He has good size for both the edge or the interior defensive line spot and is a very twitchy pass rusher with active hands and a strong punch of the point of attack with a quick lockout and violent disengage. He shows that he is a balanced defender that is technically sound against both the run and the pass and is a no-brainer D3+ player</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["484761"],"_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-66c8ebe644b97"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vanek is one of the better interior offensive lineman across Idaho, and checks into our rankings inside the top 10 at the position, and just inside the top 40 overall. He moves well for his size, can get immediate push off the LOS and is a true mauler inside that overpowers defenders with his size and initial strength. Vanek also shows he can get out and block in space/pull when needed and scrape to the second level with good body control and takes the proper angles. Vanek is one of the better overall players across the state, and holds offers from both Carroll College and Whitworth University from the Northwest Conference. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["417961"],"_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-66c8ebe644c08"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Crook is one of the top interior offensive linemen across the state of of Idaho in this 2025 class and is a true road grader that wins with leverage, strong initial punch and a powerful lower half to quickly move defenders off the ball. Crook is a high IQ kid that can read defenses quickly, adjusts well in pass protection and plays with a strong base, active feet and patient hands against both speed and power rushers. Crook should be able to find a home at the D3 level in college at the center position, and could be a small school steal as we approach the first and second National Signing Day this Winter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["740604"],"_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-66c8ebe644c77"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Barrus checks into our rankings as the number 9 defensive lineman in his class and just inside the top 40 overall, and has tons of growth potential and upside at the next level. He has a massive frame that can pack on weight through college, and he plays with great length, range when collapsing the pocket and is a truly raw and explosive pass rusher. Barrus is a high motor kid that can pursue backside, shows violent hands at the POA against drive blocks and has good redirect abilities while a strong tackler in space. Barrus also shows some natural bend to turn the corner when collapsing the pocket and should be in line for a huge Senior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1089153"],"_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-66c8ebe644cdd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Joyce is one of the top running backs across all of Idaho, and is coming off a stellar Junior season for Teton. He checks into our running back ranks as the number two overall player at his position, and should be atop the rushing leaderboards every week this Fall. He is extremely explosive to the first level while showing natural ball carrying abilities and forward lean with Good leg drive-through contact. He is a twitchy runner with start/stop abilities that can make defenders miss both in the hole in an open space while showing cutback abilities and good vision in the open field. Joyce also shows he has breakaway speed and has a very complete skillset for the running back position. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
