He is a big and physical playmaker that excels at making plays in traffic with strong hands, a big catch radius and can box out smaller defenders downfield. He also shows the ability to block downfield when needed from either the slot or when in a inline position and provides good versatility either in the slot or with his hands in the dirt. As he continues to grow and develop, he should be able to find a home at the next level on either side of the ball as he has the growth potential to continue to grow and pack on more weight/mass to his long frame.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["769568"],"_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-66e47dc92a296"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Apelu checks into our ranks just outside the top 15 overall in the 2026 class, but as a top 2 offensive lineman across the state. He is a true interior mauler that wins with a strong initial punch, good pad level and powerful lower body that can quickly create vertical push in the run game. He shows the ability to pull and get to the second level with proper angles and can sustain blocks downfield while showing good finish with some violence at the first two levels as well. Coming off a stellar 2023 campaign, he should continue his dominance in the trenches this Fall and be a name to note as we head into the off season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1182906"],"_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-66e47dc92a2d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Joyce is one of the top safeties across Idaho regardless of class, and checks into our 2026 rankings as the number one defensive back in the 2026 class. He is a high IQ prospect that can cover the entire back half of the field with tremendous open field tackling abilities, takes good angles in space and brings a nice thump at contact when coming downhill in the run game. He also flashes outstanding ball skills, high-point abilities and is smooth in transition with fluid hips and a quick trigger when breaking to ball carriers. Look for Joyce to be in the mix as one of the top ballhawks this Fall, and he should be a candidate to draw D3+ interest/roster spot offers as he continues on through his prep career for Teton.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1089042"],"_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-66e47dc92a30d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dombek made the transfer from Timberline to Boise high school for his Junior season, and will look to build off a solid 2023 campaign as he progresses through the Fall. He projects as a interior prospect that excels in the run game and is very strong at the POA while creating immediate knock-back and does a nice job at controlling defenders with inside and strong hands, while showing consistent leg drive and finish through contact. In pass protection he is patient while able to fin against power rushers with a good anchor and recovery abilities if beat, and shows good lateral movement/short area adjustment abilities against speed rushers and pressure inside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["891003"],"_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-66e47dc92a356"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ramsey is a very efficient signal caller and one of the top in his class as we move through the 2024 season, and he will plenty of experience as he heads into his Junior season for Eagle. He throws a nice deep ball with good spin, velocity and placement over the top while showing he can process quickly, throw on the run and across his body without losing zip. Ramsey also has some under rated movement abilities in the pocket as well, flashing the ability to escape and get out of arm/ankle tackles and step up in the pocket to deliver the ball downfield. He currently has eagle sitting at 1-1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
