He's a vertical threat who can stretch the field and draw attention away from his teammates. He demonstrates a quick release due to his good foot speed and acceleration, along with his foot quickness to cover ground quickly. French displays good body control and hand-eye coordination to adjust mid-route and catch against contest. He's also a threat after the catch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Note - 3.2 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ibebrysonfrench/status/1884848307157062010","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ibebrysonfrench/status/1884848307157062010 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1655911"],"_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-67fb1ad5d4d3a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1655911' first='Luke' last='Heringer'] is a player to watch in 2025.
