2028 Recruits Who Made A Freshman Statement

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're looking at 5 recruits who had a good freshman year and made a name for themselves moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1476776"],"_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-6792c1ce761bb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mollenkopf possesses traits to develop as an outside receiver and that's how he began his high school career. He earned trust throughout the season and was one of their big play guys. He got better later in the year, but the offense struggled at times. Mollenkopf can win on the outside and make those contested grabs. He finished his freshman season with 22 grabs for 420 yards and 3 TDs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1606673"],"_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-6792c1ce76249"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The freshman linebacker had a very productive year, starting all season and putting up 83 total tackles, 61 of which were solos. He added 4 TFLs and a sack in the backfield and was involved in 3 different fumbles throughout the year. If he can develop his frame and put on some muscle, it'll help him tremendously in the trenches and could help round out his game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1261510"],"_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-6792c1ce762a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 2-way player for North Central has a chance to fly up boards moving forward. There's a chance he's currently too low, but he's on the radar nonetheless. He rushed for 146 yards this year and caught 23 passes for 319 yards and a TD. He then added a full season's worth of work defensively putting up 82 tackles, 17 TFLs, 3 sacks, and an interception. His frame is a bit raw, but he has the length and athletiscm to be a star.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1476777"],"_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-6792c1ce76309"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gary West Side does a fantastic job of finding speedy players who can make their offense dynamic. One graduates, and they find another. Moore is next on the docket and climbing up the ranks. His 204 rushing yards and 3 TDs may just be the beginning for him in this offense, but I like what I saw—a smaller back who runs with confidence and is decisive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1606662"],"_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-6792c1ce7636f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dove led all freshmen this year with rushing yards in the state sitting with 769 and 5 TDs. He's dynamic, makes quick cuts, and fits into their offense perfectly. They get guys to playmakers in open spaces by designing the right reads for them in the running game. Dove fits that mold to a T and will be a key player for that offense for the next 3 years at the very least.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
