These are the names you will need to have on the radar moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1614369"],"_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-679d5c150a4e1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Womack was the definition of a workhorse back this season nearly touching the ball 330 times with carries and receptions. He rushed for an eye catching 2,285 yards and was able to punch it in 30 times. He is a bulldozer being able to run through arm tackles and pick up chunk yards every time he touches the ball. With these numbers he will certainly have some attention on him this year and will be a name to know through the offseason as well. Look for him to be an early breakout candidate as he tries to duplicate this success next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1568246"],"_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-679d5c150a54d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Schuknecht is a physical runner that is able to lower his shoulder and run through smaller defenders when they get in the way. He has the ability to make the first defender miss and get on the perimeter to use his speed to pull away. Schuknecht had over 1,500 total yards this season and was able to show his ability to be an every down back for his team. He will be a top 1A player to know moving forward and should be on your radar this offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1614388"],"_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-679d5c150a595"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Martinez is a back that was able to show his explosive ability when he got into the open field, having a long of 62 yards. He rushed for over 1,100 yards on the season and was able to make the first defender miss at times. Martinez shows the ability to be a power back when you need to move the sticks. He will be an under the radar guy that will be able to turn some heads this offseason heading into the year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1530661"],"_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-679d5c150a5d9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McCray is a back that is able to use his speed to beat the defense, getting to the second level and turning on the jets. He had a rushing long of 75 yards paired with a 45 yard reception, showing the ability to be dangerous in the open field. He has the ability to make the first defender miss being shifty and can pick up chunk yardage. He was over the 1,000 yard rushing mark and will be a name to know in 2A this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1404785"],"_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-679d5c150a61c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mika is a back that knows how to use his vision to set up blocks and create running lanes for himself. When he gets on the perimeter he is able to let his blocks develop and pick up chunk yardage. He is not easy to bring down as he is constantly running through arm tackles. He rushed for over a 1,000 yards this season and was able to be a threat to score when his team was in the redzone. Look for him to be an impact player in 2A this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1614396"],"_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-679d5c150a65f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Whalen is a two sport athlete that is turning heads in baseball but I feel he can do the same on the football field this season. He is a back that is able to be a change of pace back, being able to pick up the chunk yards and move the sticks. He does show the ability to be a threat out of the backfield catching the ball as well. He will be a player that is looking to join the 1,000 yard rushing club and jump onto the radar this season.
