He is quick on the field and runs great routes to help himself get open. He has reliable hands and will be a top target in this Highline offense for years to come. He had 9 catches for 149 yards a few weeks ago, making his presence known.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["726159"],"_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-671a98eb1c681"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nick is more known for his defensive awareness and quickness as a defensive back but Elliott has been showing he's valuable in more ways this season. As a reciever this year, he has already had multiple games with 10 plus catches and 100 plus yards. A few weeks back, Elliott put up 10 catches for 193 yards and 1 touchdown. He even showed out on the defensive side, as usual, with an interception.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["984711"],"_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-671a98eb1c717"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maxten is looking like a big time prospect/athlete for Lake Stevens. He is just a freshman but is already getting involved in the offensive passing game frequently as the season progresses. He already stands at 6'1", 175 pounds and will only get stronger, faster, and more well rounded. Against Ferndale a few weeks back, Cook had 4 catches for 108 yards and 2 touchdowns.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1523671"],"_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-671a98eb1c78b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Colby has been playing very, very good football at the quarterback position. Bossert is patient in the pocket and can deliver accurate passes when sitting in the pocket. He can roll out and hit guys while on the run too, being athletic and able to have defenders miss. Against Mariner, Bossert had 225 yards passing and 4 touchdowns in 3 quarters of play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["584671"],"_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-671a98eb1c7fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Julius is quickly becoming a highly sought after prospect within the state of Washington. He has been having a monster sophomore season and will only continue to get better. A few weeks back, Julius had an outstanding game having 22 total tackles, 13 for loss, an outstanding EIGHT sacks in one game, while also forcing a fumble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
