It's impressive watching him because despite his size, he moves extremely fluidly. Smith can run some really sharp routes, outrun defenders, and make tons of big plays downfield with extreme ease. His speed and acceleration paired with his very consistent hands make him a threat at all times to opposing defenses. It really impressed me watching how he catches the ball, he does a great job utilizing his catch radius and size to take the ball away from defenders, and never seems to have a hard time hauling them in. Recently Smith picked up an offer from Liberty, and with how well he performed last season, expect him to continue adding offers to that list!","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1192785"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1192785' first='Aden' last='Jackson'] is an offensive tackle prospect out of Dothan that has already been a huge factor of their offense, and has a ton of potential and room to grow into an even better player. Jackson is a force down in the trenches- he has a terrific burst off the line of scrimmage, lots of power, and can move men off the line within a moments notice. Combining that with his agility and ability to move around the field to set blocks and you have yourself a really talented offensive lineman. Jackson has all these traits and more, he's already demonstrated a ton of talents in both run blocking and pass protection. Jackson has already picked up a good bit of attention from the next level- he lists offers from Colorado State, Appalachian State, and more! Keep an eye on him going forward, he's got a ton of potential as a prospect and is currently one of the top guys at his position in the state.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1026142"],"_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='1026142' first='Noah' last='Holt'] is a really impressive tight end out of Elkmont that can do a lot of different things really well at his position. Holt is a really athletic guy that can make a lot happen- at tight end he is a really solid blocker and receiving option that makes a lot of clutch plays for his offense. Holt is a bigger guy at 6'1 190 and uses every bit of his size to overpower and make catches on top of defensive backs. He has a strong set of hands and can get high up for out of place/high up passes away from the defense, it's impressive watching how he takes the ball out of the sky. Last fall Holt had himself a really productive season at the position- he provided a consistent target for his quarterback all year with his 35 receptions for 581 yards and 6 touchdowns. Keep an eye on him going forward this season, Holt is a heck of a tight end that is one of the best in the states 2026 class.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1085167"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1085167' first='Spencer' last='Unruh'] was a fantastic rushing weapon out of Corner's backfield last season, the sophomore back made a ton of key plays all year long and has a whole lot in the tank for his upcoming junior year. Unruh has some phenomenal field vision- he knows exactly what route he needs to take to gain maximum yardage on each carry, and has the athleticism to efficiently do so. Unruh is a heck of a runner, he has a great ability at making defenders miss and just barely slips out of tackles on a routine basis. Last fall, Unruh did a lot on just a few carries- he ended the season carrying the ball 87 times for 598 yards and 9 touchdowns with an additional 4 catches for 95 yards in the air as well. With how well he played last season, expect to see Unruh have a bigger role within their offense next season- he deserves it!","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6604f8e3721be"} /-->
