<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When you think about game changers you think about players that can find the end zone! These are some of those players that have a knack for punching it in and changing the momentum of the game. These are the players that you will need to keep an eye on whenever their teams are near the redzone.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1389425"],"_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-66c0d7d34ab2e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rossi is a powerhouse back that was able to prove his mettle by surpassing the 1,000 yard rushing mark last season. His strength and agility make him a nightmare for defenders, especially near the goal line. He has the vision and quickness to make the first defender miss and can get skinny in the hole to punch it in. He is a player looking to turn some heads and continue his dominance this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1389881"],"_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-66c0d7d34ab92"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Diamond is a dynamic duel-threat QB who can change the game with his legs just as much as his arm. He is known for his ability to escape the pocket and make plays downfield. His speed and elusiveness make him difficult to contain. His explosiveness is undeniable, he will just need to limit turnovers this season to be one of the most dangerous QB's in his league. He will be a player to keep an eye on early in the season to see if he is able to make the jump.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1109788"],"_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-66c0d7d34abd5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pennock is set to do some heavy lifting for Severance this season and will be a back that should be in store for a breakout season. He has excellent vision and has the ability to spot openings in the defense to exploit them with precision. When he makes it to the second level he is able to turn on the jets, leaving defenders in his dust. His speed, combined with his knack for making the first defender miss, make him a formidable threat in the open field. I think he is poised to be a centerpiece in this ground attack and he will be turning a lot of heads this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1392918"],"_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-66c0d7d34ac10"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cardoza is a back who brings more than just rushing ability to the table. He has exceptional hands and has the ability to make difficult catches, adding a versatile dimension to this offense. He is explosive in the open field and once he gets the ball is in his hands, he can use his speed to create big plays. His ability to turn runs and passes into long gains, makes him one of the more explosive players in the state and he will be a player you need to keep an eye on moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1392924"],"_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-66c0e2736776b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ray is a back who thrives on contact, using his power and toughness to wear down opposing defenses. He is known for his ability to power through tackles, he is the kind of back who relishes the physicality of the game. When his team gets near the goal line, he is a threat as he bulldozes his way into the end zone with determination that few defenders can match. He will be a go to in short yardage and is a player that defenses have to account for when he is on the field.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

When you think about game changers you think about players that can find the end zone! These are some of those players that have a knack for punching it in and changing the momentum of the game. These are the players that you will need to keep an eye on whenever their teams are near the redzone.
