He continues to impress with his football IQ and poise under pressure. In recent games, he's showcased remarkable improvement in his decision-making, consistently making the right reads and connecting with his targets. His accuracy and arm strength have also seen significant growth, allowing him to hit receivers in stride on deep routes. Embry's leadership on and off the field cannot be overstated, as he's emerged as a true team captain. With his combination of skills and work ethic, he's a standout prospect worth keeping an eye on. u003ca href=u0022https://x.com/DylanEmbry1/status/1696162030917402999?s=20u0022u003ehttps://x.com/DylanEmbry1/status/1696162030917402999?s=20u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","fullHeight":false,"anchor":"acf-block-650baf7bb8344"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["569904"],"_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":"In the receiving corps, [player_tooltip player_id='983128' first='Hunter' last='Hale'], the go-to target at Helena High, has been electrifying on the field. His route-running precision has improved, and he's demonstrated exceptional hands, rarely dropping a pass. Hale' breakaway speed and ability to separate from defenders are evident as he consistently turns short receptions into explosive gains. He's a dependable red-zone threat, securing touchdowns when it matters most.

Evan's understanding of defensive schemes and his ability to adjust on the fly are commendable. His physicality and agility set him apart, allowing him to handle both pass protection and run blocking with finesse.

Patterson consistently delivers bone-crushing tackles, often stopping opponents in their tracks. His ability to read plays and react quickly has resulted in key turnovers for his team. With the versatility to excel in pass coverage and run defense, Patterson is emerging as a formidable presence in the middle of the field. College scouts should take note of his exceptional linebacker skills and consider him a valuable addition to their defensive roster. u003ca href=u0022https://x.com/RamsayFootball/status/1703821915461132531?s=20u0022u003ehttps://x.com/RamsayFootball/status/1703821915461132531?s=20u003c/au003e","_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":"Demarcus Wynn","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Ramsay High School","_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":"Demarcus Wynn is making a substantial impact on every snap. His explosiveness off the line of scrimmage is causing nightmares for opposing offensive linemen. In recent games, he has consistently disrupted plays in the backfield, tallying multiple sacks and tackles for loss. Wynn's dedication to the weight room and his ability to shed blocks make him a force to be reckoned with. Wynn holds some Division 2 offers at the moment, and if he continues this throughout the season, the sky is the limit. u003ca href=u0022https://x.com/RamsayFootball/status/1703803324838138213?s=20u0022u003ehttps://x.com/RamsayFootball/status/1703803324838138213?s=20u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","fullHeight":true,"anchor":"acf-block-650bb30620ac2"} /-->
