<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These athletes shined at #PRZStockUpCO and are names that you will need to keep on your radar for the offseason as well as moving ahead.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1580293"],"_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-67634d0e05e3a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Barnard proved he is not one to back down from a challenge, competing fiercely against the top players at the camp. Despite limited DB representation, Barnard stood out by turning heads with his physicality and technique. He excelled near the line of scrimmage, staying hip-to-hip with receivers and batting down passes. His ability to play trail technique effectively showcased his defensive prowess. Barnard also demonstrated great awareness, adjusting to different receivers' styles and maintaining focus throughout drills. He is undoubtedly a player to watch as he continues to develop and refine his skills in the seasons to come.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["689789"],"_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-67634d0e05eb3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rau continues to impress, showing up to Prep Redzone events and delivering consistently. A smooth route runner, Rau gets in and out of breaks with precision and displays excellent hands. His wide catch radius and precise route-running ability create significant separation from defenders. Rau's ability to remain calm under pressure and his knack for making tough catches make him an invaluable asset to his team. With his skill set and work ethic, Rau is poised to emerge as a top-tier wide receiver and a must-watch player this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1112994"],"_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-67634d0e05f13"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cole showcased a physical style of play, utilizing his strength and speed to jam receivers and stay tight in coverage. He effectively disrupted routes, bumped receivers off their timing, and stuck to them like glue. Competing with top WRs, Cole held his own and made breaks on the football with precision. His physicality near the line of scrimmage and ability to adapt to different challenges made him a standout. Expect Cole to be a stock riser as he is a consistent and reliable DB who can handle elite competition moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1346446"],"_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-67634d0e05f6f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mozer demonstrated his potential as a route runner with notable speed and reliable hands. He excelled in winning 50/50 balls and creating separation. As he develops and adds weight to his frame, Mozer's skill set will make him a force to be reckoned with. He showed flashes of his high football IQ by adjusting his routes to match defensive coverage and maximizing his opportunities. A 2028 class receiver, Mozer is a young talent with significant upside who is likely to attract a lot of attention in the coming years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["814079"],"_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-67634d0e05fce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of only two running backs at the camp, Releford made a statement with his speed and football IQ. His route-running ability and quick cuts allowed him to create mismatches against backers, while his hands ensured he caught even the toughest passes. Once in the open field, Releford's speed made him nearly impossible to catch. His ability to maintain balance and his explosiveness after the catch set him apart. A rising star with a bright future, Releford is a must-know player who will continue to impress as he progresses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1581244"],"_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-67634d0e06028"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Garcia impressed as a quarterback with a strong arm and pinpoint accuracy. His ability to lead receivers and place the ball where only they could catch it highlighted his maturity and understanding of the position. Garcia's footwork and consistency in threading passes into tight windows make him a promising QB to keep an eye on moving forward. His poise under pressure and ability to read defenses suggest he's ready to take the next step in his development, making him one of the top young quarterbacks to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["983376"],"_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-67634d0e06084"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coming off an injury, Lee still managed to deliver a standout performance. Armed with a cannon for an arm, Lee showcased exceptional ball placement, consistently leading his receivers and fitting passes into tight windows. His arm strength and knack for making difficult throws solidify him as a quarterback to know. Lee also demonstrated impressive resilience, shaking off any rust and playing with confidence and precision. His willingness to compete and natural leadership qualities make him a true competitor and future star, ready to elevate his game in the seasons ahead.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
