He's a well-balanced, physical ball handler that can fight through contact around the LOS and use his vision to find lanes to produce explosive gains. He's a smooth athlete out in space showing skill and finesse as a pass catcher from multiple alignments. Jackson, who totaled 7 TDs last season, should be a focal point for Liberty's offense in the fall.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6639ff5f0da46"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/skylerjackson06/status/1785893837509906561","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/skylerjackson06/status/1785893837509906561 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["820625"],"_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":"Craig's stock has continued to rise since picking up his first offer from Air Force in March with Washington St. and Oregon St. offering at the start of May. PRZ NV's #3-ranked DB in the state is a long, rangy defender with highly sought-after versatility in the secondary. He has ideal frame at 6'3”/185, can tackle in space, and lineup in man coverage over the slot or perimeter. Look for Craig to remain busy and continue generating D-I offers/interest as the offseason progresses.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6639ff5f0daf2"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Sean_Craig01/status/1786605832634867760","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/Sean_Craig01/status/1786605832634867760 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1323325' first='Brayton' last='Correa'] ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025 ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"180","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2495","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Bishop Gorman","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Correa picked up his first offer from Hawaii in April. The 6'/180 DB out of Bishop Gorman played some S as a junior showing range and physicality as a tackler and savvy skill in coverage. He's a fluid mover in coverage that shows instinctive feel for spacing and body positioning when matching with receivers. He flies around to the football with great effort and was a contributor on special teams a season ago. Correa's recent offer could kickstart more Mountain West interest for the junior DB.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6639ff5f0db94"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BraytonCorrea/status/1781135948551696618","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/BraytonCorrea/status/1781135948551696618 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["402171"],"_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":"McClendon has stayed busy this offseason showing his natural skill and athleticism at camps/7v7s and picked up his first offer from UNLV along the way. He's a fast and physical tackler from the S spot that attacks the ball aggressively downhill with closing speed and efficient angles of attack. He's shown more of his coverage skillset and ability to matchup 1v1 in his offseason work.

The 6'2”/230 junior showed promising traits and physicality as a run-blocker after making the switch from LB to TE last season. He's a bulldozer as a lead blocker that can use his athleticism to stay in front of defenders out in space and packs power and leverage into his blocks at the POA. Yamauchi's role figures to expand with the graduation of one of the top TEs in the country last season- Elijah Lofton (Miami).","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6639ff5f0dc3c"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/YamauchiEli/status/1785529209575932184","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/YamauchiEli/status/1785529209575932184 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
