He flew around, and made some really key stops to keep Romeo in this one. I was impressed not only with his physical dominance, but his clear football IQ was super high as well. He read plays quicker than anyone else, and had the physical ability to get there and make plays. The CMU commit is going to be a huge piece of the Romeo Bulldogs success, and I am excited to see how he performs in his final high school season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Carter Sutton","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Romeo","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Nobody was going to outwork Carter on Friday. He didn't take a play off, and was giving maximum effort on every play. It paid off too as he was in the backfield a ton, and was in on most plays. Wherever the ball was, he was as well. As he develops more and gets a bit bigger and quicker off the ball, he will be a big problem in the MAC-Red conference.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["430963"],"_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":"Jaxson was as advertised on Friday. He had a fumble recovery that proved to be huge, and he came up with a sack when his team needed it most. Engelberg is going to be playing on Saturdays next year for sure, and with another productive year like last season, he could have a lot of options. His motor is high, he's really athletic for his size, and he fires off the ball hard. I hope I can catch him in action later in the season to see even more improvement, which I expect from him as I know he is a hard worker.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Parker Little ","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2495","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Caledonia","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Parker was lockstep with the Romeo receivers all game long, and I was really impressed with the closeout speed he displayed. Whenever the WR broke on his route, Parker was jumping all over the receiver. He's got really good footwork, and reads the WR well, and plays the ball. I was unfamiliar with his game, but after doing some research I see he's a very good basketball player as well, so I can definitely see it translating to the football field. The Junior has a lot of learning left to do, but he showed a fantastic base t0 be a really good DB.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64ef6b54bffd5"} /-->
