<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In Georgia, it's a must you have to be a physical player no matter the position. It's a naturally a physical sport but it's certainly no way around it when it comes to Georgia, you must bring a certain level of physicality. These guys who I am going to list are guys who are tackling monsters that hardly ever let ball carriers around them on film.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1404690"],"_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-67b7629da7750"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams is one of the sure tacklers in the state in the 2029 class. His presence on the defensive line is certainly felt every time he lines up in the trenches. His ability to move off of the ball is great and his ability to tackle is top notch and that makes one reason why he's among the best in his class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1467338"],"_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-67b7629da77e7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mincey is a complete guy in the trenches. He plays both offensive line and defensive line and is a force on both lines. It really helps him to play both because it gives perspective on what to expect from the opponent. Mincey is a great tackler when playing on the defensive line and he's a player who can choose which side he wants to play because he's that good on both sides!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1467576"],"_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-67b7629da7856"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson is another guy who can play both sides in the trenches. He's an all-around player there and can make any tackle at any moment when need be. He's a guy who can maneuver on the line to get to the ball carrier in a hurry. In the 2029 class, he's one to see!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1398456"],"_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-67b7629da78c3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I have covered Rome a couple of times and he's impressive not only with his ability but the frame and size he brings to the field. He brings a physical presence to the field and a strong game IQ. He's fundamentally sound yet has plenty of developing to do, which is a great sign. Samuels is the real deal and is a sure tackling monster!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1579854"],"_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-67b7629da7919"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One thing about the Rome Wolves is they always produce great defensive lines, and they develop and send those guys off to play ball at the next levels. Arguably the greatest defensive line in state history came out of Rome just a few years ago, followed up by some very closely talented defensive lines in their own rights. [player_tooltip player_id='1579854' first='Ra'Naj' last='Acker'] is one of those guys who could potential be a part of another great defensive line to add to the many before it. Acker has the great ability to tackle and once he gets his hands on you it's hard to shake. He also plays on the offensive line and does a great job there also. He's the kind of player who can be developed in both areas and be a potential next level player. One thing about Aker is he's an all-around player!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

In Georgia, it's a must you have to be a physical player no matter the position. It's a naturally a physical sport but it's certainly no way around it when it comes to Georgia, you must bring a certain level of physicality. These guys who I am going to list are guys who are tackling monsters that hardly ever let ball carriers around them on film.
