Was a standout in the Lonestar state of Texas, and now will claim his rightful place in Georgia this season. He was names to our 1st Team All-Camp list last year in Dallas and is recognized as an All-American by several. Taylen has great feet and knows how to stay square to utilize his vision at an optimal level. His cuts are controlled and he using his low center of gravity to his advantage on contact. A couple of SEC schools have already had him on campus unofficially. It won't be long until he is on official visits of his choice.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["970537"],"_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":"The first person to get to [player_tooltip player_id='970537' first='Brandon' last='Gray'] is not making the tackle. This kid runs with a purpose and accelerates through the holes running behind his pads. He is physical but controlled when you watch him zig zag through traffic. His balance is also on point, and he runs with his eyes to the horizon which allows him to always fall forward moving the chains. It's not often you see young backs at this age take pride in their blocking as well. I like Brandon's maturity and I don't see an issue with him transitioning to the next level when he's done leaving his mark in Middle School","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["950809"],"_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":"Clements Middle School has a featured back in [player_tooltip player_id='950809' first='Kevin' last='Hartsfield']. He is a bigger ball carrier with speed who finishes runs. At 5'10 180 pounds Hartsfield has no problem carrying the load for his team. Last week he tallied up 165 rushing yards, 98 receiving, and 4 touchdowns in a victory. As a former running back, I love to see players utilize their weapons. Hartsfield does just that. Lowering shoulder, stiff arm, and a violent rip through contact is something you can expect if you're trying to bring him down. Don't sleep on his hands either. Getting him involved in the passing game is just as threatening to defenses who have the task of slowing his production down. This Future Stars RB has a lot of accolades already and looks to follow big bros footsteps to receiving a dozen or more offers to play big time ball.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["721518"],"_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='721518' first='Christian' last='Dykes'] weighs 160 lbs and if you cut him in half, most of his weight would be in his lower half. This chain mover is strong and is recorded squatting three 45 pound plates on each side. When you pair him up in the backfield with Michael Martin III, Gainesville Middle School has options and their competition knows it. Dykes is tough to bring down and displays good contact balance. He pulls through arm tackles like tissue paper and knows when to put his foot in the ground to get hidden yardage.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["978170"],"_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":"The Riverwatch Panthers have a running back named [player_tooltip player_id='978170' first='Ethan' last='Robertson'] who is proportionately built at 5'8 150 pounds. This young prospect has raw talent. Very elusive and breaks assumed tackles. Doesn't have an issue getting in and out of holes using his agility. When his progress in stopped he can re-adjust his path and find a crack to get yards. As he gets more and more carries the better I believe he will become. Ethan won't run out of bounds willingly and sets the tone for his offensive line by being determined.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-650327b6bf3b4"} /-->
