The 5'9 150-pound shifty receiver had 49 receptions for 710 yards and 8 touchdowns. Lewis has some fantastic receiving skills. He has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, change of direction, and jumping. Very good release against both off coverage and press release. Very good separation quickness due to his athletic ability and outrunning the DB at the top of the route. Lewis makes very quick and crisp cuts while route running. He has good sideline awareness keeping both feet in bounds. Very good catching and ball tracking skills. He adjusts his body, elevates, and uses his suction hands to grab the ball. After the catch, he uses his very dynamic juke moves to make defenders miss. He also has home run speed to run past everyone. Lewis is a MUST know name to watch out of the 2027 sophomore class of WRs.</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":"Brody Null","_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":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"160","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Doherty","_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-67d09f07ebae2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Null was a trusty receiver for his QB. Null measures in at 6'2 160-pounds and led all 4A sophomore receivers in touchdowns and receiving yardage. He had 46 receptions for 736 yards and 10 touchdowns. He had good athletic ability due to good jumping, speed, acceleration, and change of direction. Null has a good release at the line of scrimmage against both off coverage and press jam. He has good separation quickness due to his athletic ability and very good mental processing. He'll identify an open void and exploit it for the big gain. Null has good body adjustment and control. He's able to adjust to the ball in flight and make the over the shoulder catch. After the catch, he isn't afraid to get physical by putting the shoulder down to truck through DBs. Very excited to see how Null does next year!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["691219"],"_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-67d09f07ebb32"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miller is a fantastic young wide receiver. Measuring in at 6'0 170-pounds, he accounted for 27 receptions for 359 yards and 6 touchdowns. Miller has very good athletic ability due to very good speed, acceleration, jumping, and good change of direction. He has a good release at the line of scrimmage against both off coverage and the press jam. He creates good separation between himself and the DB. Very good catching and ball tracking skills. This kid has made some crazy catches. He has very good body control and very good body adjustments. On a sideline pass, he jumps and extends his whole body, staying inside the sideline making the catch. Wow. Miller is a very good contested catch receiver. He has strong hands to hold onto the ball. Miller is also willing to block and show to have good blocking ability. He gets aggressive, and allows his teammates to rush through the lanes he made. With more playing time, I believe Miller will be a top tier wide receiver for years to come. He has all the intangibles, and I was genuinely wowed with some of the catches he produced.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1631963"],"_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-67d09f07ebb79"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Villeneuve's quick twitch ability impressed me. He measures in at 5'10 175-pounds, accounting for 35 catches for 413 yards and 2 touchdowns. Villeneuve has very good athletic ability due to very good change of direction, speed, jumping, and acceleration. He has a very good release against both the press jam and off coverage. Very quick feet to use the 1,2 shake getting defender's feet tangled. He has good separation quickness due to him outrunning the DB. Cache has very good body adjustment, and adjusts to balls thrown behind, above or below. He is good at contested catches. One thing to note about Villeneuve is he isn't afraid of going over the middle and taking the big hit. He uses his good hand strength to hold onto the ball. Very physical blocker too. Good hand placement and hand strength to lock out the LB and create lanes. Keep an eye out for him, that quick twitch is no joke.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["826250"],"_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-67d09f07ebbbe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Montoya's has continued to impress at camps. Montoya measures in at 6'3 195-pounds. He has good athletic ability due to very good jumping, good speed, acceleration, and change of direction. Good ability to decelerate then accelerate, confusing defenders. He's a big body receiver who has lengthy arms and range. He has a good release, and good separation quickness. Sits in the zone void patiently. Montoya has good catching, plucking the ball out of the air. After the catch, he fights for extra yards by trucking through defenders or fighting through multiple ones. He is a very good run blocker. He's got good strength, hand placement and hand strength to lock up defenders and create running lanes. Montoya's aggressiveness and willingness to block separates himself from other receivers in that aspect. He's also a good special teamer. Running through blocks and making the tackle. He will be dominated defenses for the defending 4A champions next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
