He's already terrific at tackling- he does really well in pursuit, taking great angles and using his closing speed to track and take down the ball carrier in the open field and down by the line of scrimmage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bush is just as good in coverage- he provides a ton of security over the top of the field as a safety, doesn't let anyone get behind him, and has the vision and ball skills to break up passes and haul in interceptions downfield. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bush had a great freshman season last fall, ending the year with 18 total tackles (11 solo and 7 assisted) one INT, and one PBU. Teams at the next level are starting to take notice, Bush picked up his first offer from Lousiana last week and is set to attend several programs over the next few months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out his tape from last year below, he has a bright future ahead of him at Theodore.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/22059628/6739ab1db978c2e407e0e965' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67eb196ce9130"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1649413"],"_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-67eae3c9c750a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1649413' first='Jamari' last='Nicks'] is a highly athletic 2028 WR/RB out of Winterboro who put together some impressive film last season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nicks is highly athletic and can do so many things well with the ball in his hands- he is super fast, can easily make defenders miss, and can affect the game from multiple positions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At WR, Nicks is a matchup nightmare for opposing DBs- he is a talented route runner who finds separation at every level of the field, has a great set of hands he uses to haul in tough-to-catch passes, and can create huge plays after the catch by using his speed and elusiveness.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nicks is just as much of a threat at RB- he's explosive out of the backfield, has the acceleration to rev up from 0-100 with ease, and has the vision to find and take advantage of holes in the defense for huge gains on the ground.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nicks has picked up offers from Tennessee and Arkansas over the last few months and is a prospect everyone needs to watch out for in the recruiting world going forward- he has a ton of talent and is set up for a huge year this upcoming fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19318182/673f58e56536928fd4acb4c1' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67eb196ce91aa"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1184384"],"_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-67eae3c9c755c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1184384' first='Ya'Lin' last='Lee'] is a talented 2028 RB out of Saraland who has established himself as one of the top prospects at his position in our 2028 Rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lee is a problem for defenses out of the backfield- he's fast, has great acceleration and twitch, and can create huge runs inside and outside the tackles.

At 6'4 280, he has the size and strength to physically dominate nearly everyone who lines up across from him, consistently creating wide rushing lanes for his teammates and pancaking defenders into the dirt every snap. West is just as good in pass protection- he's quick on his feet, can counter rush moves, and is an anchor on the outside who doesn't allow for any pressure or sacks on his QB.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What stood out to me most when watching West's tape was seeing how much effort he plays with- he's a guy who takes pride in dominating the trenches and blocks through the whistle every single snap.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was really impressed with West's tape, be sure to give him a watch below- he's got a bright future ahead of him on this Vestavia Hills offensive line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18283878/671ae6469f39c64e41f599c9' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67eb2fd477db1"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
