Cooks plays with relentless intensity and toughness on the field- he's not shy of contact and plays with maximum effort each snap. It's easy to see this in his tackling- Cooks does a great job wrapping up ball carriers in both the backfield and out in space- he uses his instincts and quick reaction speed to be a very reliable tackler. In addition to his tackling, Cooks has shown he can do some damage against the pass as well, whether he's being used as a pass rusher or if he's in coverage. Cooks had a big year last fall that featured him picking up offers from Marshall and Georgia Southern. Be on the look out for him this week as Loachapoka faces off against Beulah- and the rest of the year, he's got tons of potential!rnrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":"","_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='913367' first='Tristan' last='Norman'] is a dominant wide receiver at Carver that really caught our eyes last fall with how productive he was all last year. Norman has some terrific skill at high-pointing the ball and making contested catches- he has a set of very strong hands and a great vertical that allow him to consistently win battles for the ball against defensive backs that are smaller or weaker that he is. Norman is a very talented deep threat as well,  he forces opposing defenses to respect his ability to make big plays downfield with how quick he is able to release off the line of scrimmage and how fast his speed is in general. Overall, [player_tooltip player_id='913367' first='Tristan' last='Norman']'s ability to high-point the ball, make contested catches, and stretch the field vertically makes him a super beneficial passing target for both his quarterback and team's offense as well. After a great year that saw him pick up offers from UAB, Vanderbilt, Arkansas State and others, Norman is set up for a big junior season that will have him and Carver facing off against Daphne this week!","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["764361"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='764361' first='Leo' last='Glover'] is a highly talented dual-threat quarterback at Florence that really stood out to us last year- he plays with a ton of confidence, poise, and awareness. At quarterback Glover has some impressive speed and mobility, he consistently gains significant yardage on the ground and is able to extend plays with his legs to make some tough on-the-run throws that really add an extra dimension to his game. In addition to his mobility, Glover has some terrific accuracy as a passer, he has the ability to deliver precise throws to his receivers regardless of where and how covered they are. Glover also has the arm strength to really push the ball downfield as well, he can lob up passes deep with little effort. Overall, [player_tooltip player_id='764361' first='Leo' last='Glover']'s dynamic skill set as a dual-threat quarterback makes him a real playmaker that can't be underestimated- we're going to have to keep our eyes on him this week when Florence takes on Muscle Shoals!","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["451875"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='451875' first='Trashun' last='Griffin'] is a force at EDGE that has really boosted the effectiveness of Bibb County's defensive front. Griffin possesses a unique blend of power, pursuit, and speed that really helps him dominate opposing offenses. Griffin has an explosive first step and is a relentless pursuer of the ball carrier- he's constantly disrupting plays and applying consistent pressure on quarterbacks while also seriously affecting the run as well. Griffin has great tackling abilities, and that combined with his physicality allows him to deliver bone-crushing hits that can take the life out of opposing offenses. With his ability to shed blocks, quickly close in on the ball, and consistently deliver big hits- [player_tooltip player_id='451875' first='Trashun' last='Griffin'] has turned into a terrific prospect at his position. Recently he committed to Georgia Tech, but before he heads out to Atlanta Griffin has a big senior season in front of him that features him and Bibb County facing off against Gordo this week!","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64e667e450324"} /-->
