Don't be surprised when the underrated defender sees his recruitment skyrocket this fall. Good strength and speed shows defeating bigger blockers and making plays outside of his vicinity. Gabe's athleticism shows changing direction and accelerating to make tackles when ball carriers have space to work with. Gabe's football IQ, powerful punch, and flashes of next level range highlights his potential to be a versatile run defender in college.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1127279"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1127279' first='Preston' last='Brashear'] is a talented two-sport athlete out of Independence. I was unable to locate Preston on social media, but I am confident he will be one of the fastest rising Missouri iOL prospects this fall. Preston's power, quickness, and flexibility shows exploding through defenders as a lead blocker at the point of attack. Good balance and upper-body strength shows sustaining blocks in both phases. Preston's combination of size, strength, and physicality suggests he has all the abilities to be a versatile run blocker in college.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1224398' first='Brandon' last='Taylor Jr.']","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'6u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_weight":"265","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"North Kansas City ","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1224398' first='Brandon' last='Taylor Jr.'] is one of the most underrated OT prospects in Kansas City. He has been invited to junior days at both North u0026amp; South Dakota State, so be on the lookout for his first offer to come in soon. Next level power and leg drive shows easily removing defenders from the point of attack. Good instincts, flexibility, and power consistently shows finishing defenders at the second level. Brandon's length, lateral quickness, and strong anchor suggests he has all the pass protection tools to thrive on an island in college.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["328110"],"_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='328110' first='Donovan' last='Fitzmaurice'] is a dominant interior defender out of Ballwin. Donovan has three scholarships already and I am excited to see who else offers the talented defensive lineman this spring. Donovan's great mix of size, power, and instincts shows right away disrupting interior runs as Marquette's nose guard. Donovan's strength and next level athleticism allows him to beat pass blockers with both speed and power. Good quickness, strong hands, and a smooth change of direction highlights Donovan's potential to be a quality interior pass rusher at the next level.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":[278903],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1118576' first='Dayne' last='Schellenger'] has some of the best potential out of any OL in St. Louis. Dayne holds four offers and after a busy winter of traveling to college campuses I would expect more to come in this spring. Dayne's rare combination of length, power, and quickness shows right away knocking out linebackers with one punch in the open field. Good sustain ability shows latching on and driving defenders from the point of attack that are aligned outside of his vicinity. Good balance and quick feet allow Dayne to easily redirect and cutoff linebackers at the second level. Dayne's size, physicality, and athletic ability suggests he has all the tools to develop into a reliable pass blocker in college.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65da768a4e5cc"} /-->
