Standing at 6'4, Palicki is a sizable quarterback with significant arm strength. He faces no issues pushing the ball downfield to his playmakers. Not only is he a prolific passer, but he can also challenge a defense with his legs. Palicki will be a perfect fit into Winona State's offense as a true dual-threat quarterback.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Raymone Saffold","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_weight":"210","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"St.Rita","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Racking up 14 sacks and 90 tackles as a senior, Raymone Saffold is a steal for Bemidji State in this year's signing class. Every college is looking for a pass rusher in their recruiting class, and the Beavers found their man in Saffold. He is a fast-twitch edge player who excels at getting to the quarterback. As he continues to develop in college, he has all the makings to be an elite edge player in the NSIC","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["898676"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='898676' first='Matt' last='Marusich'] was an absolute stud as a senior for Barrington in 2023. He got it done on both sides of the ball as a big-time playmaker, helping lead the Broncos to a historic season. Marusich signed his letter of intent to play for Minnesota Duluth, slotted to play defensive back next year for the Bulldogs. Expect a lot of big plays out of Marusich, as he was able to rack up 4 interceptions on the defensive side of the ball last season. I don't expect it will take him long to make a big impact in college next year.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["271682"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='271682' first='Alexander' last='Poholik'] committed early to Minnesota State as a senior, and it looks to be a perfect fit. He's the exact lineman they look for every year in their recruiting classes. He is a road-grader in the run game, always looking to finish defenders to the ground. He also excels in gap schemes with the ability to pull and get up to the next level. Poholik will project as an inside lineman at the next level and should have a nice career in college","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65c43dd043bac"} /-->
