His height, size, and route running ability stand out on film. He has very good release off the ball against Press, Soft, and Off coverages, utilizing different techniques and very good lateral movement to keep the DBs guessing. He displays a full route tree on short, medium, and deep passing routes with good change of direction at the top of his routes to create separation. He has very good hands with very good adjust to throws and good strength to fight through contact and secure catches in traffic. He is elusive after the catch to create extra yards. Be sure to have Isiah as a player to watch over the next two seasons.rnrnu003cemu003eu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/profile/18650437/Isiah-Douganu0022u003eHudlu003c/au003e / u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/IsiahDouganu0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003eu003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1217050"],"_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":"Tyler is a relentless defensive end for Patriot. He can align in a 4-point, 3-point, or 2-point stance. Shows good hand quickness and explosiveness when engaging offensive tackles that will jolt those who are not prepared to take him on. When engaged on blocks, he keeps his feet driving and has developed a good rip and spin move to shed blocks. He also displays good play strength to anchor himself and set edge contain. He wins with speed on his pass rush on the edge and can turn that into power to drive toward the QB to apply pressure. Be sure to keep an eye on Tyler this fall when watching Patriot.rnrnu003cemu003eu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/profile/19507376/Tyler-Johnsonu0022u003eHudlu003c/au003e / u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/johnsontj2026u0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003eu003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1205826"],"_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":"Brayson has solid height and good size for an Offensive Tackle. He is a good Gap blocker with good explosiveness in Base and Down blocks that drive defensive linemen out of the gap. He displays solid lateral movement and can be utilized as a Pull blocker as he can get to and sustain the block clearing a path for the ball carrier. After he finishes his initial block, he looks for the next defender to block creating paths downfield for the ball carrier. Shows the ability to anchor himself in pass protection against a bull rush and keep his quarterback clean.rnrnu003cemu003eu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/profile/17907855/Brayson-Bristowu0022u003eHudlu003c/au003e / u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/BraysonBristow?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthoru0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003eu003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1216902"],"_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":"Chase has good size and strength for offensive line and plays Guard and Tackle for his varsity team and looks to become a key piece on Clover Hill's offensive line the next two seasons. His size and strength make it difficult for defenders to get past him with his ability to anchor himself in his blocking. He is working this off season to develop his speed and agility which will help take his game to the next level. Be sure to keep Chase on your radar as he continues to develop over the next two seasons.rnrnu003cemu003eu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/profile/16435157/Chase-Nelsonu0022u003eHudlu003c/au003e / u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/chhaasseeeu0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003eu003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1215912"],"_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":"Yariel has limited film available, but he shows good speed on the field and has the potential to be a weapon for Blue Ridge's offense.
