In what has been known as a run-first offense in recent years, Tyler was the <a href="https://x.com/TylerKnutson_8/status/1866839962689097751/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">top passer</a> in Prince William County completing 128 of 221, 2,295 yards, and 28 TDs, averaging 17.93 yards per completion. I expect Tyler to once again be one of our top passers at the showcase even amongst a good QB group attending. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16218161/Tyler-Knutson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/TylerKnutson_8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1231520"],"_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-677ea1c9b94c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Xavier is an exclusive running back who operates best in situations where he can be in space to make a cut and burst through the hole. This is especially evident in his Zone running plays on film. I expect him to shine in the 1v1 drills in the camp and put up great testing numbers. He will be one to keep an eye on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19610027/Xavier-Joplin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/XJoplin4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1232853"],"_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-677ec782efaea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I am really excited to see Alex compete at the showcase. He is a leader and a team captain. A dependable stacked LB who can defend the run and pass. Finished with a good stat line of 81 tackles, 8 TFLs, 3 sacks, 13 QB hurries, and a 72 yard pick 6. He understands the game and is disciplined to carry out his assignment. I am looking forward to see him compete at the showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16402134/Alex-Lake" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/alex24lake" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[1601627],"_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-677ea1c9b950d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Matthew is a TE and DL attending the camp. I like his size at 6'3" 230lbs. Used primarily as a blocker on film, I will be interested to see him run some routes at the camp. He shows relentless pursuit on defense, is a hard hitter, and you see him make an impact against the run. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19505693/Matthew-Morgan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/Matthew_m60" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1177963"],"_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-677ea1c9b954a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A player I have been high on, Jaycob is a WR/RB/DB/QB that I expect to make himself known at the showcase. I expect solid testing numbers, and he should hold his own in the 1v1 drills. Any lower levels schools looking to add a versatile player and a leader will want to pay attention to Jaycob.

His Hudl highlights show him playing CB and making some nice plays in coverage. Played on a very good Forest Park defense that only had 173 points against this year (<em>According to <a href="https://www.maxpreps.com/va/woodbridge/forest-park-bruins/football/schedule/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MaxPreps</a></em>). An intriguing prospect who I am looking forward to seeing on Sunday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17934597/Barry-McManus-jr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/Mcmanusbarry07" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></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='1601607' first='Alex' last='Cevallos']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"175","_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":"Chantilly ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_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-677ea1c9b966c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alex is an unknown name to us currently. I cannot find an X Account for him, and his Hudl shows no film. His 6'1" 175 height and size intrigues me.
