His outstanding play helped the Miami Trace Panthers to a 7-win season where they averaged 32.7 points per game. He shows great athleticism as he bounces runs to the outside before turning the corner. He runs with very good power and contact balance as he breaks tackles from LB with ease before falling forward for extra yardage. He is a reliable receiver in the passing game as he runs wheel routes and exhibits very good hands as he makes the catch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["852080"],"_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-67d47e7c5cdd8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Andyriq played great as a Sophomore in 2024. His very good play helped the Pickerington North Panthers to an 11-win season where they averaged 32 points per game and advanced to the 4th round of the playoffs. He displays excellent vision as he quickly finds the open hole and exhibits good burst as he gets through the hole quickly. He keeps his feet moving on contact and drags LB several yards before picking up a first down. He displays very good mental toughness as he elevates his play in the redzone.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1434416"],"_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-67d9f49280d46"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Devlan had an awesome Sophomore season in 2024 where he rushed for 2260 yds and scored 34 TD. His excellent play helped the Indian Hill Braves to a 9-win season where they averaged 31.6 points per game and advanced to the 3rd round of the playoffs. He finds the open hole and exhibits excellent burst through the hole. He displays excellent contact balance breaking tackles from LB/DB with ease. Once in the open field, he exhibits very good play speed as he outruns all defenders and scores on a long TD run. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1207696"],"_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-67d9f49280de4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reno played very well as a Sophomore in 2024 where he rushed for 880 yds and scored 11 TD and caught 14 passes for 192 yds and 2 TD.

His very good play helped the Avon Eagles to a perfect 16-0 season and the Division I State Championship where they averaged 38.25 points per game. He displays good vision as he reads the blocks and finds the open hole. He exhibits good quickness in the open field before scoring on a long touchdown run. He is a solid receiver in the passing game showing good hands as he makes the catch.
