Defensive 14-15U Recruits Who Shined At The Hoosier State Hustle

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Defense showed up in a big way at the Hoosier State Hustle, especially in the 14U and 15U divisions. From lockdown coverage to timely turnovers and relentless pressure, these young defenders made their presence felt all weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1398349"],"_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-67f2d79669b64"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stevenson made one of the plays of the weekend early on in day 1 and then backed it up with just consistent play from then on out. He sat back in zone, waited for the receiver to stick his foot in the ground, and jumped the route. He baited the QB into making the throw and timed the interception perfectly. He then broke up a bunch of passes and was on his guy like glue. I liked Stevenson quite a bit and felt he was one of, if not the most consistent player out there on D.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1650031"],"_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-67f2d79669c61"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stokes is a bigger framed LB who can cover and if it was live, lay some decent hits. I liked his ability to flip his hips and run as well as come downhill. He didn't get beat over the top and has the length to swat balls away and keep himself in the play. He was good this weekend and was much better in the 2nd set of games and showed all the traits you want.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1354241"],"_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-67f2d79669cc6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wilson has a good feel for the backend and knows when to come downhill, go up for the pick, swat the ball, and when to let things go. He does a fantastic job staying right in phase with his receiver and you could tell it was getting underneath some receivers' skin that they couldn't create any space from Wilson. They won a lot, and part of it has to do with the defensive consistency they have.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1652618"],"_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-67f2d79669d29"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Massey had a good weekend and was an issue for offenses over the middle of the field. There were a handful of times when just the presence of Massey lurking made guys look up, lose focus, and drop the ball. He's a tall big LB who can lay the wood when he needs to and receivers knew that this weekend, even though it was just 7 on 7.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
