<p>We are going to take the time to evaluate some guys we have been keeping our eyes on this season. These are guys we feel are going to rise through the rankings soon. We also think that these are some guys who are going to start pulling in some division one offers.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Butts is a 2025 linebacker from Columbus who we have been keeping up with for a while. This is one of those guys who knows how to fill holes. He knows how to come up and make good tackles. Butts has the frame that I wish I could have right now as grown man. You can see that he looks like a machine. He brings guys to the ground with ease. His strength does not make it hard for him to shed tackles on the field. Butts is a guy who we think is going to be an interior linebacker on the next level. We think he is a guy you want to have stopping the run more so than out in space.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">This is a guy who we do not talk about enough. We know that he is a guy who is going to rise through the rankings with ease. Smith is one of the most dangerous players on the football field. We have seen him do a lot of great things over the years. He is the kind of guy who knows how to run the ball between the tackles. You can also put in him in the slot and let him get busy. Smith is a player who has good speed on the football field. This is a guy who has a lot of strength to go along with his quickness. We think that he is a power four prospect who will definitely see his stock rise one day. This is a dude to know.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Here is a running back who can run with the best of guys. When you watch his film, notice that he is doing a lot better between the tackles this year. He is a guy who knows how to get away from defenders. He has amazing game speed that allows him to run right past guys. Kinkle is a guy who also has some size. You will not see him out there getting bossed around on the football field. We also know that Kinkle knows how to get busy between the tackles. He is a guy who has picked up a lot of power four attention.</p>

<!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["762056"],"_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-67191ca4b350c"} -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">This is a guy who we have been covering for a long time. Ruffin is a stud who knows how to get busy when he needs to come up and make a tackle. Ruffin has a true frame that allows him to be able to come up and make solid tackles on guys no matter how much weight he is giving up. We also know that Ruffin is a player who has the ability to get out there and cover. He was clocked at a 4.57 in the 40-yard dash at the Under Armour Combine in Nashville, Tennessee this past summer. Here is a guy who has those long arms to be able to shed blocks when he is on a blitz. He also has the good body movements you need to drop back and play safety. However, with his size and speed, we think that outside linebacker would be a more valuable position for him.</p>
