<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These are the athletes that are poised for big things as they refine their craft this offseason. Keep an eye on these rising stars as they prepare to make a significant impact in the upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["806107"],"_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-676a08622cd3b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Berninzoni is a defensive back who thrives on his natural ball instincts. His ability to read through receivers to the quarterback's eyes allows him to break on passes with precision, often disrupting routes or coming away with an interception. Berninzoni's knack for playing physical at the line and disrupting timing makes him a formidable presence. His football intelligence and ability to anticipate plays make him a constant threat to opposing offenses. With a critical offseason ahead, Berninzoni will look to solidify his place on the radar and lock down a starting role for the upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1581246"],"_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-676a08622cdca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A young, dynamic receiver, Trujillo-Mahar already demonstrates advanced football IQ and quickness. His ability to get in and out of breaks fluidly, combined with strong hands and impressive vision to find soft spots in zone coverage, sets him apart. Trujillo-Mahar also has the size to outmatch smaller defenders, giving him an edge in contested situations. As he continues to develop physically and gain experience, Trujillo-Mahar will become a problem for opposing defenses and is undoubtedly a player to watch for Rampart moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1129872"],"_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-676a08622ce2e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hirstine brings a strong arm and excellent deep ball accuracy to the quarterback position. His ability to extend plays with his feet, move the pocket, and deliver precise throws under pressure makes him a high-ceiling prospect. Hirstine's ability to read defenses and adjust his throws on the fly shows maturity beyond his years. He excels at pushing the ball downfield, and his feel for the game is advanced for his age. He is a player that should be added to the radar immediately as he works to build on his impressive skill set.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1252919"],"_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-676a08622ce90"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A precise route runner with exceptional body control, Shields has all the tools to become a dominant possession receiver. Shields' ability to high-point the football and pin defenders behind him makes him a reliable target in contested situations. His footwork and timing allow him to create separation on short and intermediate routes, making him a consistent chain-mover. His open-field playmaking ability and knack for moving the chains make him another young Grandview player to watch closely.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1113017"],"_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-676a08622cef6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Poirot is a technical receiver who excels in the finer details of the position. His footwork, showcased through drill work, and his reliable hands are standout traits. Poirot is the type of player who thrives in high-pressure situations, using his polished skill set to make key plays. His offseason focus on polishing route running and learning from experienced teammates will make him a key possession receiver in the future, someone his quarterback can trust in critical situations.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1581243"],"_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-676a08622cf5b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Warren is a quarterback with a strong arm and a sharp football mind. His intermediate passing game stands out, consistently leading receivers into the perfect spot and displaying impeccable ball placement. Warren also displays a poise in the pocket that belies his youth, allowing him to navigate pressure effectively. His field awareness and academic prowess highlight his high football IQ. He is a dual-threat leader on and off the field and a name to remember for both athletic and academic achievements.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1397378"],"_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-676a08622cfb8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Garcia brings speed and playmaking ability to Riverdale Ridge's loaded receiver group. His ability to create separation, combined with his wide catch radius and reliable hands, makes him a deep threat who can also excel after the catch. Garcia's ability to adjust to poorly thrown balls and still make tough catches demonstrates his versatility as a receiver. His knack for hauling in difficult receptions ensures he'll be a key contributor for his team moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

These are the athletes that are poised for big things as they refine their craft this offseason. Keep an eye on these rising stars as they prepare to make a significant impact in the upcoming season.
