<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today we will be looking at some LB's/RB's that were able to ball out this past season and raise their stock. These are some of the players that you will need to continue to know as they have a big senior season loading!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["744157"],"_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-666b994b88b6b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Meisner is a stock riser who has been receiving some D2 attention and will have some heads turning his way this season. He lead the state in rushing yards and had an eye catching 29 rushing touchdowns. He is a physical runner that is able to make the first defender miss and picks up chunk yardage. He will be a back to know this season to see if he is able to duplicate his success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["748978"],"_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-666b994b88bce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hochhalter is a stock rising backer that has good hands and can drop into coverage and grab a pick. He has good vision being able to read and react quickly, coming up and making a play near the line of scrimmage. In film he is able to not get caught up in the wash and attack downhill, being good at the point of attack and not giving up ground.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["404982"],"_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-666b994b88c11"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Swift is a stock riser that has been active hitting camps and making some noise this summer. Vista has a new staff so it will be interesting to see how he will be used in the new system. He is a backer that is good at stripping the ball out of ball carriers hands. He has the ability to drop back in coverage and has the hands to come down with INTs. Swift will be a player with a lot of upside and will be on the radar this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["251313"],"_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-666b994b88c4d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">James is a stock riser that I think has the best chance to jump in the next rankings. He is a backer that gets after it and is able to bring a lot of pressure bringing the QB down when his number is called. He is quick to get hands off and makes plays at or behind the line of scrimmage. He has an offer from Fort Lewis but if he is able to build on last season he will be able to turn some heads.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["503796"],"_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-666b994b88c88"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lusk is one of the more explosive backs on the stock risers that I am excited to see this season. He is an X-Factor being able to make an impact on the ground or through the air. He has a lot of speed and when he makes it to the second level can turn on the jets and outrun defenders. He is a back that is able to make the first defender miss and will be looking to have another breakout season for the defending champs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["669194"],"_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-666b994b88cc1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shepardson is a backer on the stock riser list that plays with a lot of speed and is able to hit home when his number is called. He has the strength to set the edge and force run plays back into his help. He is on a defense that has tons of talent all over the field which allows him to play free and fast. He has a hand full of offers but will be looking to duplicate this past season and turn some heads on the way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["675339"],"_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-666b994b88cfb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hageman is a stock riser backer that has a lot of speed and can close the gap quickly to bring down the ball carrier. He plays with his hair on fire and is physical at the point of attack using his wrestling background to bring down ball carriers violently. He has quick hands and is able to get off of blocks in a hurry to make a play. He currently has some offers but if he is able to play anywhere near last season he will start seeing them roll in.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Today we will be looking at some LB's/RB's that were able to ball out this past season and raise their stock. These are some of the players that you will need to continue to know as they have a big senior season loading!
