss) 2 sacks, one interception and three pass breakups. Pruitt plays with a certain kind of physicality and aggressiveness that make him a dominant presence in the secondary Pruitt's aggresive nature shines in his play against the run, he routinely demonstrates the ability to take on blocks effectively and pursue ball carriers with a ton of effort to make plays around the field. Pruitt's hard-hitting style can change the momentum of a game and set the tone for his team's defense, which he seems to do near constant- its hard to find a play on film where he isn't hyping his guys up. Currently, Pruitt lists offers from Alabama, LSU, Texas Au0026amp;M and more!","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["237768"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='237768' first='Keion' last='Dunlap'] has been a super reliable strong safety for Enterprise and presents a significant challenge for opposing offenses. Dunlap's disciplined play style, patience, and instincts make him an intimidating player to game plan against as he seems to know what youre going to do 100% of the time. Dunlap has an incredible ability to read and react to plays- allowing him to make sound decisions and avoid getting caught out of position throughout entire games. In addition to that, you can count on him to be a factor in both run defense and pass coverage- using his instincts, Dunlap can diagnose plays and fill gaps easily while also granting him the ability to not be easily deceived by misdirection or play-action plays. Dunlap has a ton of talent and it shows- he currently lists offers from Auburn, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and more!","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-646fba653b587"} /-->
