[player_tooltip player_id='1192650' first='Matthew' last='Ott'] had a great season playing cornerback for the Elkhorn freshman team and even showed he can impact the return game. Matt does a great job in coverage, where he looks disciplined and instinctive. He can read the QB very well and is quick to break on the ball once he sees it int he air. Good use of hands to deflect passes. Very physical and tough— Matt has no issue taking on perimeter blocks to step up and defend the run.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65decbcb6375a"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19793847/6537ddfb9676880a1064b300' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65decbcb63821"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1086065"],"_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":"Max was a very interesting player to watch during this round of film-watching. He is a versatile player who goes 100% wherever you put him. Max primarily plays safety but also had plays where he was up near the line of scrimmage. In those plays, Van Horn showed some serious speed off the edge and was able to disrupt the play in the backfield. Max does project best as safety, displaying nice range and closing speed combined with quick instincts. He's a very willing tackler who won't hesitate to square up on the ball carrier.
