He has competed at a UCLA camp in the past and has an opportunity to have an expanded role as an upperclassman for Faith Lutheran. Expect his receiver recruitment to heat up this year. Good vision and long speed displayed as a kick returner suggests Aipa can create in the open field at the next level. Good quickness and flashes of acceleration shows eating up defenders' cushion. Coaches like Aipa's combination of effort, size, and strength displayed as a blocker in the run game. Strong hands and good adjustment ability at the catchpoint highlights Aipa's potential to make contested grabs in college.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["212375"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='212375' first='Gavin' last='Day'] is an underrated, versatile prospect who will find a home as a defensive back at the next level. Coaches like Gavin's versatility in run defense and effort on special teams. Watch for teams in need of hybrid defenders to keep an eye on Gavin's development this fall. Gavin impresses with his size, physicality, and natural instincts as a zone defender. Good strength and acceleration gets displayed pursuing ball carriers and finishing tackles in the open field. Length, athleticism, and a fast change of direction shown disrupting passes as a deep safety suggests Gavin has the ball skills to produce in a collegiate secondary.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1048070"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1048070' first='Anthony' last='Broderick'] has the potential to be one of the biggest OL risers in the 2026 class. Anthony has been invited to multiple showcases, but it surprises me he has not received any invitations to college campuses. Expect Anthony's out of state recruitment to heat up as an upperclassman. Anthony's next level combination of size and strength gets displayed driving defensive linemen from the point of attack. A solid anchor and good pop in his punch shows stoning pass rushers in one-on-one situations. Good length and flashes of next level quickness highlights Anthony's potential to handle speed rushers in college.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["876724"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='876724' first='Devin' last='Clark'] impressed as a two-way starter despite limited action in 2023. He has been on a game day visit to UNLV and I would expect more schools to invite him to campus this fall. Devin shows a good combination of instincts and strength holding his ground as a defensive tackle in the run game. Still, the versatile lineman may be rising as an iOL prospect after putting together an impressive sophomore season. Good balance and an athletic change of direction shows squaring up defenders at the second level. Good quickness and a powerful punch shows sustaining blocks at the point of attack.  Devin's versatile pass protector potential and physicality in his finish suggests he has all the tools to play multiple OL spots in college.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1112218"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1112218' first='Tanner' last='Vibabul'] impressed as a sophomore and has a chance to be a rising passer in Las Vegas during the 2024 season. I am surprised the two-sport athlete has received no social media attention, so I would expect 2024 to be a big year for Tanner's recruitment. Tanner's combination of accuracy and poise shows right away delivering pinpoint deep balls in the face of pressure. Good athleticism and arm strength allows Tanner to extend plays with both his legs and arm when forced outside of the pocket. Size, toughness, and flashes of good decision-making when forced to go off script suggests Tanner has all the tools to thrive as a next level pocket passer.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65b6bb85e6095"} /-->
