His ability to hold his ground and maintain gap integrity makes him a standout. Agosto thrives against double teams, using his strength and technique to fight off blocks and allow his teammates to rally to the football. He plays with a high level of physicality, shedding blockers quickly and bringing down runners with force. His presence in the middle disrupts offenses, making it difficult for them to establish a consistent ground game. Expect Agosto to be a name that gains traction as the season progresses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1620917"],"_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-67b66b4ce3270"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zeck is a defensive end who thrives in the backfield, constantly disrupting the flow of an offense. His ability to get off the line quickly and create chaos led to an impressive 8 sacks last season. Zeck excels at setting the edge, using his hands well to disengage from blockers and keep contain against the run. His 61 total tackles highlight his ability to make plays in space, showing he's not just a pass rusher. His combination of speed and power allows him to take advantage of mismatches, and when his number is called, he knows how to finish. His relentless motor and ability to disrupt plays make him a player to watch as he looks to take his game to the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1621260"],"_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-67b66b4ce32b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bivins is a defensive end who has a knack for making plays behind the line of scrimmage. He finished last season with 47 total tackles, including 7 tackles for loss, showcasing his ability to penetrate the backfield and shut down plays before they develop. Bivins uses his quick hands and strong technique to disengage from blockers, allowing him to set the edge effectively and contain the run. His awareness in pass defense also makes him a unique threat, as he recorded an interception last season. As he continues to develop, Bivins will be looking to make an even bigger impact this upcoming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["815139"],"_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-67b66b4ce32f0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At 6'6”, Holles brings elite size and strength to the defensive line, making him a nightmare for opposing offenses. His sheer length allows him to disrupt passing lanes, batting down passes and forcing quarterbacks to adjust their throws. Holles is an anchor in the trenches, capable of playing two gaps and controlling the line of scrimmage with his power. His ability to stand up offensive linemen and read the backfield makes him a dominate force in both run defense and pass-rushing situations. Holles plays with a relentless motor, flying around the field and creating opportunities for his teammates by forcing mistakes. While not all of his contributions show up on the stat sheet, his impact on the game is undeniable. Expect Holles to be a game-changer next season and a name that gains traction on the recruiting radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1621665"],"_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-67b66b4ce332c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Walker is a defensive end who brings constant pressure off the edge, making life difficult for quarterbacks and running backs alike. His ability to set the edge and get upfield quickly allows him to make plays behind the line of scrimmage. Once Walker gets his hands on a ball carrier, there is no escaping, as he has the strength and grip to bring them down with authority. He finished last season with 8 sacks, proving his ability to finish plays when he gets into the backfield. His impact isn't limited to defense—he also made his presence felt on special teams, blocking multiple field goals. Walker's ability to create chaos makes him a standout prospect. I believe he can be a difference maker next season, with the potential to draw some attention from scouts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
