Good movement skills when moving, he takes nice angles to the point of attack and is an instinctive player out in space.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["398082"],"_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='398082' first='Drake' last='Fisher'] threw for nearly 300 yards and 4 touchdowns against Grainger High School. Great accuracy and touch to layer throws over the top of defenders. He shows solid poise and technique in the pocket and is a rhythm passer within the pocket. Good versus zone coverage and finding the soft spots to attack. Fisher shows a good deep ball down the field with nice anticipation.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["616543"],"_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":"Otto Vanrensburg is an excellent offensive line prospect out of Sevier County High School and looked amazing in his week 5 matchup. He did a very good job down blocking, attacking the low hip with good technique and hands to displace defensive tackles. Super smooth in pass protection, he shows great feet to mirror and match with great hand usage to stone wall pass rushers. Overall, he is a very technically sound tackle with good athletic ability and play strength.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["540034"],"_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='540034' first='Lucas' last='Szymborski'] put on a show in week 5 against Rhea County with a ridiculous stay line of 6 receptions, 127 yards and 2 TD's.

Good at the catch point, he shows nice body control and attacks the ball at its highest point. On defense, he showed great mental processing on his interception and reading run concepts with AA to avoid blocks.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-650afa3befb41"} /-->
