He is a high motor kid that runs extremely well and is quick twitched in the box while able to knife into the backfield and make plays outside the tackles. He is a rangy outside linebacker that shows he can cover downfield or in the flats and is a efficient open field tackler that packs a punch at the point of attack. Entering into our watchlist rankings, he's another prospect that should enter into our ranks in the next update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1665519"],"_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-688923cb2908d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tuala is a very twitchy and explosive edge rusher that has tons of upside and growth potential due to his frame, overall athletic abilities and length. He is violent off the ball and extremely technically sound especially for his age. He is a high motor kid that runs well and is very quick twitched off the edge, while showing he can win with both speed and power and make plays behind the line with ease. Heading into the Fall he is one of the best kept secrets along the defensive line in the 2028 class and should have a breakout sophomore campaign for University City. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1717765"],"_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-688923cb28f5e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The next great up and coming defender at Grant, he is part of a loaded 2028 class for the Pacers and one of the top defenders in his class across the region. During his first season last Fall, he made plays consistently in the open field, showed strong cover abilities and ball skills while having the ideal size and athletic build to play multiple positions out in space at the second level. He should have a breakout season this Fall and be a candidate to enter into our ranks in the next update. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1648605"],"_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-688923cb29120"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Spencer checks into our watch list rankings and is coming off a state title winning season for Carmel, one of the top small school teams in the state of California. He is a technically sound player with plenty of room for growth to his frame and will continue packing on weight through his next three seasons at the prep level. Look for the up and coming prospect to star on both sides of the ball for Carmel and be a name to note amongst the small school ranks for years to come. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1717762"],"_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-688923cb29004"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Victor Valley product that is the ideal size and athletic ability for the linebacker position and should find his home on the outside at the next level. He's a fluid mover in space with quick change of direction abilities and can make plays behind the line with backside pursuit and a high motor. He is seemingly a very high IQ player with a quick trigger that can sniff out screens/draws and will have plenty of varsity player experience heading into his senior year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
