He's an elite raw athlete who can cover just about every blade of grass on the field. He's lean and lengthy, yet can pack a punch behind his tackles. He takes good angles to the ball and is able to come to balance and make the tackle in the open field. I expect big things from Hogue moving forward and would assume the offers will follow.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1178517"],"_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":"One of the best athletes in the class as a whole, Gibbs has a chance to develop into a special player. He's got a huge frame, long arms, and can jump out of the gym. He's great down the field with 50/50 balls and can high point the ball just about every time. He's able to block on the end of the line and has no issue bending. He's got all the traits of a guy you look for to develop at the next level at the TE position. He's already on the field making big plays and being a focal point for the offense and that should grow over the next 2 years.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1201918"],"_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":"The defensive line product from Laporte is coming off of a fantastic year and should be deemed one of the top DL prospects in the class from here on out. He's #3 for us right now, and for good reason. He's got prototypical size and length with a high motor. He's relentless in his pursuit and almost seems like he takes reps personal. I love guys with high motors and who are willing to do the dirty work without credit, and DelRio is one of those guys. I've quickly become a fan of him and I'm excited to see what he can do as he develops.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1207501"],"_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":"The 6'5u0022 TE product out of Boonville is another great athlete who can do quite a few things on the field. Whether you need an end of the line blocker, someone to chip and go out on a route, or someone to line up out wide as another receiver, Klaner may be your guy. He's strong, thick, and has good balance. He doesn't stumble or trip over himself like some taller dudes who are still getting their feet underneath the can. I'd love to see him become a main point of their offense and let him go to work in the middle of the field, but he's quickly making strides in every area of his game so it's only a matter of time until he blows up.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1178520"],"_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":"Ruxer is a fun prospect to look at because his future is still up in the air as to where he will play. He's listed as an ATH here because of his size, but he's primarily been a WR to this point. He's earned an All-State nod as a WR as well, but with his length and frame you know schools are looking at him wondering if he can play TE. If not, you've got a 6'4u0022 WR who is quick, can win downfield, and knows how to use his frame properly. He may be a small school guy, but he's certainly not someone schools should skip out on.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66103cce5debb"} /-->
