Rice possesses 'home run' speed from the running back position; he has the ability to break for a big run that can go the distance at any time. His ability to run routes out of the backfield only added to his game last year, solidifying him as one of the top running backs for the upcoming year.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1117894"],"_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='1117894' first='John' last='McAuliffe'] is a Swiss Army knife for Marsit High School; his coaches do a good job of utilizing his ability to get him the ball. He is a one-cut back who hits the hole at full speed once he sees daylight. His top-end speed is evident not only on his long runs from the running back position but also as a returner. McAuliffe has big-play ability on special teams as a punt returner. He accounted for 1,650 all-purpose yards and 25 touchdowns during the 2023 season.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Martin Cohen","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_weight":"165","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Antioch High School","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":" ","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Martin Cohen is a rangy athlete at the running back position.
