Standing tall and packed with power, he's a nightmare against the defense. Pruitt's got the kind of strength that turns defensive linemen into spectators - just watching as he clears paths wide enough to drive a truck through. But it's not just brute force; this kid's got finesse in his game. His footwork is next level, light and precise, allowing him to adjust and protect his quarterback like from all angles. When it comes to the passing game, Pruitt's technique is top-notch. He doesn't just block; he outsmarts, using his size and skills to keep pass rushers guessing and clueless on where to guy cause he is simply shutting them down. In the run game, he's a mover and a shaker, opening up lanes and powering through to give his running backs clear shots downfield. Pruitt's not just playing the game; he's redefining the role of a right tackle.","_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":"Brandon Johnson","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Lee High School","_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":"Brandon Johnson is a highlight reel waiting to happen. This wide receiver has got it all - speed and agility that makes him a nightmare in open space, and hands so reliable you'd think he's using that sticky stuff. Johnson's route running is an art form, each move calculated to create just enough separation for the catch on anyone. He's lethal at what he do, appearing open even when it seems impossible. Every time he's targeted, it's a chance for something big. Johnson doesn't just catch the ball; he transforms those catches into game-changing plays. Yards after the catch? That's where he shines, turning short throws into long gains. Johnson is the kind of player that not only excels in the playbook but also brings that extra flair, that unpredictable spark that can turn the tide of the game in a single play. He's really something special and he's going to do some big things.","_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":"Tyler Sottolano","_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":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"St. John Paul II","_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":"Talk about a force to be reckoned with, Tyler Sottolano is that and more at the linebacker position. He's a defensive guru, a mix of power, speed, and smarts that makes him a threat in every aspect of the game. Sottolano's got this uncanny ability to read the offense like an open book, predicting plays and disrupting them before they even get developed. His tackling is textbook - powerful, precise, and always on point. Sottolano doesn't just stop players; he stops plays, shutting down lanes and making those key stops that swing momentum. He's as versatile as they come, equally effective against the run and in pass coverage. His quickness lets him cover ground fast, making him an omnipresent threat on the field. Sottolano is the kind of linebacker who doesn't just play his position; he commands it, making him a cornerstone of the defense and a huge asset to his team.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["497852"],"_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='497852' first='Tim' last='Coleman'] might not be the guy in the spotlight, but in the world of football, he's u0022HIMu0022. As a long snapper, Coleman's role is pivotal, and he performs it with a precision that's almost surgical, and yep I said it. His snaps are a thing of beauty - fast, accurate, and consistent, the kind that makes kickers and punters breathe easy. In a game where seconds count, Coleman's ability to deliver the ball flawlessly every time is nothing short of critical. He's the starting point of successful field goals and effective punts, a key player in the game's less glamorous but crucial moments. Coleman's skills might not make the highlight reels, but they're the foundation of a solid special teams unit, making him an invaluable asset to his team. Oh yea, let's not forget he runs down the field to make tackles too! He's really a dawg that can do everything asked of him.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"TJ Cole","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Grissom High School","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"TJ Cole is a beast on the defensive line, a relentless force that wreaks in the backfield. As a defensive end, he's got a blend of speed and power that makes him an absolute terror for any offensive line. His first step is explosive, a burst that puts tackles on their heels and gives quarterbacks a short read. Cole doesn't just get to the quarterback; he gets there with an impact, disrupting plays and changing the game for the better. In the run game, he's just as effective, using his strength and agility to break through blocks and shut down running lanes. Cole's presence on the field is more than just physical; it's psychological, forcing offenses to plan around him, to account for him on every play. He's the kind of defensive end that coaches has to prepare hard for to make sure they're not running his way.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65559ffe3a575"} /-->
