He brings an explosive element with the ball in his hands and has the ability to create mismatches on the perimeter. Hurtado shows strong hands, confidently plucking passes out of the air and securing catches through contact. His vision and elusiveness make him dangerous in the open field, and he's the type of athlete who can take a short pass the distance. With his ability to be a home run threat makes Hurtado a name to track closely as he's expected to become a key offensive weapon down the road.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1654027"],"_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-6883bda1727c6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tecle enters the season with momentum after an impressive offseason on the 7v7 circuit. His smooth route running and suddenness out of breaks help him create consistent separation, while his hands and body control allow him to haul in catches in tight windows. Tecle's wide catch radius makes him a reliable option in traffic and a dependable target in contested situations. With an expanded role on the horizon, he has all the tools to become a go to receiver in this offense. His offseason work ethic and polish as a route runner gives him a strong foundation heading into the year. Tecle could be a breakout candidate this season and moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1651854"],"_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-6883bda172812"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tomsick is one of the most electric wideouts in the 2028 class. With a track background and 40 times in the 4.4- 4.5 range, he brings top end speed that can change games in an instant. Tomsick excels at stretching the field and turning short gains into explosive plays. He showcases strong hands, often coming down with contested or difficult grabs, and he's dangerous in the open field being able to make the first defender miss and fast enough to run away from the rest. Expect him to be a featured weapon in this offense this season. If he continues his upward trend, Tomsick could emerge as one of the premier receivers in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1262926"],"_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-6883bda172868"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Standing at 6'3, Braddock has the physical tools to become a matchup nightmare on the outside. He uses his length and athleticism to win at the high point, giving quarterbacks a big catch radius and a reliable red zone target. Braddock has shown flashes of dominance and is looking to build off last season's success with a breakout year. He's worked to improve his speed and agility, which, paired with his size, makes him a difficult cover for defensive backs. If he continues to develop physically and refines his route running, Braddock has the potential to be one of the top pass catchers in the 2028 class. Coaches and scouts should be watching closely.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["983689"],"_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-6883bda1728c5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Griggs may not have the prototypical size at 5'4 but he more than makes up for it with heart, versatility, and football IQ. A returning varsity contributor, Griggs can line up in the slot, motion into the backfield or be used as a gadget player to keep defenses guessing. He thrives in short yardage and third down situations, consistently finding ways to move the chains. His quickness and low center of gravity allow him to navigate through traffic and be slippery enough to make defenders miss. Griggs plays with a chip on his shoulder and brings toughness to every snap. He's a player you can't measure by size alone and he is looking to prove it every time he touches the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
