Official measurements are a little foggy, but he looks on the smaller side. Regardless, he is a good enough athlete to extend plays and give himself space to throw. He has a long, natural release and gets the ball off in a hurry. He has easy arm strength, allowing him to make throws even without a perfect base. He does an excellent job of throwing with the timing and placement to give his receivers space to run after the catch. Collins was efficient and protected the ball, throwing 13 TDs against just 2 INTs while completing over 60% of his pass attempts. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1578528"],"_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-67b0fc8635ba2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1578528' first='Paxton' last='Dobbs'] is an athletic, fluid TE prospect who effortlessly skates around the field.

He is also tough to catch in the open field and has just enough wiggle to create his own yards when needed. He will need to add some more play strength to hold his own as a blocker, but he is a willing blocker with good technique and hand placement. Dobbs has plenty of room to get bigger and will improve as he adds more weight and twitch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Ayden Abdullah-Tolson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"190","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2495","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Alexander","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67b0fc8635cbf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Here is my Nov: 20. 2024 eval on Ayden Abdullah-Tolson:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"Ayden Abdullah-Tolson is a versatile, well-developed DB prospect who projects best as a nickel/safety. He is a smooth mover, frequently gliding across the field to make tackles. He is patient in coverage and has smooth hips, allowing him to handle in-breaking routes well. He uses his length to frequently crowd and annoy the hands of WRs, while also proving hard to throw over. He has room to add plenty of weight, which will only make him more formidable as a tackler.

He does a good job settling down in an alley and mirroring ball carriers before making tackles. Despite being thinner, he fights hard against contact.

He is fluid in the hips, turning and running in different directions to chase after receivers. His 12.65 100M might not indicate him being a burner, but he looks faster on tape.

He is long and has decent bend, but his motor and relentless pursuit of the football sticks out most to me. It certainly helps that he has long strides and solid top-end speed. He also settles down when setting the edge and keeps the action in front of him, protecting the edge and funneling the ball carriers. Shannon is only going to get better with more work in the weight room. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>Other Names Mentioned</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>'26 WR/DB LeShawn Belton - 5'8 160</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>'26 WR/DB Terrence Booker - 5'8 150</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>'26 K Joshua Castillo - 5'9 160</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>'26 OL Jasen Dewere - 6'1 295</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>'26 RB/WR [player_tooltip player_id='283778' first='Andre' last='Lovett'] - 5'6 160</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>26 WR/DB Bryce Murphy - 6'0 180</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>'26 DB/RB Daylen Scott - 5'6 155</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>'26 RB/DB Asahud Tehuti - 5'8 160</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>'27 TE/LB Levi Akin - 6'1 175</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>'27 IOL/DL Cameron Blount - 5'9 265</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>'27 RB/LB Ar'Mon Burris - 5'8 185</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>'27 OL/DL Brady Dever - 5'9 205</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>'27 WR/LB Preston Neau - 5'9 175</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>'27 OL/DL Mykah Lord - 5'7 240</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>'27 IOL/DL Jack Scott - 5'9 225</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>'27 RB/DB Josh Smith - 5'5 160</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>'27 OL/DL Kasey Thomas</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
