Tough, hard nosed kid that will run through a wall and doesn't care how big or tough his opponents are. He hits the hole with a purpose between the tackles and runs with a low pad level- keeping momentum forward and will run directly through and over opponents. Good speed as well as he possesses solid vision to find those cutback lanes when stretching the edge, and holds that top end speed to finish big plays. A well polished Back that can bring a bit of everything to the table, and given an offseason to increase that size and strength will be a game changer for Harris heading into the spring. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1603449"],"_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-67f5fd2cdf8cc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cricked proved be a legit big play threat, rushing for 821 yards and 10 TD's on 113 carries. Along with this, he totaled 10 receptions on the year for 199 yards for 4 TD's. Good speed once he hits the 2nd level and shows sharp lateral bounce with the ability to explode or slip in between opponents to spring himself loose. He runs with authority as well- showing the ability to lower his shoulder and run through opponents to finish runs. Plus athleticism all around as he's a two way standout- and will only continue to mature and develop into his skillset within these next two years. </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":"Holden Mikeworth","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"130","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"San Tan Foothills ","_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-67f5fd2cdf981"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mikeworth put up 1,000 yards and 10 TD's during his junior season, and holds strong potential to be that breakout Back San Tan Foothills needs. Don't be fooled or overlook him by his size, as he shows a nice initial burst with the ability to slip through narrow lanes and frequently springs himself free. Excellent ball security as he keeps it tucked high and tight, as Mikeworth didn't fumble at all last year within those 172 carries. Big time sleeper as we head into spring ball with big potential moving forward. </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":"Zachari Haley","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_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":"170","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Sabino","_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-67f5fd2cdfa1a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Haley put up 987 yards and 10 TD's last season and enters 2025 with a chip on his shoulder to be the man on campus at Sabino. Very dynamic kid that can not only line up at RB and be a workhorse type of back, but can line up in the slot in empty and be a vertical threat down the field as a receiver, and run routes out of the backfield as well. Long frame with long strides but still possesses legit speed- as he truly looks like he can be a game changer given a full offseason to continue to develop. He doesn't shy away from contact either- frequently showing his willingness and strength at the POC to lower his shoulder and run through opponents to fight for extra yards. A flat our pure football player with a ton of potential here this fall. </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":"Jett Walker","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"169","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Show Low ","_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-67f5fd2cdfabd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another big time player in that 3A East Conference, as Walker totaled 761 yards and 9 TD's on 140 carries on the ground, while also putting up 300 yards receiving and 2 TD's. Walker possesses excellent vision to immediately spot and bounce runs when lanes are taken away at the snap, and gets his shoulders squared downfield to run with a low pad level without sacrificing that speed. Really good 0-100 acceleration to hit top speed quickly, and was oftentimes one step away from breaking many more long runs. Fast, physical player which is lethal at the 3A level as he holds a ton of potential to put up big numbers here this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
