He's got a nice compact build that has spent time in the weight room. He's nimble and moves well for his size. He's able to snap the ball consistently and come downhill without an issue after snapping it. He's also proven to be fairly reliable in straight-up pass-rushing downs. Hensley is right on track to becoming an impact player and someone schools take notice of.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1197660"],"_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-667d72259845b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Egan has been a fairly reliable and consistent piece for Cathedral upfront since he first stepped onto the field. He's a gritty lineman who is willing to do the dirty work for none of the credit. He's someone who can flip that switch when he gets out there and the ball is snapped. He's very aggressive in the running game and likes to bury the guy across from him. He's kept the QB upright and continued to improve week after week. Egan is going to make some school a very happy program when the time comes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1157649"],"_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-667d72259849f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bursting onto the scene and helping clear the way upfront is Gearhart. He's a big-bodied lineman who moves fairly well. He's not stiff and can bend without an issue. He's off the line fairly quickly and does a good job keeping his hands inside. The confidence began to burst through this past season and later in the year he was leading the line up front and taking charge. Heading into his upperclassman seasons, Gearhart has set himself up nicely to take advantage of his situation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1314605"],"_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-667d7225984df"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Developing into a mainstay for Bosse upfront is Burns. While he has primarily played on the outside for them blocking the edge, I think his future is on the interior of the line. While he doesn't have great length for the outside, his length for the interior is fine, but also his core is so strong that it helps him in those midway battles. I could see him developing into a fantastic guard because of his experience on the outside combined with his interior traits.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1314610"],"_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-667d72259851e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miller was a big part of what Decatur Central was able to do last year and why they went on that run. The offensive line was cohesive all year long and having reliable players upfront helped solidify that. Miller's confidence throughout the year grew and by the time they got to State, he was a different player from the start of the year. In areas where he may have hesitated before or lost a block, he made the changes needed and began to win upfront which gave the offense some life.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
