The 6'3u0022 200 lbs senior makes his biggest mark, and looks his best, at safety. Rutherford looks like a legitimate three level safety. You can play him deep, let him read the QB, and close on the catch point. He has the ball skills to generate turnovers also. You can also rely on the big DB to slide down into the box and be an extra LB essentially. The strength is there to get off blocks, he has good burst to jump short routes or fly through gaps, and is a sound tackler. Lastly, the senior can be used in man coverage over a TE with his size, athleticism, and strength. Gary is a need to know prospect.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65654d3ea8d0a"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15977085/64fcdc914deb2d007c06f7ee' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656555549fadf"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["891210"],"_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":"Coming into the season, I was very excited for Kaden's potential blowup on the recruiting scene. That is what we saw. The dominant tape has the big OL earning PWOs from the FBS level among other offers. The tape is so fun to watch. Kaden is a massive man, with equal power to match. His first punch is devastating, like a heavyweight boxer. The power Garland is able to play with is special. He tosses DL around, drives them off the ball and where he wants them. Plus the big man has nimble feet to be able to stay out at OT at the next level if needed. Either way, Kaden has the size, and power to dominate the trenches and set the tone. Kaden is a steal at this point in the recruiting process.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65654d3ea8d6a"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14757319/653eec89c11a240bd823ae10' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656555549fb84"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["898637"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='898637' first='Filip' last='Rolek'] is looking like a steal in the Class of 2024!

Rolek's strength on the edge is a mismatch for TEs, and he can take on OTs while holding the edge. The senior uses his hands very effectively to create separation and use pass rush moves.
