The Orange Lutheran product shows natural instincts, ends routes over the middle and covers a ton of ground quickly with long strides and closing speed. He is fluid in coverage, shows he can peel off in zone coverage and baits quarterbacks into poor throws over the middle. He is a true middle of the field third level defender that can cover sideline to sideline and is a no-brainer P4 caliber player that should explode onto the scene this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1717670"],"_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-68895a17da1d8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sims is one of the top 2028 corners in the state and already holds multiple offers from Sac State, Arizona, New Mexico, UNLV and Utah. He is coming off a breakout freshman season campaign before transferring to Millikan where he showed elite cover abilities in man coverage and displayed twitch and COD in tight windows. Overall, he is a very good athlete and has the ideal length and ball skills for the position and holds tons of untapped potential and upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1639978"],"_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-68895a17da23b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Burks is already one of the top corners in the state regardless of class and really exploded this off-season. He is a long and rangy player with natural ball skills, excels in man coverage and has a quick trigger on the perimeter when coming down in run support. Burks shows he is very fluid in transition and has recovery length and speed and is a technically sound player especially for his age. He already holds offers from ASU, Cal, North Carolina, Sac State and UTSA.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1717695"],"_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-68895a17da2d2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Edison-Stockton standout could play either outside linebacker or strong safety and is very active in the run-game with a quick trigger and excellent open field tackling abilities/closing speed. He is a high motor player that is seemingly always around the ball and shows he can apply pressure off the edge and close quickly into the backfield. His position versatility and ability to help in run support make him a very intriguing prospect and he is without a doubt one of the top players at his position across Northern California.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1717705"],"_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-68895a17da319"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Saulter is a very hard hitting and explosive defensive back prospect that can play either safety or corner and has the frame to continue packing on weight/muscle over the next three years. He shows outstanding ball skills when attacking at the POA with return abilities and is physical in press coverage and shows good twitch when breaking to ball carriers without taking false steps. In run support, he shows he can take on bigger perimeter blockers to make plays behind the LOS and is very explosive and dynamic with the ball in his hands. He currently holds offers from Colorado State and Delaware State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
