Hurth is patient behind the line of scrimmage, does a great job following blockers, and has the speed and acceleration to quickly turn upfield for huge plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hurth really impressed me with his toughness- he runs hard, frequently sheds off tackles, and requires multiple defenders to bring him down. Once he gets moving in the open field, good luck stopping him- Hurth can seriously hurt defenses with his speed and physicality. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last week, Hurth announced he picked up his first offer from North Alabama! With his talent, I won't be surprised to see more sent his way soon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Watch some of his tape from last season, he's a talented back with a big season ahead:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16067942/6764e0008a6b6c88d116f9cf' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6826199060f4a"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1674144"],"_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-6826199060f9d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1674144' first='Macin' last='James'] is a versatile OL out of Stanhope Elmore who has lined up and produced at multiple positions on their offensive line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>James has spent time and dominated at LT, RT, and RG. James has great size, serious strength/power, and impressive leverage he uses to dominate the line of scrimmage, especially for his team's run game. James consistently opens up massive lanes at the LOS and beyond for his teammates, creating tons of room for the ballcarrier to work with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm most impressed by James' versatility- he's a force at OT who can also line up and produce on the interior. Wherever he is, you can count on him to beat the man lined up in front of him- he's a physical, tough, and athletic OL who helps his offense wherever they need him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last week, James picked up an offer from North Alabama- this won't be the last, he's a talented OL with plenty of potential at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>James has some impressive junior film you can watch below:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16632443/6728d179b958afa5ded4997f' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6826199060fc4"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1674158"],"_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-682619906100b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1674158' first='Brock' last='Rushing'] is a dominant OT out of Haleyville who is starting to see his name grow in the recruiting world.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rushing can produce at a high level both as a run blocker and in pass protection. He's quick on his feet, has great size, and is a powerful dude who can provide wide rushing lanes and plenty of time for his QB to make decisions with the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm seriously impressed by Rushing's athleticism. At 6'4 275, Rushing has great mobility and can maneuver well in open space to deliver some massive blocks on screens/run plays further downfield. He's a really athletic lineman with a great skill set- it's going to be exciting to watch him this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rushing picked up an offer from North Alabama last week!

He can attack multiple levels of the field with how much separation he creates off his routes- and after the catch, he's an even bigger problem, using his vision and speed to carve up defenses for huge plays in the open field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm incredibly impressed with Gardner's skills downfield. He's a master at hauling in contested passes- his size, vertical, and catch radius make him a huge threat downfield who can get up and haul in some incredibly impressive receptions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Since the end of last month, Gardner has seen his recruitment take off- picking up offers from Arkansas State, Kennesaw State, North Alabama, and more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gardner had an impressive junior season last fall, check out some of his film below:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18464679/6733c313a95ccf78a9383cfb' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68261990610ad"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1674220"],"_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-68261990610ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1674220' first='Christopher' last='Johnson'] is an explosive RB who will be making his debut at Opelika this upcoming fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 6'0 210, Johnson is a physical back who defenses do not want to face. At his size, he's extremely fast and has a well-rounded skill set he uses to make plays all over the field. He has great vision, is patient for blocks, and can quickly cut to make defenders miss for huge plays on the ground. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I love seeing what Johnson can do for his team's passing attack. He's an incredibly reliable target out of the backfield who quickly gets open and creates huge plays after the catch, making him a versatile weapon in his team's offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson has seen his recruitment pick up over the last few weeks, picking up offers from Kennesaw State and North Alabama!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson was unstoppable last season, check out some of his film below:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19872410/66ff6b018f54d4cd1f24b62f' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6826199061111"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
