Early, he got down low to make a catch below his knees. He made a short catch and made multiple defenders miss until he was brought down. He caught a crossing route for ten yards and made a diving catch down the middle of the field to set up a first and goal. He grabbed an out route and immediately got upfield for a big gain. On a fourth and three, he made a short catch for the first down and then broke three tackles to get up the field for a 16-yard touchdown. His block on the edge allowed Tevin Ekse to cut up an end-a-round.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["234871"],"_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":"Gurley was the best player on the field for the Hawks. His speed and quickness helped him break a long kickoff return near midfield. He showed good body control with a six-yard catch on an out route on the sidelines. He caught a crossing route for a first down. Then, he made a series of quick moves at the line of scrimmage to pick up twenty yards down the sidelines. Late in the game, the junior made a highlight catch for 40 yards through double coverage. On defense, Gurley made a one-on-one tackle on the outside, forcing a fourth and goal. He also made an immediate tackle on an outside throw for a short gain.","_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":1039710,"_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Jonathan Weber","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Bloomington Jefferson","_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":"Weber is not a big back, but he has excellent feet and good speed. He gets very low to the ground and doesn't give defenders much to hit. Because of his low center of gravity, he often breaks arm tackles. Jefferson ran a pitch to him that was shut down by the defense, but a quick cut by Weber picked up good yardage. Later, he broke a tackle in the backfield, turning a three-yard loss into a three-yard gain. Some of the senior's best moments were small statistical moments. Multiple times, he made a guy miss in the backfield and turned what should have been a loss into a short gain. He has a lot of power to,o. He was hit after one yard but dragged a tackler for a few yards.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["105407"],"_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":"Early, Fox put not one but two spin moves on Jaguars' defenders to get out of a sack and pick up five yards.
