Sears is a big-body target that has a wide catch radius and a quick reaction time. He does his damage running clean routes and making catches against tight pressure. He is a player his quarterback can rely on to make plays even when the pressure is against him. Showcases a strong set of hands to make catches at different points across his body. Shows good ability adjust to passes, makes grabs as long as they are in his neighborhood. Has deceptive speed for his size to elude defenders for big gains in open space. His athleticism makes him a valuable part of the offense with plays drawn up specifically for his game. Is a slasher that takes snaps as a ball carrier as well. He is a hard runner to bring down on the first attempt, shows good lower body strength to keep his legs pumping for more yardage. Sears' big first half of the year has solidified him as one of the top tight end talents in Northeast Ohio.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16071347/6509b806a6783f03582a64a5u0022u003ehttps://www.hudl.com/video/3/16071347/6509b806a6783f03582a64a5u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Donald Johnson Jr","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"St. Vincent-St. Mary","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Donald Johnson Jr is a one-cut back that has the speed to bury a defense behind him for big play ability anytime he touches the football. His speed is often unmatched on the field as a player that can finish off any play with a score. Behind a dominant offensive line, Johnson Jr doesn't need much daylight to reach the second level. Using excellent burst, he can break through arm tackles at the line of scrimmage in openings to get the most out of his carries. His finishing speed is one of his best traits to finish off plays strong. Maintains good balance through openings to take hits and keep on moving. Has good cutting ability to win one-on-one matchups with his elusiveness. Sells his cuts with a hard head fake that sends inexperienced defenders off his pace. Plays well between the tackles and understands how a play will develop in front of him. Has a visible feel for the game to take the best angle possible to lose defenders. Going against a very difficult schedule, Johnson junior has been proving his game each and every week to help build up a strong recruiting resume. He is a player making a name for himself as the season continues.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/13290918/6508f389b534570bdcc9a39eu0022u003ehttps://www.hudl.com/video/3/13290918/6508f389b534570bdcc9a39eu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1092770' first='Keller' last='Moten']","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Walsh Jesuit","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1092770' first='Keller' last='Moten'] has come on strong in his junior season to have his team off to a good start thanks to his sharp quarterback play. Moten is an accurate passer that is a receiver's best friend to deliver a ball on time with room to run after. Shows a good feel of his offense to deliver quick passes in stride that keep the offense in a flow. Gets a lot of torque in his throws by putting his whole core into his deep passes. Shows good accuracy throwing the ball at the third level to exploit weaker secondaries. Effective at back shoulder throws that ensure on his receiver can complete the catch. Is a good runner on designed plays with draws and in the RPO with speed to attack openings in the defense. Has quick acceleration and top end speed to exploit defenses that don't respect his game. A good roll out quarterback with accuracy on the run, very effective in the red zone. Stays behind the line of scrimmage on passing plays, will look for any downfield option before taking off. Moten's skill set gives his team an explosive talent at the quarterback that can deliver in big moments. With his recruitment fully open, Moten is leaving a big impression as a young quarterback.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/13146615/6500a7fbc124d40c20c05f78u0022u003ehttps://www.hudl.com/video/3/13146615/6500a7fbc124d40c20c05f78u003c/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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1154064' first='Landry' last='Brede']","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Mentor","_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1154064' first='Landry' last='Brede'] is a name we will be hearing a lot as his recruiting only goes up from here as a dominant left tackle with a skillset well above his age. Brede has the makeup of a major Division I prospect for his size at 6-foot-5, 275-pounds and physicality playing the position. He already possesses the strength to overwhelm most defensive ends with grace on his feet to move fluently in pass protection. Has the speed to match quick opponents by keeping form when getting into position to keep his quarterback upright. Uses his strength and size to his advantage to quickly clear out defenders by gaining leverage by getting full arm extension to upend opponents. Impressive in the run game, can pull from the left side with proper form then become dangerous when gaining speed to knock over defenders. Often times ends up with a pancake block and has the mindset to look for the next man to block leading to more room for a play to develop. While he already holds an offer to Miami of Ohio, Brede has a high ceiling of potential to pick up some big offers with dominant film.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/14784999/650b213a5cb35d038cab94cau0022u003ehttps://www.hudl.com/video/3/14784999/650b213a5cb35d038cab94cau003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-650c7ca521f7f"} /-->
