<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Football has become a get to the quarterback at all cost or take away the ball that is intended for the target.

He has shown physicality at the line of scrimmage, slowing down releases. Even though he is not yet over six feet tall, he has long arms and covers a good range. Mattix is disciplined with his eyes and feet, causing a lot of breakups and frustration when receivers try to extend away from their bodies for catches. As he gains weight and speed, he is on pace to be in the conversation come Friday nights.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1628156"],"_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-67b9fec8e4105"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Micah Elliott is a dual-sport prospect with a deep skill set. On the football field, you can find him making plays on the defensive side of the ball in the secondary. He has ideal length and the consistency to make tackles in space. Micah also owns a nice pair of hands that serve him well on both sides of the football. His high football IQ is a main contributor to his ability to disrupt plays and cause turnovers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1628168"],"_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-67b9fec8e414d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mekhi Charles is a talented athlete who can play safety or corner at a high level. He closes the gap on ball carriers quickly, cutting off the field to secure tackles. His ball skills are top-notch, and he has the stats to back it up. He has a couple of pick-six plays and interceptions to put some respect on his name. Once the ball is in his hands, he can actually do something with it during the return. Mekhi is a leader and doesn't avoid competition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1628171"],"_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-67b9fec8e4191"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Christian is a pure cornerback with a smooth backpedal and breaks on the ball with no wasted motion. He is no stranger to a championship atmosphere and competes against the main target. His impressive agility allows him to stay on top of receivers, baiting the quarterback into throwing his way. Christian has great hips and shows instincts that will fare him well in high school.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1628176"],"_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-67b9fec8e41d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jacasyn McCloud is a multi-sport athlete who possesses lateral agility and linear speed. He is built like a cover corner but will come downhill to keep the ball contained. I like the way he high-points the ball thrown his way and deflects it if he can't come down with it. He transitions out of his stance well and stays in the hip pocket of receivers who run routes effectively. His raw ability makes for a high ceiling heading into prime time action on weekends in Texas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
