Here's a look at five that showed out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1130061"],"_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":"- For the second year in a row, Gilliece was a standout on the Bayside All-Star team at AYF Nationals. Was a big kid last year on the 12U All-Star team, but got even bigger and longer this year for the 13U teamrnrn- He does a very good job of using his length and keeping his outside shoulder free. He does an equally good job of playing the run or rushing the quarterbackrnrn- I was on the fence about whether he was an offensive tackle or a defensive end last year, but after watching him this yearu002du002dhe's a defensive lineman through and through. Once he starts to add on some weight, he could be a really nice 3-4 defensive end","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["984654"],"_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":"- One of the prospects that really opened my eyes, getting to see in person rather than on filmrnrn- With all the other things u003ca href=u0022https://kdvr.com/news/local/5280-jr-buffs-football-14u-national-championship/u0022u003eweighing on his mindu003c/au003e (click the link, I promise it's worth it) it's incredible to see how he well he played with all things consideredrnrn- Anchondo played tough, angry, aggressive and with an attitude throughout the week. After meeting his dad, I don't think he's anywhere done close to growing either.  He's a prospect I'm buying stock in right now","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1130255"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"- If I'm starting an offensive line out of the 2028 prospects I saw at AYF Nationals, I'd be hard-pressed to not start with Hergottrnrn- Smart, hard-working, tough and leadership skills through the roof. As the starting center on the 13U Las Vegas All-Stars, he was literally a coach on the fieldrnrn- In addition to being an elite run-blocker on the gridiron, he's also a gifted baseball player. So much so, that the Nevada-native will be off to famed St. John Bosco in California for high school","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["983204"],"_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":"- Another kid that I would take on my offensive line unit in a heartbeat, if I was starting a team from scratch out of the talent at AYF Nationalsrnrn- Was also a standout defensive linemen too. On both sides of the ball his raw skill set shined through; quick and violent hands, elite first step and a high motor made the difference for himrnrn- My biggest takeaway of Gammel playing, was his leadership that flew under the radar. During pre-game warmup snaps, star QB Luke Rubley would tell him where his shotgun snaps would come in. If they were even the slightest bit high, low or off-center, he would fix it immediately. Loved watching it","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":[1879604],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"- Without question, he was the first prospect I noticed on this 14U team. In fact, I actually noticed him two days prior when the team walked by for practicernrn- Pure muscle; Absolute pure muscle for a kid that's not even in high school yet. Looks the part of a future big time prospectrnrn- Played both offensive tackle and defensive tackle for the Boca Braves. A team that was a relatively unknown to me, before this tournament","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-658f63cef17e5"} /-->
