With his length, vision, and ball skills, he consistently makes plays on the ball, recording three interceptions on the year. Mbamarah has the ability to eliminate his side of the field, shutting down receivers with physicality and technique. He's not just a coverage specialist, his willingness to step up in run support is evident in his 28 total tackles, where he showcased his ability to fill gaps effectively. This offseason, expect him to make waves on the camp circuit and attract even more attention from scouts. With his combination of athleticism and instincts, he is poised to establish himself as one of the top defensive back prospects in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1635123"],"_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-67e4320ee64a4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A true playmaker in the secondary, Filleman has a knack for being around the football, tallying 69 total tackles. When he drops down into the box, he uses his speed and anticipation to pressure quarterbacks, resulting in one sack, seven hurries, and four tackles for loss on the year. His coverage skills are just as impressive, his lone interception was taken back for a touchdown. Filleman plays with physicality, delivering hard hits that can dislodge the ball from receivers crossing the middle. Quick to shed blocks and diagnose plays, he consistently makes open field tackles. As he continues to develop, expect his stock to rise, making him a name to watch among the state's top safeties.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1635098"],"_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-67e4320ee64f1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yahn turned heads with a dominant season, racking up 92 total tackles and proving himself as a reliable presence in the secondary. His ability to read plays and react quickly makes him a key player in this secondary in both run support and pass coverage. Yahn plays with speed and instincts, closing on receivers before they can turn short gains into big plays. His ball hawking skills were on display with four interceptions, showcasing his ability to jump routes and make game changing plays. With his well rounded skill set, Yahn is expected to make a strong impression on the camp circuit and draw attention from scouts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1625996"],"_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-67e4320ee6539"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A dynamic defensive back with special teams impact, Dotison brings speed and versatility to the field. He is an aggressive playmaker who can pressure the quarterback, as evidenced by his sack, while also excelling in coverage with four interceptions. Dotison's 56 total tackles and two tackles for loss highlight his ability to step up in run support, and his forced fumble speaks to his physicality. With his blend of toughness, vision, and ball skills, Dotison is poised to build on his standout season and should be able to pop onto the recruiting radar early.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1554553"],"_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-67e4320ee6587"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Music has a natural ability to read quarterbacks and anticipate throws, making him a true ball hawk in the secondary. His five interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown, demonstrate his exceptional hands and playmaking ability. Music isn't just a threat in coverage; he also contributes in run defense, posting 44 total tackles while showing sound open field tackling skills. His speed and physicality allow him to eliminate opposing teams playmakers, making him a defender capable of shutting down an entire side of the field. As he continues to develop, expect him to emerge as a must know name for scouts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1642762"],"_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-67e4320ee65cf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A physical and instinctive cornerback, [player_tooltip player_id='1642762' first='Jaxx' last='Sare'] uses his size and strength to disrupt routes at the line of scrimmage and force receivers off their timing. His ability to read quarterbacks' eyes and jump routes led to four interceptions this season. Sare is also a reliable tackler, registering 31 total stops and proving his effectiveness in run support. His combination of speed and technique allows him to play in trail coverage, breaking on the ball at the last second to make plays. As a high jumper in track, he brings that to the football field using his leaping ability to high point the football and contest catches at the highest level. Expect Sare to continue rising as one of the top cornerbacks to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1641476"],"_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-67e4320ee6617"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reddix brings a unique combination of speed and physicality as a defensive back. His track background is evident in his quick transitions and his break on the ball ability. Despite totaling just 30 tackles, he showcased his ball hawking skills with three interceptions. His playmaking extends beyond defense, as he also made an impact on offense with seven receptions for 102 yards and three touchdowns. When he gets his hands on an interception, his explosiveness in the open field makes him a scoring threat. With his versatility and athleticism, Reddix is a defensive back to keep an eye on moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
