He excels in press coverage, using his physicality to disrupt timing and throw receivers off their routes. Guinto also possesses reliable hands, allowing him to capitalize on turnover opportunities and come down with interceptions at times as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1626428"],"_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-6809224cc638b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lavender is a rangy safety with strong instincts and excellent ability to track down the ball. His quick reaction time and clean footwork allow him to break on passes effectively and cover slot receivers with confidence. Lavender also plays with physicality, recording 37 total tackles and half a sack showcasing his versatility as both a cover man and run stopper.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1507774"],"_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-6809224cc63d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Varra is a dynamic two-way player who consistently makes an impact on defense. As a corner, he shows no hesitation in getting involved in run support, posting 54 total tackles and 6 tackles for loss. Varra's vision allows him to anticipate throws, recording two interceptions one which he returned for a touchdown. With his aggressive style and coverage ability, he will be a rising name in the 1A ranks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1604463"],"_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-6809224cc6418"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nega brings impressive length and athleticism to the defensive backfield. He uses his frame to redirect receivers and disrupt route timing, while maintaining solid positioning in coverage. Nega plays with discipline, staying over the top and keeping threats in front of him. He'll look to emerge as a defensive leader and difference-maker this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1592090"],"_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-6809224cc645c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Preciado is a versatile defensive back capable of both dropping into coverage and applying pressure near the line. With 37 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, and 2 sacks, he is a player that can hit home when his number is called. Preciado also shows solid footwork and anticipation, allowing him to break on passes and create turnover opportunities. Expect him to be a key contributor and a stock riser this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
