At 6'4 300, Pritchett is a massive human being that has a ton of agility despite his size. It's really impressive watching how Pritchett maneuvers around the field- he can pull across the line and work his way to different levels to make some crucial blocks in the run game. In pass protection, Pritchett makes himself an unmovable anchor. He does a great job anticipating opposing pass rushers' moves and has the athleticism to keep them at bay and provide a clean pocket for his quarterback. Over the last few months, Pritchett has seen his recruitment open up in some big ways- he's picked up offers from some top-tier programs like Tennessee, Auburn, Louisville, and more over the last few weeks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1192785"],"_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-667cc59031696"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1192785' first='Aden' last='Jackson']</strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/aden-jackson-2/"></a> is an offensive tackle prospect out of Dothan that has developed into a key piece of their offensive success. Jackson is a force down in the trenches- at 6'4 290 he explodes off the line of scrimmage, has a ton of power, and can move men off the line with extreme ease. Combine that with his agility and ability to move from level to level to set up some impact blocks and you have yourself a really well-rounded offensive lineman. It's impressive watching Jackson play, he's already demonstrated a wide variety of talents in both run blocking and pass protection that allow him to win matchups against some incredibly talented defensive linemen. Over the last few months, Jackson has seen his recruitment open up more- he's picked up offers from Colorado State, Appalachian State, and more! Keep an eye on him going forward, Jackson already has put some great tape together in his first two years, and has plenty more in the tank to show off this fall! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401104"],"_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-667cc590316ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='401104' first='Jackson' last='Hughes'] </strong>is a really talented offensive lineman out of Thompson that has quickly become a key piece of their offense, especially in the run game. Hughes is a dominant run blocker that really gets involved- he is a physical player that plays with a mean streak and consistently drives opposing defenders into the dirt. It's really impressive seeing how Hughes can create wide open lanes for the ball carrier, he does a great job with double teams and in isolated situations, frequently moving defenders against their will. Hughes has a lot of potential as a lineman as he has some very impressive raw skills with his strength, power, and bend. When you pair those with his build at 6'4 290, it makes him a really difficult player to beat in the trenches. Keep an eye on him going into this next season, his junior season will be a big year and Thompson is going to benefit from his play! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
