He is effortless, has tremendous footwork and some of the best hands in the state. He will pluck the ball out of the air and on deep balls, will show his hands late, giving no indication to his defender that the ball is coming his way. The best way to describe him is smooth. He is athletically gifted and has no wasted movement. He uses all that in conjunction with his speed to cause chaos on opposing defenses. His subtle fakes and head movements are cerebral and calculated to create separation. He can, and will takeover a game at a moment's notice and even with bracketed coverage, will find ways to get open. Pula wins at all three levels, and a joy to watch work. Pula has excellent size and uses his frame to his advantage, he will absorb contact and shed that defender and easily pick up chunk yards after the catch. He is a technician and a joy to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["438731"],"_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-67682e92a4c71"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sparrow is a tremendous athlete and has an assortment of release packages. He changes direction on a dime and has excellent ball-tracking skills. Sparrow's suddenness makes him deadly with second moves. He has strong hands and shows his hands late which puts corners at a disadvantage when trying to cover him and in chase mode. Sparrow has excellent footwork, works seamlessly to get upfield, uses his athletic traits to make defenders miss in the open field, and has great contact balance. Sparrow is a two-way player and will play Safety. As a defender, he is instinctive, and having that awareness of the offense, allows him to be an excellent free-roaming Safety to make plays. He displays excellent ball skills, is a ball hawk, and has great closing speed. Sparrow is quick to dissect plays and not afraid to get dirty and physical, he'll be a heat-seeking missile and with his closing speed, minimizes any additional yards gained by the opposing team. If he chose to focus exclusively on that side of the ball he would be a locked-in starter at the Power-Four level. Overall, Sparrow is one of the best athletes in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["212445"],"_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-67682e92a4cb9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Toala is a twitchy, snappy receiver with excellent footwork. Toala understands tempo and spacing and will attack his corner, get into the defenders' space, and use his lateral quickness to blow by. He tracks the ball well and shows great concentration. He is a player who can take over a game at a moment's notice and has tremendous hands and an alpha mentality on the field. Toala's athleticism and overall route running make him a must-watch every down. He's been a two-way player, and as a defensive back has great instincts. Toala has excellent closing speed and uses his ball skills to make plays on balls being thrown his way. It'll be interesting to see if he continues to play both ways next season or if the focus will be at the Wide Receiver position. Toala is a tremendous athlete and one of the best in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["720485"],"_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-67682e92a4d01"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Schramm has great ball-tracking skills and showcases strong hands along with a solid frame that allows him to have a large catch radius. He has great field awareness and body control. Schramm is a tremendous route runner and uses head fakes, being snappy helps him create separation. Schramm fights through contact and understands spacing and zone coverages. He will cut off his route, sit in the voided area of zone coverages, and exploit defenses. Schramm has great acceleration to create spacing when the ball is in the air and he shows good creativity after the catch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1634899' first='Jayson' last='Dunroe']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"180","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Viewmont","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Vikings","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67682e92a4db1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dunroe does a good job creating in space and operates well in the intermediate area of the field. He is a player who is quick to transition upfield with little wasted movement. The position graduates a lot of players and Dunroe is primed to pick up a chunk of the vacated targets that are available. He operates out wide, does a good job tracking the ball, and makes on-the-fly adjustments to underthrown balls. He's positioned to have himself a big final year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That was part 2 in our Wide Receivers group for the Beehive Buzz.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
