--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Parks is one of the premier players in the class.  The 6'3" 297 pound defensive tackle is so quick off the ball and moves tremendously well for his size.  Pushes the center right back into the QB on the bull rush.  Uses his hands well when rushing the passer as he definitely brings pop getting after the QB.  Throws blockers to the side with his hands and then pursues the ball in the run.  Technically sound player vs both the pass and run with elite physical tools.</p>

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Demoss is a 6'5" 215 pound edge rusher that has a strong and athletic build with long arms.  Burst off the ball and is physical with his hands against offensive lineman.  Pursues well in the run game outside of his area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The DePaul Prep 6'3" 250 pound defensive tackle is a load!  He has versatility being able to slide outside as well taking snaps at DE.  As a three technique he is consistently putting pressure on the QB up the middle.  Brings down quarterback with violence.  Solid use of hands and understands angles.  Eyes are always up field reading what is going on.  Also plays some tight end where he is tough to bring down when he has the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rice is an interesting EDGE prospect with his speed and plus pass rush ability.  He bats passes down, and hits the QB hard!  Disciplined vs the run and plays with a very high-motor.  Can play standing up or with hand in dirt.  Also plays TE on offense a little and is a hooper as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This Morgan Park defensive lineman goes 6'3" and 300 pounds.  The defensive tackle is at his best against the run where he consistently stuffs.  Takes on blockers and can make tackles with his long arms reeling them in.  As a pass rusher it is mostly bull rushes putting pressure on the pocket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Intrigued with this 6'2" 230 pound defensive end.  Seems most of highlight tape was JV, but he definitely pops on film.  Runs very well and hits hard.  Consistently pursues the QB putting pressure on them.  Bends around the edge.  Disciplined vs the run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph

vs the run on the interior.  Sheds blockers.  Also played some right tackle as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

goes 6'0" 295 pounds as a defensive tackle. Takes on block and gets off to make tackle. Sheds blocks well. Very good vs run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
