He plays fast, is a very efficient tackler in space and closes quickly while exploding through contact and is extremely physical at the POA. He fly's around and can make plays outside the tackles, has quick COD and lateral movement abilities while able to win with both speed and power when rushing off the edge. Overall, he is another no-brainer next level prospect that should have plenty of D2/NAIA+ schools come his way through his senior year for Nampa. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1612027"],"_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-683b190dde993"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Nampa Christian product is a highly instinctual and twitchy defensive back that shows tremendous ball skills, breaks quickly to the ball in the air and is a very good tackler out on the edge. He shows he can come up in run support and make plays near the LOS and plays with good physicality and toughness. In coverage, he has fluid hips in transition, recovery speed if beat over the middle and shows plus COD abilities as well in man coverage. Overall, he is a very technically sound player that can play either safety or corner in college and should draw plenty of D3+ interest. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1207424"],"_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-683b190ddea17"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Banuelos is one of the top '27 outside linebackers across Idaho, and is coming off a tremendous second season campaign for Emmett. He has the frame at 6'2" to continue packing on weight over the next two seasons and is stout against the run while also showing some man cover abilities as well in the flats. He shows he can rush off the edge, is a natural bender and wins with speed and quick use of hands against bigger tackles and collapses the pocket quickly when pass rushing. He also shows good pursuit backside and a good initial strike when coming up and setting the edge while having a strong understanding of run fits/game flow and is seemingly always around the ball. </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":"Kingston Critchfield","_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":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"280","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Eagle","_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-683b190ddeae6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Critchfield projects as a interior guy at the next level, and is without a doubt a name to note as we release our next 2026 rankings update here soon. He is a true interior mauler that snaps out of his stance, has a strong punch at the POA and shows he can create immediate vertical push with a solid base and downfield blocking abilities. He shows he can pull across the LOS, scrape to the second level when combo blocking, and shows good body control and balance through out his block progressions. Another prospect that should draw D3 interest/offers, the Eagle product should be inline for a huge Senior season for what should be a stellar rushing attack. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1614104"],"_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-683b190ddeb79"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">OKelly is another no-brainer to enter into our rankings in the next update and is one of the top players across the state heading into this Fall. He has good length for the position and the ability to cover ground in a hurry with closing speed and pass rush abilities. His sideline-to-sideline play stands out on film and he displays elite cover abilities for his position while showing he can play either inside or outside linebacker. He is a sound tackler that takes the proper angles in space while also showing he is a true banger in the box while able to get off blocks quickly, bend around blockers and make plays behind the LOS. He has tremendous natural instincts to make negative plays and holds a very high floor at the next level with abilities to make a immediate impact on a roster. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
