<p class="text-gray-700">Quintin played great as a Junior in 2023. He lines up in the slot and in the backfield. He is quick off the LOS and shows good hands as he makes the catch with his hands. After the catch is made, he is very elusive with the ball in his hands which in combination with his excellent play speed enables him to outrun all defenders with ease and score a TD. When running the ball, he shows good vision as he finds the open hole and displays very good mental toughness as he rises to the occasion in the redzone.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The future Toledo Rocket had an awesome Junior season in 2023. He lines up as a MLB and OLB. Against the run, he shows very good football intelligence as he reads and reacts quickly to the play. He moves through traffic very well and displays great instincts and range taking the correct angle in pursuit before delivering a big hit as he makes the tackle behind the LOS for a TFL. Against the pass, he reads the RB before quickly penetrating the LOS. He exhibits great closing speed in pursuit of the QB before finishing up with a sack. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Jaycee played great as a Sophomore in 2023. He plays as a FS and CB. Against the pass, he provides great help over the top and does a very good job of reading the QB and quickly locates the ball in the air. He times his hands perfectly as he disrupts the trajectory of the ball for a PBU. Against the run, he quickly reads run/pass and exhibits very good play speed in pursuit. He plays with good leverage as he delivers a nice form tackle preventing a gain of significant yardage. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Derek had a very good Sophomore season in 2023. He plays as an ILB and OLB.

Against the pass, he uses his excellent combination of hand use and play speed to defeat the attempted block of the OL. He plays with a very good motor in pursuit before sacking the QB. </p>
