Game Changing Athletes Vol. 7: Utah (11/7/24)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Utah is full of scenic views and the football landscape is just as pretty. Youth leagues across this state have players who will stand out no matter the coast. A lot of stereotypes are thrown on athletes coming from the West but these five studs keep pushing the needle for the love of football where you can get overlooked globally. Not under Prep Redzone Nexts watch!!!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1544102"],"_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-6728b47b5d64a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kingston is a pure all around football player who executes with passion who just happens to be a freak athlete. Size does matter. I haven't witnessed a dominance on the football field paired with being a wide receiver and middle linebacker. That says a lot of the mentality of this kid. Great read and recognition pre and post snap. Killer instincts and drives through the hit. Attacks the ball the same way when it's in the air and finds a way to make big plays over and over. This kid will stay elite!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1514977"],"_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-6728b47b5d6b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hard to say what side Bueno will end up concentrating on in high school, because he can do it all. Just throw the athlete tag on him and get out the way. He's active all game, whether, it's taking an interception back for a touchdown or catching a slant and taking it the distance. Kenneth works hard off the field and it shows. His instincts are next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1544170"],"_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-6728b47b5d6f9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>And just like that Roman has helped lead his team to becoming State Champions in the 2024 season. This kid just continues to make plays. He throws dots to receivers for touchdowns when he's not on the receiving end. He punts and makes you pay by running for first downs if your not set up correctly. He strips and or scoops and scores when locking down the secondary. A lot of potential with a broad skill set. Quick, strong, smart will take you a long way in this game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1544125"],"_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-672a37d236c5d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Xavier is a major problem on both sides of the football. The most notable thing about this athlete is to find the football and you will find him. He is playmaker and physically imposes his will on opponents. At LB he reads quickly and reacts even faster. Good hip explosion when suring up tackles and runs the ball hard as if he was chasing himself. This kid jumps off the film. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1544129"],"_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-672a37d236cc7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">T. Washington is an athletic ball hog when he steps on the field. He is elusive with the football in his bread basket and will not give up on plays that I have witnessed. Reliable hands and power after the catch allows him to pad on the yards. Defensively, if you come his way have a game plan. If the ball is in the air, he assumes it's his. Tristan is an all around old school football player that get his job done.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
