He's been a starter for Oaks Christian since his freshman season and thrives out in space between the hash and sideline where he can use his instincts and athleticism to react quickly in coverage. With his physical tools and coverage skills/instincts, Moreno definitely fits the mold of a high-upside OLB/SS at the next level.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-662feaf9555d2"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/nathanmorenoo/status/1784721581220253798","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/nathanmorenoo/status/1784721581220253798 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["270853"],"_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":"Smith is a player I've been tracking since seeing his film as a starting freshman LB for Great Oak a few seasons ago. He's an extremely physical defender at 6'1u0022/220 that led his team in tackles (104), sacks (4), and TFLs (21) as a sophomore. He showed great technique in the use of his hands and movement in pass-rush drills on Sunday and continues to show improvement in his range in coverage. On film, he's a physical run-stuffer between the tackles that's at his best when attacking the backfield downhill and exploiting gaps as a delayed blitzer. If he can continue to develop his range and fluidity in coverage- and with the upside he offers as a run-stuffer and pass rusher- Smith should continue to ascend SoCal's LB ranks.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-662ff7253beab"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/RyderSmith2026/status/1753637137977921782","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/RyderSmith2026/status/1753637137977921782 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1238360"],"_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":"Vinson offers some of the highest physical upside of any LB at Sunday's showcase with his impressive combination of size (6'3u0022/215), athleticism, and range. He moves well showing good straight-line speed and lateral quickness, and eats up space with his natural length. He's the top returning tackler for El Dorado in the fall after totaling 83 as a junior along with 10 TFLs and a team-leading 4 sacks. Vinson's an intriguing LB prospect to keep an eye on in the fall.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2Mdq7Du0022u003eJunior Highlightsu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-662ff7253bf26"} /-->
