Long-strider who eats up cushions pretty quickly and shows above-average speed; able to threaten defenses downfield. Runs routes to all three levels of the field; a lot of out routes, hitches/curls, back-shoulder throws, fades, posts, and go balls. Offers a pretty wide catch radius, and the team ran some plays to take advantage of his size/length. Able to track over his shoulder when working downfield and make pretty good adjustments to the ball. Shows good competitiveness and even some ability to break tackles after the catch.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1069143"],"_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":"Has explosive traits as an athlete. Able to use his size and strength to mix things up in press coverage without getting disrupted. Runs patterns to all three levels of the field. Snaps off routes cleanly at the stem, and doesn't drift or let defenders back in. Shows the aggressiveness to go up and high-point the ball in traffic, and the team trusted him to make those catches this year. Good leaper with impressive body control. Knows how to use his frame to shield defenders from the ball. Body control near the sideline looks good.","_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":"Luke Moatts","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Chilton County ","_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":"Shows the ability to get into and out of breaks quickly, with a low center of gravity. Works back to the ball when targeted on comebacks. Excellent ball skills for a player of his size; compensates for only adequate height with his leaping ability and the consistency with which he high-points throws. Makes good adjustments to the ball when targeted away from his frame. Can be dangerous after the catch and was often targeted on routes into the flats and other patterns of that nature to get him the ball with room to work; nice spin back outside when catching throws off of in-routes/slants.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Cole Davis","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Bessemer Academy","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Very fast receiver and long-strider who gets up to top speed quickly, eating up cushions and putting stress on opposing corners. Goes through routes fast, not needing to gear down much at the stem. Flashes detailed footwork and good sink at the stem when he wants to. Sells the double-move well to create opportunities for deep shots downfield. Shows some ability to improvise and create throwing windows when the play breaks down. Very flexible player who adjusts well to off-target throws, showing good body control. Able to bring in throws away from his frame. Has the vision and agility to make defenders miss and break off some bigger chunks on shorter throws; can stop and start on a dime and favors the back-juke.","_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1653623' first='Jaylen' last='Scott'] ","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"LeFlore","_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":"Huge catch radius that can out-reach the longest and biggest defenders. Will always have an advantage in contested situations. Can fully extend on the move and maintain concentration and coordination to the ball. Long stride speed can stay over the top of the secondary. Will come back to the football, will make up for an inaccurate pass. Has the makings of a security blanket and red zone threat.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65923a587b9da"} /-->
