St Martin 2024 Early Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The St Martin football squad had a tough 2023 season. I think 2024 will be a year of redemption for them, and they will get things turned around in the right direction. To do that, they will need to get some extra production out of these five players that I have had my eye on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["653168"],"_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":"Estrada is 6'1″ tall and 200 lbs. Estrada plays with good eye discipline making it difficult for the opposing offense to confuse him. He has good speed and finds way to fill the gaps in the line of scrimmage. He is strong which makes it difficult for a ball carrier to break his tackle. He will play a major role in helping St Martin get their program going in 2024. In 2023, he finished with 50 total tackles, 1 sack and 1 interception.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17619077/636aef9019a53f0f947f28d5u0022u003eNoel Estradau003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Caleb Estrada","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_weight":"243","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"St Martin","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Estrada is 6'1″ tall and 245 lbs.

He is quick off the ball with strong hands. In 2023, Caleb finished with 25 tackles.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17900636/654845c2c119a009b8a666fdu0022u003eCaleb Estradau003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='648943' first='Monclair' last='Brave']","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_weight":"175","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"St Martin","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Brave is 6'0u0022 tall and 175 lbs. The St Martin offense has a strong receiver on the outside and he goes by the name of [player_tooltip player_id='648943' first='Monclair' last='Brave']. Brave typically lines up on the outside but also has the ability to play a slot position. He has strong hands and runs very clean routes which make him a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses. In 2023, he had 39 receptions for 438 yards and two touchdowns.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17522099/65a7f05190f904101c02c99cu0022u003e[player_tooltip player_id='648943' first='Monclair' last='Brave']u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Romane Grant","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_weight":"191","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"St Martin","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Grant is 6'3u0022 tall and 220 lbs.

With Grant and both Estrada brothers anchoring the St Martin defensive in 2024 the Yellow Jackets will have a stout front seven.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17620821/659f799417626a0a1c6c8b1du0022u003eRomane Grantu003c/au003ernrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1240016' first='Jayden' last='Curtis']","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_weight":"230","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"St Martin","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Curtis is 6'3u0022 tall and 230 lbs. Curtis is a kid that I believe has a very ceiling. He is plays an aggressive style of defensive end. He has a quick first step and has great inside move. He has long arms which makes it difficult for the quarterback to have a clear path throwing the football. I look for Curtis to be defensive household name for coaches after his 2024 season. In 2023, he had 35 tackles and one tackle for loss.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18539580/65bbb17f5797be0894afcf9du0022u003e[player_tooltip player_id='1240016' first='Jayden' last='Curtis']u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660db7a923ed3"} /-->
