He flashed explosive short-range burst in testing drills (finished atop the DB group in Broad Jump and L-Drill) and fluid change-of-direction in 1v1 coverage. On tape, he's an active zone defender that shows no hesitation to close space downhill as a tackler and takes proper angles in pursuit. Also handled carries out of the backfield as a sophomore. Chee's a DB to keep an eye on as he continues to grow and develop his skillset in the secondary.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65af160d53538"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/makyachee02/status/1746715448903938073","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/makyachee02/status/1746715448903938073 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1065277"],"_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":"Vengco showed athletic versatility in his overall skillset at last Sunday's PRZ CA Showcase. He's a promising young athlete with the frame (5'8”/175), quickness, and agility to play slot WR, RB, or DB down the line. He's a hard-working kid that should develop into an effective, high-utility player for Crescenta Valley in the future.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65af160d535a3"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Phoenix_Vengco/status/1747499474673692866","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Phoenix_Vengco/status/1747499474673692866 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Gianni Hayes ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027 ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Culver City ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Hayes was looking like the potential MVP of the WR group before being shut down with an injury. He was one of the best natural athletes at the event, finishing first in the 40 among the WRs and top three in all other drills. He's a smooth, slick mover with the athletic skillset and twitch to develop into a highly effective playmaker. Hayes, only a freshman at Culver City, already offers tremendous potential early into his high school career.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65af160d5364b"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["780329"],"_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":"Nelson holds a promising frame at 6'/180 and showed some developing skill as a route-runner in 1v1s. He needs to work on developing his speed, quickness, and overall body coordination but flashes some raw instincts and ability as a playmaker. He was most effective on defense as a sophomore but should draw more opportunities on offense as he continues to grow and develop. Nelson, who transferred to Campbell Hall for his junior season, just picked up his first D-I offer from Colorado St. a few days before the SoCal Showcase.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65af160d5369f"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Jacksonnelson88/status/1746929071857234019","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Jacksonnelson88/status/1746929071857234019 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
