<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In 2022, the Franklin Regional Panthers had a playoff appearance and finished the season with a 6-4 record.

He possesses a sharp football IQ and is able to read plays while on the move. Sinclair is a punishing tackler with a great motor. He's a disruptive player that's a gifted blitzer. His sideline-to-sideline effort enables him to explosively hit ball carriers trying to gain extra yards. His agility aids him outpacing blockers with his speed. Sinclair's strength is evident in his ability to engage and disengage with Offensive Linemen during pursuit. While he's relatively athletic, he could improve on his short-area quickness and overall speed.u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6451bb6d0c2eb"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["598898"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eIn 2022, Andrew emerged as a weapon on both sides of the ball. He's got upper body strength and power in general. When he gets his feet moving, he can push defenders straight back. There's still room for him to grow and develop more strength before the season begins. When he really drives his feet into the contact, he pancakes people. He really shines on defense at DT pass rushing. His pad level is low and he's got good power when he fires out of his stance. His run blocking is legit because he skilled at using his leverage. The junior DT led the charge with sacks last season for Franklin Regional.u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6451f59cae6a4"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='915730' first='Austin' last='Kerns']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025 ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Franklin Regional ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eAustin is a determined player who doesn't give up on plays. He has good size for the Weakside LB position at 6'0 190 pounds. As a prospect, he demonstrates proper tackling technique and has decent ball skills, as evidenced by his deflected interception. He plays with grit and resilience, but he could benefit from further developing his strength in the weight room. Austin maintains 4.6 speed and exhibits decent lateral movement. As we look ahead to the 2025 season, he is poised to be one of the Panthers' key returning players.u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["255060"],"_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":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eHudock put together an impressive season in 2022. As a junior wide receiver, he averagedu003cspan class=u0022Apple-converted-spaceu0022u003e  u003c/spanu003e28.5 yards per reception. Ayden has a real knack for finding the gaps in zone coverage. On fade routes, he's fast enough to leave cornerbacks behind, but he's also quick enough to rack up some serious yards after the catch. One of his greatest strengths is his ability to track and catch deep balls over his shoulder. He's also a tough cornerback who isn't afraid to get physical with ball carriers.

He showed good effort running down on kickoffs and consistently made tackles. He is still young, so he needs to continually work on his strength and explosiveness coming off the ball. He is a reasonable blitzer that is good at using hand violence on the edge when pass rushing. Weight training and speed development will be key for Perez.
