He's a big body tight end measuring in at 6'6 230 pounds. Good athletic ability due to very good jumping, good speed, acceleration, and solid change of direction. Zubeck has very good strength and is a very good blocker. He has very good hand strength and hand placement to control and steer the defender away. Zubeck gives maximum effort and runs downfield to block for his running back. As a receiver, he shows good release at the line of scrimmage, and can trickle out sneakily without the defense noticing. He finds soft spots in zones and exploits them. I'm very excited to see how Cannon continues his development as a tight end !</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1650110"],"_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-6889173009906"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Allison had himself a nice freshman year at Rangeview. The 6'0 140 pound wide receiver was a consistent contributor with 36 receptions for 432 yards and 3 touchdowns. He has good athletic ability due to very good jumping, change of direction, good acceleration, and speed. This kid has hops. He has very good release at the line of scrimmage, and excels against the press jam using his very quick feet. He has very good separation quickness due to his mental processing and athletic ability. He'll out run the DB at the top of the route, or sit in a void waiting for his QB. During the scramble drill, he runs back to this QB as well. He has good ball tracking skills and good catching. He uses his strong hands to pluck the ball out of the air and hold on during contact. Get ready for [player_tooltip player_id='1650110' first='Dontae' last='Allison'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1215742"],"_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-6889173009953"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Leal had an impressive 5 games for Chatfield. The freshman running back had 72 carries for 3 touchdowns with 4 receptions for 55 yards. Leal has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, change of direction and balance. Leal has a quick start and no wasted movements. He uses his very good vision to find holes, weaving through the defense for a big gain. Leal consistently gains yards after contact due to his balance and him bouncing around. He has powerful legs that churn forward. Very good inside and outside running. He turns the corner and uses his homerun speed to get free. One thing I was impressed of, was Leal's ability to block in pass protection. He gets dirty with it, and excels. He is a name to know moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["983147"],"_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-688917300999c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Boulton is a massive nose tackle. He measures in at 6'3 300 pounds, and accounted for 29 total tackles (11 solo, 18 assisted), 3.5 TFL, 1.5 sacks, and 4 QB pressures. Very good athletic ability due to very good lateral agility, acceleration, good change of direction and speed. He has elite quickness out of his stance, engaging with OL first. He uses his very good strength paired with very good hand placement and hand strength to rip through blocks and control the offensive line. Very good block shedder. He has a great get off speed. Very good bull rush to push the pocket into the QB getting him a sack. I've spoken about this before, but he holds the double blocks and splits them easily. Boulton is a sure fire tackler, not allowing the ball carrier away from his grasp. He will be dominating opposing offensive lines for year.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1578572"],"_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-68891730099e5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lucas had an impressive freshman season, helping lead his team to a victory over Mead in the 3A championship game this past winter. Last season, he threw for 646 yads, 5 TDs, 4 INT, 55.1% completion rate, 93 carries for 381 yards and 6 touchdowns on the ground. Lucas has good athletic ability due to his good acceleration, speed, and change of direction. This allows him to have good scramble ability once the pocket collapses. He has a good release and good throw power. Lucas is decisive with his throws, going through his reads to find the open man. He has good touches on his ball. Very good ball placement skills, making it easy for his receiver to catch. He stays poised I'm very excited to see how he continues his growth, after a championship season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
