Gowans was the most consistent running back all day at the camp. He flashed elite skills in every drill. He was especially good at one on one drills against other linebackers. Gowans showed an ability to cut and make linebackers miss in space. He showed good quickness and burst when running with the ball. He also showed good hands by catching the ball very well.

He flashed the skills to compete when going against other running backs and linebackers. Scruggs is a good athlete who shows good lateral quickness, especially in the open field. He does a nice job making people miss when he is running at them in drills. Scruggs really improved as the camp continued throughout the day and his attitude was excellent. I expect Scruggs to continue to improve and only get better. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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='815273' first='Elijah' last='Johnson']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Milton Hershey","_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-645790055c818"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='815273' first='Elijah' last='Johnson'] Milton Hershey</strong>. Johnson came into the camp a little unknown as a College Football Prospect but quickly made a name for himself at the prospect camp. He showed good athleticism and burst all day at the camp. He was particularly good in one on one drills where is constantly beat defenders. In the individual drills, he showed good bursts and made the proper cuts with the ball in his hands. He caught the ball well and once he got into the open field he displayed an ability to make people miss. Johnson is an exciting College Football Prospect who with a strong Senior year should get some serious College Football looks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
