He checks in just outside the top 30 overall, and is a top 10 linebacker in this 2025 class. He is a very fluid second level player that breaks quickly to ball carriers, can provide a nice pass rush from various angles and is a quick processor that is also a big time hitter in the box with incredible instincts and takes good angles in the open field. He holds offers from Valley City State, Rocky Mountain College and Puget Sound and it would not be surprising if other schools came into the mix down the stretch as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["484759"],"_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-66c6c652e8647"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The rising senior is a very active edge defender that plays in a stand up role and can also cover the flats when needed. He is a very explosive defender in the short area with a heavy punch and good redirect abilities while able to provide a strong pass rush off the edge. He wins with a high motor, plays with good leverage and is able to quickly get off blocks with heavy hands/controls blockers with ease. He has a few pass rush moves as his disposal and understands when to use primary and counter moves, while a natural bender around the edge with plus closing speed and COD abilities. He currently holds one offer from the College of Idaho. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1358944"],"_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-66c6c652e8688"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nelson is still a growing and developing prospect but checks into our ranking as a top 5 player his position and just outside the top 30 overall. He covers a ton of ground off the edge while doing a nice job at locking out blockers and collapsing of pocket quickly while winning at the point of attack with pursuit and speed around the edge. He is still raw, but has tremendous growth potential at the next level due to his size and length for the position, with the ability to pack on more weight. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1136059"],"_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-66c6c652e86d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hanson is a massive framed prospect that could find himself on the other side of the ball at the next level due to his size and length, possibly at the tackle position. He checks into our rankings at the number 6 spot across the defensive line and just inside the top 35 overall. Defensively, he is a heavy handed center that eats up gaps and is athletic enough to two gap when needed and is able to win with overall strength and using his length at the point of attack. As he continues to work on his change of direction and movement abilities he shows some good growth potential at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["569232"],"_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-66c6c652e870e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gee is a very intriguing prospect at 6'5" and change, and is another high upside kid that has untapped growth potential in college, and could end up turning into a tackle as he packs on more weight to his frame and fills out. He has gained nearly 40 pounds since last off-season, and checks into our ranks as a top 10 player at his position and could be someone who moves up our ranks as he moves through his Senior season for Cole Valley Christian. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
