2026s Best Multi-Positional Athletes

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Multi-positional athletes are oftentimes the most attractive to colleges. So, all of these prospects should hypothetically have a leg up when it comes to recruiting this Spring. Here are my evaluations on five multi-positional athletes. My opinions range from D3 - D1. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["563430"],"_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-67c0a5c31d82a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Strengths</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Super well-rounded player</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Great contact balance</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Good size- ideal for MAC</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Great player in space</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Very capable receiver or receiving RB</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Weaknesses</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Could have a touch better COD</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Seemed pretty cocky when I saw him last</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Don't know how good a blocker he is</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Traverse seems to be getting better and better year after year. A year ago, I viewed him mostly as a receiver, but his running back highlights make me think he can be a RB at the MAC level. Bounces off tackles better than most. Good strength. I know he's well-built. Screams MAC running back</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1225684"],"_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-67c0a5c31d8d7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Strengths</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Great physicality</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Great effort</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Weaknesses</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Stiff athlete</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Not in a position to succeed</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Played QB while he should be at linebacker mainly. Best player for a poor-performing team. Very physical when scrambling. Very physical in general. Good size as well. Need to see in person, but gut tells me that he's physical enough, big enough, and competitive enough to be a great D3 guy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["568191"],"_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-67c0a5c31d957"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Strengths</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Decent athlete</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Solid route runner</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>A few instances of great hands</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Can be physical</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Good size for safety</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Weaknesses</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Always told he was a GREAT athlete.

Dexter is a good team, and Nolan made a lot of mistakes. Most notably, he was very hesitant on a lot of run plays. Struggled to work downhill and help tackle. His tape is good though, showing solid ball skills and able to read and react quickly. Just needs more reps. Also, if he really is as athletic as I've been told he is, he'll be successful in college.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1298707"],"_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-67c0a5c31d9d7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Strengths</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>A good player on an awful team</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Good in the open field</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Far above average physicality for size</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Decent instincts</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Weaknesses</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Looks lost while playing DB</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>On a BAD team</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Bad vision</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Good player on one of the worst teams in Michigan.
