He has good size and overall frame to get to around 215 lbs without any limiting factors to his overall athletic traits. Cocci has a strong arm and easily makes off-platform throws. He showcases good arm talent and the ability to deliver a good deep ball without setting his feet. Cocci is a quick processor with good ball placement and he displays good pocket navigation and mobility within the pocket. He does a good job of climbing the pocket and resetting his throwing windows and is calm under chaos. Cocci showcases good mobility and is a good power rusher. When he decides to take off and run, he has little to no wasted motion and is a good north and south runner. Cocci will continue to develop and is an interesting prospect for the 2027 class and adds to the evolving landscape in Utah. </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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1694614' first='Drevin' last='Christensen']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"165","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Provo","_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-67fb03736c513"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Christensen is an exciting prospect for the 2028 class and has a good frame to grow into as he continues to develop. He showcases good size and he stands tall in the pocket. Christensen is a good processor, will step into his throws and has a quick delivery. He showcases good arm talent and throws a good deep ball. Christensen throws well on the run and throws with good ball placement. He has good mobility and has elusiveness within the pocket and will extend plays with his legs and keeps his head up to look for the open receiver. Christensen will likely have to wait for 2026 but he's an exciting prospect with a bright future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["717909"],"_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-67fb03736c58a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Finau is an exciting athlete with a good frame to him and brings physicality as part of his game. He is a dual-threat Quarterback with great mobility and showcases good speed as a runner. Finau mixes in elusiveness and power as a runner and not afraid to lower his shoulder and gain additional yards. He's been in an RPO setting when he's been in the game and he has a good processing skill set and a quick delivery. Finau throws well on the run and makes off-platform throws with ease. He's a versatile piece on an offense who can play Quarterback and Running Back and that versatility makes him an exciting athlete for the 2026 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1555752"],"_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-67fb03736c5f4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Manuela is a good athlete and a decisive decision-maker. He's done well in an RPO setting where he can use his quick processing to his advantage and his legs. Manuela showcases good mobility and pocket movement and resetting his trajectory. He has a quick release and does well with off-platform throws. Manuela bides additional time with his legs and will move the chains. He's an elusive runner with a good ability to make defenders miss.
