At 6'2” 190 lbs. he's a gifted passer with a smooth over the top delivery that is quick and compact. Flashes high-level footwork and mechanics in the pocket. He's balanced and fluid in his drop back but also has a great ability to be accurate from off platform throws without sacrificing velocity. Shows great touch and trajectory with the ability to hit his spots at all three levels and layer the ball over secondary defenders. Like his ability to process information quickly while anticipating his throws to be on time and throw his receivers open. Great command of the offense and has a calm demeanor in the pocket. Right now, he stands as the top 2027 QB in the state after throwing for almost 2,300 yards and 18 touchdowns while completing 69% of his passes as a freshman. No offers yet but he's a major D1 prospect that will see national recruiting attention.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65fce2ed41411"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Sione_k10/status/1727370764582846960","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Sione_k10/status/1727370764582846960 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1188108"],"_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":"A lot to like about Paulino's skillset as a dual-threat QB. Not the biggest QB at 5'9” 150 lbs. but he's got time to grow and makes up for it with his athletic ability. Throws a good catchable ball with touch, like his ability to throw the deep ball with accuracy. Does a good job putting the ball in a spot that only his receiver can get to while hitting them in stride allowing them to run after the catch. Plus pocket mobility to feel and escape pressure. Uses his athleticism well to extend the play while keeping his eyes downfield for an open target. Also shows he can stand in the pocket and deliver with a defender in his face. Dangerous running threat when he tucks it, he's elusive and can make defenders miss in the open field. He's a competitor that has a good foundational skillset to build on as he develops.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65fce2ed41481"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BraydenPaulino/status/1723170637680959702","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BraydenPaulino/status/1723170637680959702 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1188104"],"_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":"High ceiling RB prospect with explosive playmaking ability as a ball carrier. At 5'9” 180 lbs. he's got a strong compact frame with a good combination of power and speed. He's quick to get downhill pressing the LOS early and attacking open running lanes. Really good all-around game speed with an accelerated and sustained burst to run away from defenders once in space. He's got good balance showing the ability to break first contact at the line and run through second level tacklers. Colleges will like his ability to pick up tough yardage between the tackles or use his speed to turn the corner on the perimeter. To date he's the top 2027 RB in the state that will see his recruiting stock on the rise as he's able to showcase his skillset.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65fce2ed414e3"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/RoyceMiller__/status/1719167506177556763","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/RoyceMiller__/status/1719167506177556763 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1188121"],"_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":"Seniours is a natural football player that can be a game changer on both sides of the ball. At 5'7” 150 lbs. he's a quick and explosive back with plus short area burst. He's got great field vision and patience to allow the play to develop and clear a lane. He's savvy and instinctive with the ball reading his blocks well and showing good awareness of where defenders are. In the open field, he makes quick lateral cuts and uses his start/stop speed to break away. Made the most of his carries as a freshman toting it 40 times for 350 yards and seven touchdowns adding 100 yards receiving and two more touchdowns. One to watch as he develops.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65fce2ed41560"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Shiron_29/status/1724314696759869920","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Shiron_29/status/1724314696759869920 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other RB's and QB's to watch:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1188132' first='Leo' last='Harnetiaux'], QB, Seattle Prep</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='868722' first='Lukas' last='Lalji'], QB, Yelm</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1001320' first='Armani' last='Tonga'], QB, Union</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1188138' first='Davonne' last='Granville'], QB, Skyview</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='635258' first='Thor' last='Brody'], RB, Camas</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1188098' first='Colt' last='Kelley'], RB, Asotin</h2> <!-- /wp:heading -->
