From Holes to Highlights: The RB & OL Combine Warriors

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another successful Prep Redzone Combine series wrapped up in Colorado. Today, I will be discussing the running backs and offensive line who attended the event. Balling out and making a name for themselves, each player competed with grit and toughness throughout the event. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1335261"],"_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-681102183cb58"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Our MVP for RBs, Ridenour earned it by showcasing his very good athletic ability as well as receiving ability. He has very good acceleration, speed, good change of direction and jumping. During the drills against the LBs, he showed his shiftiness. Making defenders miss while tackling him. Very good dynamic juke moves. In the receiving game, he showed his very good hands. Extending his arms to pluck the ball, and coming down with contact. This freshman is an explosive running back, and has a bright future ahead of him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1570709"],"_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-681102183cbb9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chapala really impressed me as both a running back and a receiver. He shined in the receiving drills. Chapala has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, change of direction, good speed, and balance. Chapala is a shifty running back, who uses his good vision and long stride dynamic cuts to make LBs miss. In the drills against DBs, Chapala made a beautiful deep ball catch. He extended his arms, used his strong fingers and hands to secure the catch. Very good catching. He uses his good speed to beat the DB in press jam and get open. Very good ball tracking skills. I can see Chapala getting more looks as a receiver after this type of performance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1622913"],"_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-681102183cc02"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Measuring in at 6'2 253 pounds, Jay has good size for an interior lineman. Jay's very good strength was on display throughout the event. During the individual drills, he showcased good hand placement and good hand strength to control and steer his opponent out of the way. Very good competitive toughness. If he was beat on one rep, he'd come back the next and win it. Jay is leaned into his physicality and did well. That's what you want to see from an OL. Good job from the junior out of Dakota Ridge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1606209"],"_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-681102183cc47"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Logan won the MVP for the OL. Measuring in at 6'4 280 pounds, Logan has very good size for a lineman. He uses his very good strength and physicality to overpower his opponent. He showed off his good quick foot work. Very good initial quickness out of his stance. Getting a low pad level in due part to his good knee bend. Logan has very good hand placement and good hand strength to control his opponent. He was explosive and uses his powerful legs to drive forward. Relentless effort. Great job for the young OL.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401310"],"_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-681102183cc8a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Schwartz has attended our PRZ events multiple times, and I've seen the growth. He has very good mental processing, and consistently takes in the coaching from his teachers. He has good athletic ability due to very good balance, change of direction, good speed, and acceleration. His shifty quick feet were on full display, making LBs miss during the drills. His balance really stood out to me. When he'd stumble or lose his footing, he'd readjust and keep churning forward. His development as a pass catcher needs to be noted too, he had a good performance catching the ball. Keep an eye out for Jack!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1620533"],"_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-681102183ccce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Measuring in at 6'3 245-pounds, Stark-Kelly has good size for an interior lineman. Stark-Kelly has very good strength. He starts with a low pad level due to his very good knee bend, and maintains good balance throughout. Stark-Kelly has good initial quickness out of his stance, engaging first with his opponent. Good hand placement and very good hand strength. Overpowers the defender. He showed his good acceleration during the 40 yard dash, and quick feet during the drills. He plays with a tenacity and aggressiveness to him.  I'm very excited to see how Stark-Kelly continues his development as a player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1596588"],"_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-681102183cd12"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Spain came out to compete from North Dakota, and didn't disappoint. He showed his blazing speed throughout the camp. Spain has very good athletic ability due to very good speed, acceleration, good change of direction and balance. Spain's quick feet were on display too. Spain is an elusive runner, who makes defenders miss by weaving around them. Very good dynamic cuts, allowing him to pivot and change direction with ease. Good vision. In the receiving portion, he showed his good route running ability and was beating DBs at the line of scrimmage. I'm excited to see how Spain continues his development as a running back and pass catcher.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
