He is a big bodied downfield threat with a huge catch radius and does a good job at boxing out defenders in the red-zone with high-point abilities and tracking skills. McDaniel is a physical ball carrier that looks for contact in the open field and is a smooth athlete for his size that also shows he is a willing blocker in the box. He has the ideal frame for the next level and will only continue packing on way through his final prep season. He is a no-brainer next level prospect and should start gathering college interest in the coming months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["891003"],"_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-679fb8c7a7c1e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ramsey checks into our quarterback rankings as a top ten signal caller in a loaded class, and is coming off a outstanding season for Eagle. He threw for nearly 1,800 yards and 23 TD's while tacking on another 200 yards on the ground. He is a very accurate passer that does a good job navigating the pocket while keeping his eyes downfield and delivering the ball into tight windows. Ramsey lead his receivers open away from defenders and puts a good zip on the ball on both in-breaking and out-breaking routes. He shows he can quickly read coverage's and does a good job moving through his progressions while not afraid to take what is given underneath. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1611373"],"_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-679fb8c7a7ca2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Simmons is still a developing prospect but has the ideal frame and length for the next level along multiple positions across the defensive line. He is a heavy striker with a quick first step and gets immediate lockout out of his stance while able to control blockers with ease. He plays with a high motor and natural bend around the edge while flashing a quick use of hands in tight windows. Simmons shows relentless pursuit backside and has closing speed when collapsing the pocket. At 6'4"+ he has tons of growth potential at the next level and upside and should draw college interest through his senior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["769568"],"_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-679fb8c7a7d1f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Apelu checks into our offensive line rankings inside the top 4 at the position and just inside the top 30 overall across Idaho. He is a true interior road grader that snaps out of his stance and gets immediate vertical push and displacement inside. He has a quick first step and shows a strong and balanced base throughout his block progressions while able to scrape to the second level and even pull needed. He moves well for his size and projects as a interior prospect in college. In past protection he has patient hands, is not a lunger and can anchor against bull rushers and move quickly enough to diagnose stunts/twists upfront. He is a no brainer D3+ kid that should be gathering college interest sooner rather than later. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1348542"],"_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-679fb8c7a7d9b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Perkins is one of the more athletic and high ceiling guys in his class and has tremendous bend in his stance and is explosive off the ball and creates immediate vertical push. Perkins can successfully block at the first and second level, and is athletic enough to pull and get out in space without getting outside of his frame and shows strong body control and finishes blocks downfield. Checking into our rankings as a top 5 player at his position, he is one of the top unsigned prospects in Idaho. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
