He is smooth in open field, triggers quickly and can bend around blockers when shooting gaps and offers position versatility due to being able to play both inside and outside backer. Cady plays a lot bigger than he is, can get off blocks quickly and is a high motor kid that has been leading the Vikings defense for the past few seasons. Checking into our rankings as a top three linebacker in the 2025 class, he shot up our boards and deservingly so and should be a no brainer next level kid with plus athleticism for the position as he continues to add to his frame.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65b541193b74f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1089995"],"_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":"Leonard is coming off a very impressive Junior season for Lake City, and checks into our rankings as a top 5 linebacker and overall a top 20 kid in his class across the state. He is a true mike backer at the next level that does a very nice job at scraping and closing, fills hard and explodes through contact while showing closing speed and good toughness. He also flashes  some cover abilities in the flats, can sniff out plays quickly and takes good angles in the open field. He is a high motor and violent player that should be a no brainer at the D-II+ level.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65b7d763ba8d7"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1136015"],"_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":"Haws is a plug in the middle of the Owyhee defense, and is a throwback thumper that quickly fills gaps and plays downhill while getting off bigger blockers with hand violence and a low hat when playing tackle to tackle. Haws shows that he can blitz from various angles, and provides a nice pass rush with closing speed and a relentless motor backside when chasing ball carriers. He checks into our rankings as a top 75 player in Idaho, and just inside the top 15 at the position in his class.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65b7d763ba91c"} /-->
