He plays on both sides of the ball but does most of his damage from the defensive tackle spot, and is a twitchy and physical striker that is still raw, but has tons of growth potential as he continues to move through his career. He is a high motor kid that can collapse the pocket quickly, covers ground well in space when tracking down ball carriers backside and has a quick redirect against play action. Williams is very twitchy off the ball, knows how to eat up double teams and defeat reach blocks with a violent lock out and quick disengage, and is a very balanced inside guy with plus length. He is a no brainer next level guy that is very intriguing because of his length and inside play potential/overall athleticism.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6622a44e84971"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["740806"],"_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":"Benson is an explosive slot receiver that can shift into the backfield as well as stretch the field vertically and is a natural runner with forward lean, leg drive and a nice initial burst through the first level. He can make defenders miss in tight windows, and shows he is not afraid to lower his shoulder into linebackers/defensive backs when needed when he is coming from the backfield. Downfield, he does a nice job at settling in zone coverage, has strong hands when working across the middle, and flashes highpoint abilities in traffic while able to win on 50/50 ball situations as well. He is a D3 prospect that should see his stock continue to rise a bit throughout the season, and is a name to note as far as receivers go across Idaho.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6622a44e848e7"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1136921"],"_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":"The Eagle rising Senior should fit nicely at the IOL position at the next level, and is a true downhill road grader that excels at blocking in the box and wins with power, punch and a low hat at the POA. He has a powerful first step and can sustain blocks downfield, while showing heavy hands and an inside punch with the ability to finish downfield consistently. He plays with violent intentions, and is a high IQ kid in pass protection that plays low to the ground and can blow defenders off the ball with ease. In pass protection, he has patient hands, a strong and wide base and active feet against bull rushers while staying patient up front against stunts and is able to anchor as well. He should draw plenty of interest from the D3 level and is one of the better IOL across the state in this '25 class.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6622a44e8492d"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401587"],"_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":"Hudson is a big time target in the middle of the field, and is a physical pass catcher that relies on his strength and power at the POA, while excelling at making contested catches in the teeth of the defense. He is a bruising runner after the catch that can stick his toe in the ground and get vertical in a hurry, while showing that he can run through arm/ankle tackles in space with some wiggle for someone his size. Also a very good blocker, he has a strong punch and can sustain blocks downfield in the run game, while also showing he can block out on the perimeter. He is only a rising Junior, and should have a good start to his Junior season as he has plenty of Varsity experience.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6622a44e8488c"} /-->
