Blackwell does a great job using his size and catch radius downfield- you can rely on him to consistently fight for the ball on contested passes to make plays over the top of defenders. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was really impressed at how well Blackwell attacked different levels of the field. With his size and athleticism, he's a great option one-on-one downfield, but he also has the speed and quickness to create explosive plays underneath, consistently taking screens and other shorter passes for huge gains. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out some of Blackwell's tape below- he's a talented player with a big senior season ahead. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Easton_2_/status/1856508271248527715","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Easton_2_/status/1856508271248527715 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1666948"],"_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-68150bfa2f0c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1666948' first='Jordan' last='Ward'] is a talented QB out of Calera who made some really impressive plays for his team's offense last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ward is an impressive QB who uses his mobility and arm strength to make some awesome plays. He can bail out of the pocket/take designed runs for massive gains on the ground, and delivers accurate passes while under pressure and on the move. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was seriously impressed with how Ward could push the ball vertically. He simply flicks his wrist to launch some beautiful passes downfield, hitting his WRs in stride and placing the ball away from defenders nearly every drop-back. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out Ward's tape from last season below, I have a feeling he has a big season ahead of him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/yewh8jordan/status/1852586534156870011","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/yewh8jordan/status/1852586534156870011 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1637354"],"_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-68150bfa2f150"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1637354' first='Roman' last='Woods'] is an impressive up-and-coming 2028 QB out of Saraland who caught my attention this week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Woods sees the field really well and does a great job spreading the ball around and not putting it in harm's way. He's quick, decisive, and accurate, allowing him to quickly drop back, scan the field, and deliver passes to his WRs no matter where they're located. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm seriously impressed with Woods' confidence in the pocket- he doesn't let pressure affect him and can rip the ball through tight windows across the middle/downfield for big plays. That stood out to me a ton. As a freshman, he already has some of the skills you'd expect from a multi-year starter, and man, that's huge. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Throughout his freshman year, Woods completed 75% of his passes for 927 yards and 16 TDs in just 7 games. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Woods has some really impressive film from his freshman season you can watch below:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://youtu.be/XofnCSt2eeQ?si=ctMWOse1Pk9eBL0E","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtu.be/XofnCSt2eeQ?si=ctMWOse1Pk9eBL0E </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1666962"],"_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-68150bfa2f1e3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1666962' first='Cohen' last='Jones'] is a talented TE out of Chelsea who has become a key piece of their offense in several different ways. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jones is a physical blocker who can open up huge opportunities for his teammates. He's strong, quick on his feet, and plays with great leverage to drive back defenders and create wide lanes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jones was a go-to option for Chelsea's offense in the red zone. His size, hands, and route running frequently helped him gain separation and haul in big passes for scoring plays. I'm really impressed with how Jones uses his size to his advantage against smaller DBs, he's a reliable pass catcher you can count on to bring the ball down in contested situations.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jones had a productive sophomore year- he hauled in 15 receptions for 162 yards and 5 TDs, and opened up tons of opportunities with his blocking. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out some of Jones' film from last season down below, he's a talented TE 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/3/16503761/672fc1c7f464532f032bc514' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68150bfa2f4c7"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1666972"],"_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-68150bfa2f548"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1666972' first='Tristan' last='Roberson'] is an explosive back out of Baker who put together an impressive junior season last fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Roberson is a high-IQ RB who makes the most out of every carry. He's patient behind the line of scrimmage and does an excellent job waiting for rushing lanes to develop, and when they do, he has the athleticism to quickly turn upfield for big gains.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The most impressive part of Roberson's game has to be his toughness. He is a hard runner with great contact balance and requires multiple defenders to bring him down. It was super fun watching him run over and stiff-arm away defenders- he's a physical playmaker with the ball in his hands. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Roberson ended his junior year with 102 carries for 426 yards and 4 TDs in 9 games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Roberson has some great tape from last season that you can watch below:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17750264/6740c138230aa01fb3aa75de' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68150bfa2f588"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
