Can play inside as an athletic 3-Tech with his hand in the dirt, or out at defensive end either standing or in a three-point stancernrn- Plays with great tenacity and is a straight quarterback hound. Quarterbacks who think they can outrun him by moving the pocket quickly find out about how fast he is. Impressive foot speed for an eighth-grade defensive linemanrnrn- Part of a scary, talented Delray Rocks 13u team that is headed to the AYFL Super Bowl next week (Nov. 18-19 weekend). At 5-foot-10 and 200 pounds, Owens has a played a significant role on a team that outscored opponents 281-46 during the regular season","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1083862"],"_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":"- Super athletic defensive end out of Inman Middle School in Paris, Tennessee, that looks like he's destined for big things if his eighth-grade season is even the slightest bit of an indicationrnrn- One of three Inman Bulldogs selected to play in the West Tennessee All-Star Game, Rick hit the ground running. All in the first series of the game, he recorded a sack, a forced fumble and three tackle's for loss. The third tackle for loss was nearly a safety on a punter that was running for his lifernrn- Physically he passes the eye test right away. Don't have height or weight on him, but he spends some obvious time in the weight room. As the West Tennessee All-Star Game showed, you can't leave him one-on-one with an offensive tackle","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1084462"],"_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":"- A long, lean defensive end prospect that was part of a super-talented Bowie Bulldogs team this year. He looks like a future pass rushing specialist in my eyesrnrn- With his build and skillset, Sibwedo reminds me a ton of what another Maryland resident and former Penn State/Marshall student-athlete, Shane Simmons looked like in eighth-grade. Simmons was a five-star defensive end/outside linebacker who played his high school ball at DeMatharnrn- While I truly believe Sibwedo projects to a defensive end, he also has some skill as a tight end at this point with his length and athletic ability. Regardless of where he plays, the weight room is going to play a big factor in how fast success at the high school level happens. He has a frame that coaches love, but improving strength at the point of contact will propel him","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1038029"],"_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":"- The fact that Barnett has only been playing organized tackle football for two years should scare and excite a lot of people around the countryrnrn- A two-way lineman for Northwest Junior High in Coralville, Iowa, Barnett is just 3 miles and a short 10-minute drive to Kinnick Stadium, home of the Iowa Hawkeyes. A program that has already reportedly started looking at the local productrnrn- Brute strength and explosion is what separates Barnett from the pack at this point. On top of being a pummeling defensive tackle, he's currently the reigning AAU Junior Olympic Shot Put National Champion with a 59'4u0022 this past August","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1085846"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"- Probably more of an ATH (athlete) than anything else right now, Fulwider is a Sacramento, California-area prospect to start to get excited aboutrnrn- At 6-foot and a very solid 200 pounds, he has a tremendous get-off from the defensive end/outside linebacker position. He fires off the ball hard and fast, but remains under control at all timesu002du002da skill that is often overlookedrnrn- He got it done all season long for the Grant Jr. Pacers at both tight end and edge rusher, recording multiple games with two touchdowns (or more) and two or more sacks","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-654d462f2c255"} /-->
