Indiana 2028: Rising Sophomores Set for Big Offensive Roles

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're heading to the offensive side of the ball today to highlight a group of talented recruits that should be set for big roles this fall as sophomores.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1709524"],"_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-68754a981345e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Schott is gaining momentum quickly, and it's easy to see why. He's got the build you want at TE and moves really well for his size. He's quick enough to get open and does real damage with the ball in his hands, which tells me he's comfortable in space and confident after the catch. He can also hold his own blocking on the end of the line, and that's always a huge plus. On top of that, a 4.0 GPA keeps every door open for him and shows me he's disciplined off the field, too. I think the potential is sky-high.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1633725"],"_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-68769310cf8e1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Timmons stands out on offense with the way he naturally creates room to work. He has good length and knows how to use it to his advantage, especially when breaking off routes and keeping defenders guessing. He's smooth through his cuts and shows good balance, making it easy for him to stay in rhythm with the quarterback. He's not afraid to use his body to win matchups and looks comfortable catching the ball in traffic. I like the way he stays patient and lets routes develop, which helps him consistently get open.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1715158"],"_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-68769310cf956"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Roudebush looks good up front, especially for his age. He's got a good build that's well proportioned, which helps him stay balanced and strong through contact. He stays off his heels and plays with a solid base, making it tough for defenders to knock him back. His hands are violent and active, and he knows how to use them to keep rushers off him. I think he's loaded with potential, and if he keeps developing, he's going to be a name people hear a lot more about soon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1715115"],"_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-68769310cf9a6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jones already has a good build for his age, and that caught my attention right away. I saw him at some 7-on-7 this spring, and he showed good hands coming out of the backfield, which adds a lot of value to his game. He moves well in space and looks comfortable catching the ball, not something you always see in younger backs, so I'll be curious to see how year 2 goes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1715164"],"_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-68769310cf9f2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lipe is a young end-of-line TE who does a lot of the little things right. He's a willing blocker in the run game and doesn't shy away from contact. I like that he's being used to develop as a true TE. He's able to find soft spots in zones and help move the sticks. While he won't beat defenses over the top, he feels like a guy who understands what he does well. Lipe is someone to watch this fall to see how year 2 goes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1715171"],"_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-68769310cfa3b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rash is intriguing to me because he's a 2-way player with potential on both sides of the ball. Offensively, he's quick and has a good change of direction. He also has good vision and can find lanes before they close. Defensively, he's able to track the ball through traffic, take good angles, and make the stop. Simple things for me go a long way, and Rash seems like he's one of those guys who will do the job quietly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
