The Weequahic product has had himself a season, accumulating 85 tackles, forcing 4 fumbles, and picking off the ball once as well. Tyheed is an absolute devastating hitter; ball carriers are shook after coming in contact with him. Tyheed is built like an old school linebacker, he is athletic, strong, explosive, and a threat to any offensive scheme. In the run game, he has the ability to shoot the gap before linemen can even react. In the pass game, he does a tremendous job dropping into his zone and deflecting the pass. Tyheed is a special kind of talent in Northern NJ.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65411b575a0be"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16777024/638a20cdf55f88086012f760' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65411b575a10f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1057673"],"_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":"Arguably the most talented team in the state, Caldwell is stacked on both sides of the ball. To give you a sense of how good this defense is, they have 4 shutouts on the season and have only let up more than 14 points once this season. Skilled at every level, their defensive backfield has been holding it down preventing any success through the air. This effort has mainly been led by [player_tooltip player_id='1057673' first='Jake' last='Gruzas'], the senior defensive back. Tied for the most interceptions in the state (8), two of those have have been returned for touchdowns. He has an unreal presence in coverage and is sure to make it tough on Lakeland to have any success this weekend.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65411b575a169"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1551237' first='Jake' last='Long']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"West Essex","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"West Essex has a stud defensive player in [player_tooltip player_id='1551237' first='Jake' last='Long']. The sophomore has had a huge impact on the field thus far this season, racking up 5 sacks and 42 tackles so far this season. On top of that, he has been a turnover machine, returning a fumble for a touchdown and also returning one of his two interceptions for a touchdown as well.

With 68 tackles, a sack, 2 FF, and 4 picks, Colin has truly done it all for his squad. Colin is a big time presence on the field. Playing from the safety position, Colin has quick acceleration and change of direction, making it easy for him to tempt the QB and jump the route. His impact has also been impressive on offense as well, as he lines up out wide and has caught 566 yards and 8 touchdowns this season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65411b575a24e"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16215107/651023552ab1640408638e89' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65411b575a26c"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Myles Snead","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"West Orange","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Myles Snead is one of my favorite players in the 2024  class. The West Orange safety is found all over the field. He truly flies to the ball, regardless if it's in the backfield or tossed downfield. Myles plays extremely well when rolled up towards the line, piercing through blockers and stopping the running back in his tracks or running through the QB when he's in the pocket. From what I've seen, it is safe to say Myles is one of the best tacklers in the state. Ball carriers rarely slip away from his grasp. That has become apparent through the season, as he has racked up 60 tackles, 20 of those for a loss, and sacked the QB 4 times.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65411b575a2cb"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15107808/651b20b10c540310b03713b6' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65411b575a2ed"} /-->
