When lining up outside of the numbers, he shows a quick get off and blazing speed to get behind the defense. He has good hands and can make you pay after the catch. Even on punts, it's not a surprise to see him weave in and out of traffic en route to a touchdown. This kid is an all around playmaker that can hurt you any time he gets the ball. I think he could really blow up this fall and turn a ton of heads!rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu0022rn'[rnrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["601038"],"_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":"Kadale is an incredibly athletic playmaker who does most of his damage from the backfield. He's a powerful yet elusive back who can run between the tackles, or bounce outside and turn the corner to break free for big chunk gains. He has an elite mix of contact balance and speed that makes it impossible to defend. I love that he always falls forward for some extra yardage. I think a MAC level team would be thrilled to get him in their program.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["247647"],"_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":"Deshaun is a guy that can just flat out get open. He runs quick and efficient routes, and can get physical with DBs to get possession of jump balls. He can be a deep threat who can stretch the field with his wide catch radius, or he can be a solid and reliable receiver in the short and intermediate passing game, who can get you a ton of extra yardage as well. His quick footwork around the goal line allows him to run precise and quick and precise enough routes to get open on even the tightest coverage. He's already shattering records, and that will absolutely continue in his senior season.rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["603747"],"_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":"I've mentioned Braylen a number of times, but he has emerged as an elite prospect for the next level. When I watched him last season you could see his talent shine in a variety of ways. He's a good all around route runner, from short and quick hitters, to deep balls over top of the defense. It's fun to see him get in space in the screen and dump off game, because the moment he gets the ball in his hands he is trying to take it to the house. Davison lost some production from last seasons, but returns a lot of key pieces and I think that will bode well for Braylen getting a ton of touches, which is only a positive thing for his squad!","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["247684"],"_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":"I think [player_tooltip player_id='247684' first='Eric' last='Slater'] has a bunch of untapped potential that could come pouring out this fall. To start, his 6'3 frame with a 75.5 inch wingspan makes his catch radius huge. To go with it, he has a quick get off, sticky hands that makes him a red zone nightmare, and he does a great job of tracking deep balls. He holds a good amount of smaller D1 schools, but I think with an explosion this fall, he could wind up with a huge list of Power 5 offers.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6606b004144d5"} /-->

We have a plethora of amazing athletes in our state, and we are seeing a huge swing in momentum from recruiting and offseason showcases. These 5 players in the class of 2025 are seeing a big uptick in their stock heading into spring!
