He has very nice size for the position and is tremendous and run support while running through contact and playing violent in the box against bigger bodies. He flashes natural instinct when jumping routes and has good ball skills while able to make big plays with a ball in his hands in transition. He is another high IQ player that breaks quickly without taking false steps, is not afraid of contact and does a very nice job at staying patient before breaking on the ball. He should find a home at strong safety or outside linebacker and is a no brainer NAIA/D2+ caliber kid at the next level.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65b003e75863a"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1135345"],"_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":"Younis enters into our rankings as one of the more balanced defensive backs across the region in the 2024 class and is very deserving to enter into the defensive back group. He is a versatile athlete that can also kick, punt and play special teams, and could find his home there at the next level. In 2023, he helped lead Highland to  a 11-1 overall record, and a 5-A Idaho State Championship, crowning them the top team in the state in 2023. His personal accolades include Second Team All-State Honors.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65b003e7585a8"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1125163"],"_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":"Dunkel checks into our rankings just inside the top 100 overall in the 2024 class across Idaho, and as a top fifteen player at his position. He is a smooth defender with fluid hips in transition, triggers quickly to ball carriers in the flats and run support and shows he can tackle in the open field with closing speed and takes good angles to ball carriers. He has natural ball skills in transition and shows he can play both press man coverage or off-zone and is a high IQ player the baits quarterbacks into bad decisions over the middle and on the outside. He is a D-III caliber kid that deserves a shot at the next level.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65b003e7585f3"} /-->
