His consistent display of breakaway speed and contact balance sets him apart, whether in the pass or run game. He possesses the versatility to rush both inside and outside and the power to break through initial contact. Edwards' style is that of a slasher, characterized by his nimble feet and impressive change-of-direction ability. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17658768/657877478cd42206cc126eeb">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17658768/657877478cd42206cc126eeb</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["953070"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-665625775a94a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Morris, a fluid and quick RB from Honey Grove, is a force to be reckoned with at 5'11 170 lbs. His balance and agility allow him to make explosive plays in the run game, but it's his resilience that truly sets him apart. He runs with great pad level, showing the strength and aggressiveness to finish runs and dish out contact. His ability to rarely go down on first contact and his vision and speed to go the distance is a testament to his athleticism and playmaking ability. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/18083221/632a671a478e3909b050de14">http://www.hudl.com/video/3/18083221/632a671a478e3909b050de14</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["284157"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-665625775a988"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Groce, a tall and athletic RB from Frisco, is a versatile player. At 6'2” and 190 lbs, he has the size and strength to be a consistent impact player. His exceptional vision and power, along with his one-cut ability to get upfield and create explosive plays, make him a formidable player. His patience in setting up his blocks, strong hands, and ability to play WR showcase his adaptability and potential to contribute in various positions. <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17872851/657be57719a6d90a7c8e9d7d">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17872851/657be57719a6d90a7c8e9d7d</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
