AOF wants to spread a defense out, AOF utilized Craig as the off-set back in shotgun sets. AOF makes sure they get Craig in space, dumping passes off to him in the flat or giving him toss opportunities where he can show off his acceleration. If Craig is one on one inside the red zone, you can trust he's going to beat his man for a score. Awesome initial burst upfield, his acceleration ability forces defenders to play off his first gear, once Craig has kids where he wants them, he can chop his feet, break on a dime and make the first man miss. He's got homerun-hitting speed to finish runs. Lateral cuts and agility are a plus.  u003c/spanu003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eHe is projected as a solid Division 1 FBS recruit and currently holds multiple power 5 offers.  He earned early power 5 offers while he was still in the 8th grade.u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-646f9b3c63af3"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BuckGoLive/status/1610373174746644482?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BuckGoLive/status/1610373174746644482?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64761111d3548"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["417114"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='417114' first='Gio' last='Lynch-Ruberio']rnrnHe is ranked as the #2 running back in the class of 2026 within New England.rnrnHe plays both RB and DB.

He is aggressive and will deliver the boom with his reactionary skills. Once he identifies run, he has a superior burst to come up and make the play. He is also a very good RB on offense with good traits such as vision and speed, to get to the outside perimeter.rnrnProjected and on track to be a D1 recruit after all is said and done in his high school varsity career.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-646f9b3c63b7b"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/GioRuberio/status/1597321600550187008?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/GioRuberio/status/1597321600550187008?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["453732"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='453732' first='Brady' last='Rossacci']rnrnu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eHe is ranked as the #3 running back in the class of 2026 within New England.u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eHe is a physical player.  Has good ball security when running with the ball.  He follows his blockers well on inside runs.  Has the ability to jump-cut away from defenders to get more yardage.  Saw action on Varsity at Lb and RB during the 2022 season.  He will also be another sophomore sensation that many will hear about in 2023.  He should be a force this 2023 season after earning varsity time as a freshman last season.u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-646f9b3c63be3"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/bradysach3737/status/1611791779195486209?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/bradysach3737/status/1611791779195486209?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["404661"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='404661' first='George' last='Kelly']rnrnu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eHe is ranked as the #4 running back in the class of 2026 within New England.u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003e Has a nose for the end zone and knows how to find it.
