[player_tooltip player_id='1148057' first='Chris' last='Laborde'] is a 5'10 190 pound Running Back, Linebacker, and Defensive End. The first thing you notice about Laborde is his physicality at each position he plays. His ability to get off multiple blocks and track down the ball carrier is elite. Labordes ability to get to the ball carrier and break down on shifty receivers and make the tackle stood out to me as well. At running back he is a downhill get out of my way or get run over type of back. Overall great vision at running back and can make moves on defenders. Not the fastest but makes up for it with great vision and physicality. Easy to see why he was the defensive MVP of the AYFL Super Bowl. I couldn't find anything on what high school he will attend next year but Laborde is a prospect to keep an eye on as he starts high school in the fall. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1148059"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eThe next prospect on this list is another all around athlete that can make plays on both sides of the ball. [player_tooltip player_id='1148059' first='Kamden' last='Gilles'] is a DB/WR from The Benjamin School in Palm Beach Gardens. Gilles has the speed and quickness to out run and make defenders miss every time he has the ball in his hands. What he doesn't have in size he makes up for with his athletic ability. Although he's not the biggest he's still able to break tackles from multiple defenders in many clips I've watched. His ability to out jump taller defenders and make plays on the ball at its highest point really impressed me. The ability he has to track the ball in the air is elite for his age. On the defensive side of the ball, Gilles is a lockdown corner in coverage but can also come up and make a big play on a ball carrier. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1148062"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eUp next we have a fast and strong linebacker from Tru Prep Academy in Miami Gardens. [player_tooltip player_id='1148062' first='Ryan' last='McPhun Jr.'] is the only player on this list to play against varsity competition so far. The 5'11 180 pound backer gets it done on and off the field having a 3.7 GPA. Playing varsity competition in the state of Florida as an 8th grader is impressive but he plays as if he's been doing it for years. The 8th grader in 6 games had 51 Tackles, 2 TFL, and 1 Sack. Mcphun Jr. has the speed and quickness to chase down the ball carrier and get off blocks. He has good size right now for his age and will only add on to the strength he already has. The physicality, ability to change directions and make textbook-formed tackles is exactly what you need at this position to be elite and Mcphun Jr. does all of these things extremely well. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["970037"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eThe Biggest player on this list is [player_tooltip player_id='970037' first='Robert' last='Outler III'] out of Fort Lauderdale. The 6'4 174 pound Defensive End with a 3.4 GPA already has the size needed as he enters into highschool this fall. Outler is extremely quick off the ball and moves well for his size being able to track down the ball carrier. He's not hard to find when turning on the tape, he's the biggest player on the field every time and backs it up being very dominant and giving the QB pressure and difficulty seeing receivers. His quickness at the snap of the ball is elite for his age and he will only get better as he continues to put on weight and get into a high school weight program. Outler's size and quickness puts fear in opposing teams and quarterbacks. Going to be a player to keep an eye on as he plans to attend Archbishop McCarthy this fall.    u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1148064"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eThe final prospect on this list is [player_tooltip player_id='1148064' first='Lorenzo' last='Bowers'], a 6'0 145 pound receiver from West Palm Beach. Bowers has good size for his position and impressed me with his route running ability from what I've seen in clips. Very ahead of the game as far as fundamentals go for a young receiver. Bowers ability to change direction stood out to me as well and being able to make moves on defenders in short pass situations. He has length over most defenders and is able to get the ball at its highest point extremely well. Overall definitely a prospect to keep an eye on in years to come. Could turn into a big threat for defenses all over South Florida u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a1bcb417542"} /-->
