When you look up the definition of playmaker right next to it you will see a picture of Williams. He is an absolute stud who plays each game like it could be his last. He is explosive and makes big plays all over the football field. In 2023, Williams had 158 completions for 2,228 yards. He threw for 23 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Williams also rushed 1,004 yards and had 12 rushing touchdowns.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["691289"],"_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":"Goodwin is 6'4u0022 tall and 265 lbs. Goodwin is a big a physical offensive lineman for Kossuth. He has a good base and has good footwork. He is quick and able to set the edge on a defensive lineman when run blocking. In film sessions that I have seen on Goodwin he has been lined up at the tackle position but I see him more as guard at the next level.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["749056"],"_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":"Hill is 5'11u0022 tall and 220 lbs. Hill has quick feet and an explosive first step when he has the ball in his hands. He sees the field better than anyone else on the field. He is able to make defenders miss and at the same time is not afraid to lower his shoulder to pick up that extra yard. In 2023, Hill rushed the ball 128 times for 891 yards and had 9 receptions for 116 yards. He found the endzone 18 times.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["837820"],"_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":"Taylor is 6'2u0022 tall and 220 lbs.  Taylor is one of my favorite players in this class. He is one of the more dominate linebackers I have seen play in this class. He is like a brick wall up the middle. The way he plays the game reminds me a lot of how a young Patrick Willis played. He plays a fast, physical and disciplined defense. In 2023, Taylor finished with 106 total tackles, 16 tackles for a loss and was responsible for five sacks.","_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":"Caleb Estrada","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_weight":"243","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"St. Martin","_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":"Estrada is 6'1u0022 tall and 245 lbs.
