2027’s You Should Know

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we move more into the offseason let's take a look at some of the sophomores around the state that are going to be names to know as they move toward their junior years. Many of these players contributed right away as sophomores but some played on the junior varsity while being primed for break out junior seasons. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1506661"],"_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-678155f6848ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mitchell is an impressive sophomore who played big time minutes for Highland this season. A back with great speed and agility that is really able to make defenders miss in space. He shows good patience at the line of scrimmage and then is not afraid to run downhill with authority. Has sold hands out of the backfield that makes him a multidimensional threat. He is the next in a long line of great runningbacks to come out of Highland. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1303763"],"_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-678155f684985"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Baxter played primarily on the lower levels at Rocky and that is a testament to the depth they had at the varsity because keeping this player off the field is going to be hard to do. He is as explosive a sophomore we have seen on tape. Able to make defenders miss, break tackles and has game wrecking speed. He also is a sold pass catcher out of the backfield and should be on everyone radar as the first week of the season approaches next year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["938871"],"_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-678155f6849fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Barrett has a really good year for Kimberly where he has 649 yards receiving and 12 touchdowns. He is able to go get the football out of the air and win the 50/50 ball along with his ability to really create separation. He is a smooth route runner that is able to get in and out of his breaks with really soft hands. He tracks the ball well and should be a player to keep an eye on in the coming years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["939019"],"_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-678155f684a6d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Schrack was another player that had a really good year for Capital. He has 619 yards receiving and 4 touchdowns. A player with really good speed and acceleration that allows him to get behind defenders and make big plays. He has natural hands that really allow him to grab the football out of the air and not let it get on his body. He is a talented player and one who is going to make a huge impact for Capital. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1506668"],"_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-678155f684ae3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stockham is a really good player that has the ability to impact the game on every snap. As a sophomore he was able to throw for 719 yards and 10 touchdowns. He has good rhythm and feel to his game where he is able to get the ball out quickly. He plays tough and stands in the pocket but really shines as a leader of his team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
