The standout WR from Doherty had 46 receptions for 736 yards and 10 touchdowns. Good size at 6'2 160-pounds. He has very good athletic ability due to very good jumping, acceleration, good speed, and change of direction. Good release at the line of scrimmage against both off coverage and the press jam. Good separation quickness due to his play strength, athletic ability, and mental processing. Noll consistently fights through contact during the route. He'll out run the DB or find an open void to exploit. Very good ball tracking and catching skills. Good body control and adjustments. He keeps both feet in bounds for sideline catches. Noll is also a productive blocker, creating lanes in the running game. I'm very excited to see how he continues to improve his game throughout the course of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["480318"],"_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-6887d0c6d2548"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams is a tantalizing prospect at the quarterback position. He measures in at 6'1 170 pounds. Last season, he threw for 1393 yards with 16 TDs, 4 INTs, 58% completion rate, 73 carries for 466 yards and 3 touchdowns. I believe Williams will take the next step in his development this season. He has very good athletic ability due to very good speed, acceleration, good change of direction, and balance. He uses this for very good scramble ability. Williams has a very good release, and very good throw power. Williams has good accuracy at all 3 levels, but I'm impressed with his deep ball. Very good touch and ball placement skills. Very good off script throws. He can contort his body and maintain accuracy. Very good throw on the run while maintaining fluid hips. Williams will go through his reads and find the open man. If everyone is covered, uses his scramble ability for the first down. Williams stays poised under pressure and has good pocket mobility. I'm very excited to see how Williams will do this season !!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1632731"],"_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-6887d0c6d2592"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Schimberg flew up the 2027 rankings board, and with good reason too! Measures in at 6'5 235 pounds, he is an elite blocker. Schimberg has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, balance, good speed, and change of direction. He is an elite blocker. He has elite strength, very good hand strength and hand placement. He uses this to control the DL with ease, creating lanes for the running back. Very good in line blocking, and run blocking on the move. Schimberg is a very physical player. Playing through the whistle, or pushing his RB for extra yards. As a receiver, he has good ball adjustment skills, and very good catching. He has strong hands to hold on after contact. Good separation quickness due to athletic ability and mental processing. Sits and finds the open void. He's a phenomenal blocker, with some great receiving upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1635098"],"_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-6887d0c6d25d8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yahn is a great safety who is gearing up for a productive junior season. He measures in at 6'0 162-pounds. Last season, he had 92 total tackles (52 solo, 40 assisted), 4 INT, 4 PD, and 1 FF. Yahn has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, change of direction, and good jumping. He's a twitchy DB. Very good mental processing by identifying gaps, or watching QB's eyes. He is consistently the first player to contact the ball carrier, even when he's in a deep zone. Good strength and is a hard hitter. Very good run support and very good tackling. He's aggressive and wraps up them up easily. In zone coverage, he shows off his very good reactionary skills, identifying the play, and attacks. Keep an eye on this young DB to make more moves this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1635063"],"_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-6887d0c6d261e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shirley had a fantastic season. Measuring in at 6'2 180 pounds, he had 126 total tackles (20 solo, 106 assisted), 3 TFL, 2 FF, and 2 FR. Good athletic ability due to his very good acceleration, lateral agility, good speed and jumping. Shirley has very good reactionary skills. He trusts what he sees, and attacks. He consistently watches the QB's eyes. He's a very good tackler. Whether it's helping his teammates finish tackles, or laying a big hit on a RB. Shirley is a good run stopper, plugging up gaps. Good in zone coverage as well. Shirley uses this athletic ability to achieve good range. I'm very excited to see how Shirley does this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
