<p class="text-gray-700">Cuellar is a versatile two-way player who can make game-changing plays on both sides of the ball. With great hands and the ability to high-point the football, he is a dangerous weapon whether he is lined up and receiver or DB. His speed adds another dimension to his game, making him a threat to score anytime he touches the ball. He will be an impact player that you will need to keep an eye on this season. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Burks may not be the biggest back on the field, but he is certainly one of the most elusive. Burks possesses an uncanny ability to make the first defender miss, turning what should be short gains into an explosive one. His quickness and agility make him a nightmare for defenders to bring down in the open field, and his excellent hands make him a threat out of the backfield. Expect burks to be a key contributor as he is ready for a breakout season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">McKernan is a crucial component of Fairview's special teams unit, known for his pinpoint accuracy and quick delivery as a long snapper. His ability to get the ball back in a hurry ensures that his teams kicking game runs smoothly, allowing his team to capitalize on field position. His solid blocking technique makes him an asset on special teams but he is looking to expand his role and his versatility will be a key factor. He will be a stock-riser to keep an eye on this season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Schield is a DB who plays with a physical edge. With his physical playing style, he is a player that likes to get hands on and throw off the timing of the receivers. This physicality extends to the running game as he is not afraid to come down and deliver a hard hit on the ball carrier. When his number is called, he can apply pressure on the QB, showcasing his versatility by bringing him down for a sack. He will be a focal point on this Rock Canyon defense that will be trying to punish their opponent every chance they get.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Alvidrez is a technically sound DB who excels in coverage. His ability to stay hip to hip with receivers makes him a difficult player to beat, and his strong hands allow him to come down with the INT when the opportunity arises. His anticipation and football IQ enable him to make plays on the ball, knocking down passes or jumping the route for a pick. He also shows a willingness to come down and contribute in the running game, making him a well-rounded defender. Expect Alvidrez to be making impact plays throughout the season.</p>
