He uses his state record breaking speed to make players miss all over the field. As he has progressed this off season where he has made the most strides is in his route running. He now have a huge tool bag that he uses to get open against a variety of different defenders. Bair has the ability to run pass defenses but also get in and out of his break to create seperation not only over the top but now in the intermediate and quick game. He is one of the most coveted players in the nation and is the gem of the 2024 recruiting class from Idaho.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["484473"],"_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":"West-Baranco might be the biggest stock riser when it comes to players this offseason especially in the state of Idaho where he has put in dominant camp performances. He has won multiple MVP awards this season at a variety of different camps with his ability to be a multifaceted wide receiver. He can beat you in so many different ways and now has a more advanced release tool bag that makes him really hard to press. West-Baranco should be in the running as a top player in the state of Idaho statistically this season without a doubt.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["559312"],"_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":"Craig is Idaho PrepRedzones top rated defensive back and it's not hard to see why as he has the ability to really lock down the a side of a field. He has a smooth back pedal that allows him to play over the top of receivers and easily mirrors them with excellent footwork in man to man coverage. He is a willing tackler and ball hawk that makes plays all over the back end. If you haven't seen him play you are missing out on one of the top cover guys in the entire state,.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["540382"],"_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":"McBride is a star there is no doubt about it when it comes to his impact on the football field. Probably the best tackling defensive back in the state throw on his film and just watch some of the hustle plays he make you will see the elite speed his possess. One of our biggest risers after camp season where he has walked away with MVP awards and has really impressed a variety of colleges and scouts. His ability to play a variety of different types of receivers is what really sets him apart he can cover them all, the smaller fast and the bigger stronger. McBride is going to have a huge year and if you dont know about him now you will when the season starts.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-649b2840393c1"} /-->
