Led by arguably the best Quarterback in the state right now [player_tooltip player_id='172836' first='Patrick' last='Grusser'].&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Playing in an offense that aims to take advantage of pace and tempo. The 6'2 185 pound Quarterback is able to highlight his great skillset. Patrick is able to first and foremost process quickly. While having four different plays at the line scrimmage he shows the ability to make quick decisions and get it out his first read.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Secondly, Patrick showed what he could do by extending the play. Indicative of the touchdown pass he had to Jimmy Montesano he shows great poise and accuracy when having to throw on the move </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/CoachSchuman/status/1697745959529091374","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/CoachSchuman/status/1697745959529091374 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>PLAYMAKERS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Saint Joes showed that they have an abundance of playmakers and deep when it comes to players who make things happen with the ball in their hands. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["212398"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64fb4a6585b46"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bailey was exceptional when came to doing what he does best and that's making defenders miss. He forced two missed tackles on his to his first touchdown. In addition, show an uncanny connection with [player_tooltip player_id='172836' first='Patrick' last='Grusser'] especially on the scramble drill. Bailey is a force to be reckoned with in this offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/natebailey02/status/1698379177441861976","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/natebailey02/status/1698379177441861976 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["218555"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64fb4a6585bac"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mekhi is a 6'1 160-pound long-framed athlete.
