These are the players who names you need to know as we move into the offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1514975"],"_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-67bcb66629252"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Irizarry was a dynamic two-way player last season, finishing as the team's second leading receiver with 337 yards. He thrives on intermediate routes, showcasing quick cuts and fluid movements that allow him to separate from defenders. He is a receiver with a lot of speed having a long reception of 60 yards proving his ability to be explosive in the open field. With last season's leading receiver graduating, Irizarry is expected to become the primary target in the passing game. His blend of speed, sharp route running, and playmaking ability makes him a key player to watch as he steps into a featured role.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1365048"],"_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-67bcb666292ac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Davis is a versatile weapon who makes an impact in multiple phases of the game. As a returner, his speed and elusiveness allow him to flip the field position in an instant. As a receiver, he thrives as a possession receiver while also possessing the ability to stretch defenses, averaging an impressive 21 yards per catch. His skill set enables him to be a reliable receiver that can move the chains and be an explosive playmaker. With his ability to influence the game in different ways, Davis will be a crucial player to watch this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1475551"],"_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-67bcb666292f3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Studebaker is preparing to take on a larger role in the offense this upcoming season and he will look to elevate his game. He was the team's second leading receiver last season with 298 yards and tied for second in touchdown receptions with two. Studebaker is a big play threat having the potential to be explosive on any play, averaging 16 yards per catch, but he will aim to be a more consistent target this season. His development as a reliable receiving threat will be key, and he has a great chance to emerge as a rising prospect heading into the offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1620997"],"_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-67bcb66629337"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hicks brings a polished skill set to the receiver position, standing out with excellent body control and the ability to high point the football. His precise route running ability allows him to create separation and stretch defenses vertically. Once in the open field, he is elusive, capable of making defenders miss and picking up chunk yardage. As the team's returning leading receiver, Hicks is poised to take on a leadership role in the offense. With his combination of hands, speed, and route running, expect him to be a critical playmaker this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1146614"],"_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-67bcb6662937a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hernandez is entering his senior season with high expectations, looking to take his game to the next level. He possesses the speed to create separation and keep defenders on edge. His wide catch radius makes him a reliable deep threat, as he can go up in traffic and secure contested catches. Hernandez also shows toughness across the middle, willing to absorb contact while making sure to secure the catch. As he takes on a larger role in the offense, look for him to be a major stock-riser and a key target throughout the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1619014"],"_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-67bcb666293bb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Collard is a speedy receiver who thrives on stretching defenses vertically. His ability to get behind defenders makes him a constant deep threat, while his wide catch radius allows him to make difficult, highlight reel grabs. Collard is also a strong perimeter blocker, helping set the edge and create running lanes for his teammates. His combination of route running, speed, and willingness to contribute in multiple areas makes him a key player to know in this offense. Expect Collard to be a key playmaker this season as he continues to refine his game and expand his role.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
