Hyde is solid in coverage, but when he has his eyes in the backfield he plays some of his best ball because he tracks the ball well, makes plays, and high points the football but often he will use his ability to read the quarterback to adjust his coverage and put himself in a position to play the ball. Hyde still needs to develop as an athlete getting stronger and faster but shows some really positive instincts on tape.rnrnCheck out Hyde's u003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/profile/15277388/Brayden-Hydeu0022u003eHUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1150057"],"_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":"Writzfeld is a talented dual-threat lefty for Oak Park High School. Wirtzfeld has good arm talent that he shows a lot of control over. His ability to change velocity and adjust the flight of the ball is one of his best traits. Even on throws that require some touch and air under the ball his throws still maintain some zip and get to the target quickly. Wirtzfeld shows good pocket presence and poses under pressure not being phased when he has to reset and make a throw. Writzfeld is not a run-first type of quarterback but he moves well and can be dangerous extending plays outside of the pocket and finding open space and lanes to get down field.rnrnCheck out Writzfeld's u003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/profile/13239753/Ryan-Wirtzfeldu0022u003eHUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["892384"],"_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":"Prettie, a guard prospect out of Oak Park High School has good size at 6'1 290lbs. He wears the weight well and has a lot of strength in his upper body. Prettie showcases solid use of hands with a strong initial punch and does a good job of staying inside the shoulders of defenders. Prettie has good athleticism and movement skills, you see a lot of him being able to get to the second level with quick feet and adjust his body in space to maintain leverage on defenders. You do not see a lot of pass pro reps from Prettie but in the few that we see his quick feet help him stay square to pass rushers and he showcases good hand usage at the point of contact.rnrnCheck out Prettie's u003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/profile/16888299/Jack-Prettieu0022u003eHUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1159718"],"_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":"Odunuga is a wide receiver prospect from Dakota Collegiate. Odunuga may be one of the most dangerous deep threats in the entire country. His ability to track the ball down the field and make difficult catches over the shoulder staying in stride or dealing with a defensive back on his back or in his face is impressive. Odunuga may not be the fastest prospect, but his efficient movements of the line of scrimmage and quick changes in speed and short area burst all help him create separation. While a majority of what we see from Odunuga is vertical routes he does show reps displaying short-area quickness and twitch that showcase his ability to create separation in the short area of the field. Odunuga, although not the biggest is a physical blocker. He blocks with good technique and is consistent in his effort when blocking.rnrnCheck out Odunuga's u003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/profile/16723634/Mikun-Odunugau0022u003eHUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["892379"],"_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":"Okedara has a good frame at the defensive end position and the Dakota Collegiate playmaker packs a physical punch at the point of attack. Okedara shows good bend around the edge and displays his best reps when rushing the passer. At times, Okedara shows really good use of hands utilizing his reach and if he can build more consistency with his hand usage his overall play will improve. Okedara will occasionally get caught inside especially when trying to use his power or upper body to push an offensive lineman backward, but his motor and snap-to-whistle style of play help him defeat even when he loses leverage or with his hands. Okedara flashes some really attractive pass-rushing traits, the development of his athleticism and use of hands will be something I really will watch next season for Okedara.rnrnCheck out Okedara's u003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/profile/17555777/Destiny-Okedarau0022u003eHUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65ff1ce2ecbb7"} /-->
