Possesses a smooth and compact over the top release that allows him to get the ball out quick and on time. Shows he can hit his spots to all areas of the field throwing with good touch, trajectory, and accuracy. Does a good job mixing up velocities, can drive off his back foot to throw a one ball into a tight window or layer the ball over second level defenders. Throws well from a well-balanced platform in the pocket but flashes good body control to be accurate throwing off platform or on the run. Made the largest jump of any other prospect in the recent PRZ state rankings. Recently pulled in his first offer from Nevada and will see his recruitment on the rise as the cycle progresses.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65c36b8375cc4"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/natedonavan7/status/1728991974798262611","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/natedonavan7/status/1728991974798262611 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["726147"],"_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":"Flugstad is coming off a breakout sophomore year that saw him voted Offensive lineman of the year in 3A NPSL and 2u003csupu003endu003c/supu003e team PRZ All NW Underclassmen. At 6'1” 250 lbs. he's a mauler that is violent and aggressive at the POA on both sides of the ball at Beamer. Plays with leverage and explodes through contact to drive opponents out of the play. Shows good natural movement skills in combination with his initial quickness out of his stance to gain positional leverage. Strong foundational skillset to build on that could transition well to either side of the line at the college level.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["726148"],"_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":"Tellez is a dynamic athlete and explosive playmaker on both sides of the ball. 5'9” 165 lbs. with the long speed to cover all three levels. Plus short area quickness and change of direction to match movement and transition out of his backpedal. Impressed by his burst/acceleration to close space and break on the ball. Natural ball skills, he attacks the ball in the air and times out his jump well to compete at the high point. A weapon at receiver where he can stretch the field vertically or take short passes to the end zone making quick lateral cuts around defenders but projects as a DB right now. Voted league Defensive Back of the Year and 1u003csupu003estu003c/supu003e Team PRZ All NW Underclassmen. Initially offered by Nevada during his freshman year and recently added Arizona to his list.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":2,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65c36b8375db1"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/zamarie_1/status/1705658348740518016","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/zamarie_1/status/1705658348740518016 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["726174"],"_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":"Nabors is a strong cover corner that has a wide skillset to be an impact player in all three phases. 5'10” 150 lbs. with good natural coverage instincts and anticipation. Recognizes routes and has the speed to stay in phase throughout the play. Love his ability to drive the hip and run the route with the receiver to put himself in position to play the ball. Plus ball skills, tracks it well and can make acrobatic plays at the catch point. Reliable one on one open field tackler. He initiates contact and can line up a ball carrier while wrapping up to the ground. Flying under the radar as a recruit but should see his stock on the rise as he's able to showcase his ability.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65c36b8375e10"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/israelnabors/status/1745171802324901996","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/israelnabors/status/1745171802324901996 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["899871"],"_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":"Versatile DL prospect that can play both interior and on the edge. At 5'11” 225 lbs. he's got a strong build that will continue to add weight and strength as he develops. Shows good mobility and athleticism to redirect and chase in the short area. He's quick off the ball and has active hands early to prevent blockers from getting into his body. Does a good job stacking and neutralizing blockers to hold his gap. High effort player that finishes the play and is an aggressive tackler at the contact point. Finished the 2023 season with 45 total tackles, five sacks, and three TFL. Looking forward, he projects as a DT if he can keep adding weight/strength and maintain his athleticism.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65c36b8375e63"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Mathaias__/status/1754316665490468937","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/Mathaias__/status/1754316665490468937 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
