He has the ideal build for the tackle position, good feet in pass protection and can win against both speed and power rushers with patient hands, strong punch and is a natural bender in his stance. Buckey also displays a nasty finish, inside hand placement through out his blocks and can finish downfield with nasty intentions. Already holding a offer from Northern Arizona, look for Buckey to add to his offer list in the coming months. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1362373"],"_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-66b7a6e453d3b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dyakonov is part of a loaded Folsom team in 2024 that should be on their way to playing deep into December, as they are loaded at every position. He should fit in nicely at either tackle spot for the Bulldogs and is a violent blocker that finishes downfield and brings extreme athleticism to the offensive line, especially for a rising Junior. Vlad has elite length and athleticism for the tackle position and shows patient hands in pass protection while able to post when needed and can win against both speed and power rushers. On tape he flashes a quick first step off the ball and quickly gets defenders off the LOS while able to pull across the LOS with ease and has a nasty finish. Holding one offer from UNLV already, he should rack in FBS offers over the next few months and will be one of the top tackles across the state over the next two years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1361598"],"_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-66b795455c1fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vuki had a very productive off-season this Spring and hauled in offers from both hometown Sacramento State and a big time offer from Arkansas. The rising Junior standout is one of the top interior offensive linemen across the state, and checks into our rankings inside the top ten at his position in a very loaded class. Vuki explodes off the ball well with a low hat, strong punch and can quickly move defenders off the ball while showing he can pull and get to the second level too. Vuki is a true road grader that excels blocking inside the tackles and is another prospect that should have a breakout Junior campaign and huge off-season next spring. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1361606"],"_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-66b7a6e453e70"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson is a very intriguing tackle prospect that exploded onto the scene this Spring and picked up an offer from Washington State a few months ago. Johnson has the ideal size and length for the tackle position, and moves well for his size while excelling in pass protection and shows he can block in space and get tho the second level/pull when needed. Johnson checks into our updated rankings just outside the top ten across the entire state, and he should have a breakout season in the WCAL and be one of the best in one of the toughest leagues in northern California. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
