<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Part two of North Carolina's next generation of rising talent in the 2031 class is a nice group of athletes who are hard players to contain on the gridiron. They are players that stand out each and every time they get the chance to and they shine every time the opportunity presents itself. Let's take a glance!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1707906"],"_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-6871576c3d241"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1707906' first='Nick' last='Harris'] is one of those type players that makes teammates better around him based off of his play alone and his leadership by his actions. His play on the gridiron is special and separates him from others in North Carolina in the 2031 class. He is a name to know and follow for the next few years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1707908"],"_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-6871576c3d2d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1707908' first='Joel' last='King'] has great size and moves well with his size.

He is big and physical yet very elusive and has the agility to break loose and make defenders miss. He reminds me of a young Lindale White from USC back in the day who went on to have a few good years in the NFL with the Titians. He really impressed me with his size and running style. He is going to be very special.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1703781"],"_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-6871576c3d3c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1703781' first='Joshua' last='Blanks'] is a tremendous player in the trenches.

He has a great running style, and I believe he's going to be very special in the state of North Carolina. He is continuing to develop and it's clear the type of player he is and can be with the product he puts on the field. He is one to really know now because he's rising up to a star-studded career already!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
