He's had a fantastic summer, but its physical traits and upside excite schools. He's got a good lengthy frame, has muscle in all the right places, and has no issue using his frame to out-muscle DBs to bring in the ball. He has the traits to develop into an X at the next level and the speed, running a 4.49 40-yard dash.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1299252"],"_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-6667a047dec05"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more stout defensive linemen in the northwest region of the state, Lee is turning into a player who can help the interior at the next level. He's got a very thick frame and spends a good amount of time in the weight room. He's got strong hands and does a good job using his leverage. Lee knows how to play the run and cut off gaps, which is paramount for an interior lineman.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["620373"],"_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-6667a047dec51"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The light has begun to click for Pleasant and he's got the potential to be a good one. He's got a decent frame that can withstand the impact in the trenches. He's got good closing speed and isn't afraid to initiate contact. He had a game this past year where he put up 13 tackles and 1 sack and was all over the field. He's got incredible range for an LB and should pick up quite a bit of traction here soon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

We're hitting the northwest corner a little bit today with 3 perennial recruits from the area! These 3 have a ton of talent and have started to pick up some traction, but could explode this fall.
