He shows good instinct, being able to get out of his breaks quickly and making a play on the ball. He is able to get off of blocks and is a good open field tackler. He will be a under the radar/stock watch player that has a chance to take a big leap this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1306387"],"_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-66900eee3a04d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hall is a thumper that has an old school mentality to his game and lighting up the ball carrier when he gets the chance. He has a motor and takes good pursuit angles to get to the ball. He is an edge rusher that is able to get off of blocks quickly or use his speed to put pressure on the QB. He will be looking to have a breakout season and should be a name to know as he tries to pop onto the radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1326155"],"_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-66900eee3a08f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vigil was a player in the new Prep Super League that was able to turn some heads. He is an edge rusher that has a high motor, being able to track the ball down from the back side of the play. He has good hands and is able to get off of blocks quickly to make tackles at or behind the line of scrimmage. He is a stock rise player that I think can make a big leap, as he has taken on the top players in the state and held his own.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1183092"],"_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-66900eee3a0d2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Espinosa is a dawg that is one of the top LB in the class and is a name you should know. He has good vision being able to read his keys and can work downhill quickly to fill his gap and make a play. He has the ability to drop back into coverage and keep up with receivers to bat the ball down. He shows good instinct being able to read and react and shows good hands scooping and scoring when he gets the chance. He will be a player that turns heads this season and will be a name to know moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1329887"],"_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-66900eee3a110"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Watson is an under the radar guy that has the ability to put some pressure on the QB. He has a quick first step and is able to use his strength to push his opponent into the pocket. He has some quickness and can beat his opponent with speed at times. He is stepping into a new system and will be looking to have a breakout season and will be on the Watch List for players to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Today we will be looking at some players that are looking to turn some heads and make a statement headed into their senior season. These are the players that you will need to add to the radar moving forward.
