He is already nearing 300 pounds on his bench press and you can see the way his traps lift up his shirt that this kid is developing into something special physically. On the field, Jaden prides himself on controlling the end of the line of scrimmage. Move after move, he displays an array of attacks that leave tackles off balance. Keeping the Quarterback upright will be a task on whoever is tasked with shielding this star.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["378430"],"_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":"Just go ahead and put a 5 star tag on this stud now. Dad played at Georgia so it makes sense why this young man is a dog! Mr. Jacobs stands at 6'5 with the athleticism, tenacity, and focus to take him wherever he wants to go in this sport. No he's not a defensive back, however, this long armed freak doesn't need help containing his side, because he has the ability to create his own island and extend the line of scrimmage all the way to the sideline if he wants. His first step upfield is very deliberate and calculated. Not often someone with such a high ceiling at this age knows his own potential, and is willing to push the envelope to see how good they really can be. In a few weeks we will see [player_tooltip player_id='378430' first='David' last='Jacobs'] keep wowing spectators versus the best in his class and state.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["378373"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Name a reward this player hasn't received yet. I'll wait... I cannot think of any either. DJ is one of the most decorated prospects in his class, let alone his position.  The work ethic is there and he has shown that perseverance is key to his success. At defensive end, you can find numerous clips of DJ beating double teams or leaning around the edge so low he can grab grass. Bring your A game or you will get caught punching air during pass protection.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["416462"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"No shortage of height with this student-athlete. Justin is tall with uncommon power stuffed in a long frame. As he thickens up and widens out, his chops to the forearm, strikes to the bicep, will feel very different from year to year. He has the foundation to build upon and land himself in elite company. [player_tooltip player_id='416462' first='Justin' last='Weeks'] is a reliable player who will have a crazy before and after photo when its all said and done.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["378419"],"_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":"A 6-foot tweener who can get it down standing up or in a 3 point stance. With his Linebacker experience, in fact he played the position last year as seventh grader on the Georgia Future Stars team, you can see how comfortable he is in space and fighting through pullers to get to the ball.  His stats consist of TFL's (tackle for loss) because of his hustle and or double moves that is credited to his determination. Don't overlook his ability to fall into coverage and disrupt bubble screens. He could cause fits coming off that edge rushing and/or disguising coverages.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64665bb45c096"} /--> <!-- 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":838641,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Xzavier Pfister","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_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":"u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnTimes the snap really well with quickness. Comfort level seems to get inside and try to dominate with upper body strength. Moves laterally well and will chase ball down from backside with effort. Pfister is the only Defensive End on this roster that currently IS NOT on the Class of 2027 PRZ Next National Watchlist. However, at 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds and from what I've seen on his film, I look forward to watching him play live to solidify a spot on that industry-shifting list.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-646e538569eaa"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
