He has been one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks I have seen for a while. Running the football, he is almost like a fullback who just runs hard and runs through defenders. He also has good quickness and elusiveness. As a thrower of the football, he is consistent and does a nice job throwing a catchable football. On defense, he is a playmaker who had two interceptions he returned for touchdowns the other week. Howse is a talented player in the 2025 class and a big reason why Lampeter Strasburg should have a good chance to win the 4A title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">[player_tooltip player_id='1165818' first='Caileb' last='Howse'] - Hudl updated stats 11 games:<br>All the credit to my teammates! 85/131 1302 yards 65% comp % 12 TDs<br>0 INTs 107 carries 1183 yards 19 TDs <br>23 tackles at safety with 5 ints (5 defensive TDs (4 INT returns and one fumble) <a href="https://t.co/ehoRwN7Cz5">https://t.co/ehoRwN7Cz5</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1165818' first='Caileb' last='Howse'] (@CailebHowse13) <a href="https://twitter.com/CailebHowse13/status/1855995869281018241?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 11, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["941126"],"_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-673530a3da612"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='941126' first='Drew' last='Engle'] has had an interesting season. Engle is a talented running back in the 2026 class, but he was hurt for part of the season. Then, Friday night, Twin Valley welcomed him back, and Engle and Twin Valley took care of Susquehanna Township and got the big win. Engle is a homerun hitter who can score anytime he touches the ball. That's how special of a running back he is. He also has a physical running style as well and he is hard to bring down. Engle is a talented running back who should be able to make an impact on the rest of the playoffs for Twin Valley.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Congratulations to <a href="https://twitter.com/drew_engle26?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@drew_engle26</a> on surpassing 2,000 career rushing yards!
