Freshman [player_tooltip player_id='1085112' first='Peyton' last='Francis'] looks to be a problem for opposing lineman for years to come.  What I really like about Peyton's game is his violent side. He's very physical with great, violent use of hands to disengage from blocks. Francis tracks the ball very well and has a great pursuit to make the stop. Peyton does a great job sealing the edge on Tun plays and has the athleticism to contain scrambling QBs. Lots to like about this rising Monarch!","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-655bd68bcfc77"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18696620/6556a2435cb38e03c8ec9faf' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65626acfb78b8"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["499433"],"_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":"Lincoln Southeast's crop of 2027 prospects is shaping up to be a good one! Another freshman that was quick to make his presence known is TE [player_tooltip player_id='499433' first='Mason' last='Cotton']-Mehta, who ended the season second in team receiving yards. Mason finished up with 10 receptions for 192 yards and a receiving touchdown. The impressive part is his average of 19 yards per reception, showing that he can break open for big gains. He has great size at 6'3” and 205 pounds and will only continue to get bigger and stronger. Very impressive prospect with a massive ceiling.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-655bd68bcfd0a"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1070886"],"_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":"6-man football has another towering Frey to worry about for the next three seasons. [player_tooltip player_id='1070886' first='Wyatt' last='Frey'], younger brother of South Dakota commit [player_tooltip player_id='340505' first='Caden' last='Frey'], quickly found himself on the field lighting up defenses. Wyatt torched defenses at an efficient rate, completing 112 of 183 (61%) passes for 1,546 yards and 31 touchdowns to 9 INTs. He has a very promising arm with a pretty solid deep ball that will only get stronger and more accurate as he continues to develop. 6-man football forces QBs to make quick decisions with the ball, which Wyatt does very well. He also shows a ton of toughness in the pocket, holding onto the ball until the best moment to throw it. Wyatt is signed up to attend the Stock Up showcase so I'm looking forward to seeing how he performs there.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-655bd68bcfd47"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19518899/65189f9cc124d307a0b6debd' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65626acfb797f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["720313"],"_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":"Blair's [player_tooltip player_id='720313' first='Ty' last='Tessendorf'] wasted no time inserting himself into the varsity lineup. Not only did Ty earn a varsity spot but he did so in one of the toughest positions to do as a freshman, offensive tackle. Tessendorf certainly doesn't look like a freshman at 6'3u0022 and 240 pounds with the physicality and intensity to go with it. When watching Ty's tape I really liked his mobility both laterally and his ability to get up to the second and even third level for blocks. He has a non-stop motor and stays looking for more work after he's finished off one block. Good hand placement and footwork for his experience. A strong lower and upper body allow him to overpower defenders at the line of scrimmage without giving up positioning. As Ty continues to refine his game, I wouldn't be surprised to see him emerge as one of the top prospects in the state by the time he's a senior.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-655bd68bcfd83"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17090307/654cf737578d9203d8c52009' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65626acfb79c7"} /--> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Make sure to follow @PrepRedzoneNE on Twitter and Instagram to stay up to date with all your Nebraska prep recruiting news.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
