Xavien started with a great combine performance, posting marks of 4.84 40-yard dash, 4.44 shuttle drill, 8'5" broad jump, and a 7.59 L-drill. This quickness and agility transferred over to his reps, where he displayed his stop/start ability when going into his breaks and his sharpness when changing directions. Xavien's strong hands and great concentration also stood out, especially when making plays through contact. Spring stock-riser!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1625257"],"_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-685398d4c52c2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/jacksonbolding" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@jacksonbolding)</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Skutt Catholic's [player_tooltip player_id='1625257' first='Jackson' last='Bolding'] was another huge standout from the Combine Series and should push for varsity touches this fall. Jackson is an intriguing running back who plays with great balance/strength in his lower body with enough wiggle to shake defenders in the open field. Great burst as he hits his lanes with the acceleration to break away from defenses in the second level. Bolding also played linebacker for Skutt Catholic, where he showed a versatile skillset in which he could defend the run and drop into coverage. Definite two-way upside!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/22849465/6715bfaad9425254d0eb1ab6' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-685398d4c54d1"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1686583"],"_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-685398d4c5545"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/SamBeiser" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@SamBeiser)</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Here's a player that I will be monitoring closely this summer, as I believe he could push for serious playing time on the Bellevue West offensive line. Sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='1686583' first='Samuel' last='Beiser'] is coming over from Papillion-La Vista, where he flashed on their freshman team with an elite combination of size and power. Standing at 6'5", 300 pounds, Samuel checks out in the measurables department and has one of the higher ceilings in this class. If Samuel comes out firing, I could see some early offers coming his way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/23693824/67dda9c6e06661231b0cd0c5' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-685398d4c5576"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1591349"],"_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-685398d4c55ca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/chase_gable13" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@chase_gable13)</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There is a lot to like about up-and-coming sophomore safety, [player_tooltip player_id='1591349' first='Chase' last='Gable'], who posted impressive tape playing for Papio South's freshman team. Right off the bat, Chase impresses with his size at 6'2" and 160 pounds with room to continue filling out his frame in the weight room. He plays with a relentless motor that puts him in a position to make a play on any down, using his speed to close on the ball in a hurry. Once he reaches the ball-carrier, Chase does a good job implementing proper technique in his tackles. Very good eye for the ball and can flow naturally to it. We've seen a lot of good talent come out of Papio South recently and now Chase looks primed to join that list by the end of his prep career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/22849977/671f17e94c20845194a43733' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-685398d4c55f8"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1683776"],"_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-685398d4c5648"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/SecordWyat80489" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(@SecordWyat80489)</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Now we go across Papio to check out the Monarch's [player_tooltip player_id='1683776' first='Wyatt' last='Secord']. Wyatt has similar measurables at 6'2",175 pounds, and flashed tons of upside playing on either side of the ball. Defensively, Wyatt is a rangy safety whose speedy closing speed sends him firing downhill, where he is more than willing to step up and take on RBs in the box. He is a secure tackler who can use his size and power to drop opponents on initial contact. Secord also showed great coverage skills as he can lurk in his zone assignments, reading the QB's eyes before breaking on the ball and making a play on the pass. Offensively, Wyatt's size and route running allow him to line up anywhere along the line of scrimmage to take advantage of size mismatches. Great catch radius with strong hands. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/23677450/67c9ebdd6d319a2e016ed857' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-685398d4c5673"} /--> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Make sure to follow&nbsp;<em>@PRZ_OscarG</em>&nbsp;for more news on Nebraska and Iowa HS recruiting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
