His quick release, paired with efficient hip and shoulder rotation generates velocity and zip allowing him to make all necessary throws downfield and to the perimeter. Flashes good accuracy consistently delivering precise throws to all levels of the field both from the pocket and on the move. Advanced pocket awareness, consistently sensing pressure and maneuvering to open up second chance passing lanes. Holds 11 D1 offers despite limited varsity reps but expect him to climb the rankings as he gains more experience.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/20312147/66fc6206fc56e166ea35f922' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687f57930ba8f"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["427500"],"_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-687f57930bae0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Davis a well-built 6'0” 200 lb. RB with a great blend of power, vision and burst. He runs with excellent pad level and contact balance, consistently breaking tackles while maintaining forward momentum. His vision is advanced, showing the ability to press the hole, make sharp cuts, and quickly identify open running lanes. He's able to fit through tight spaces and explode through the second level with excellent open field elusiveness. Possesses the speed to pull away in the open field and the physicality to finishes runs through defenders. A natural hands catcher out of the backfield that creates easy separation from LB with strong route running. He offers three down value and versatility within any offensive scheme. Comes in as the top ranked 2028 RB in the state and #39 overall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1717666"],"_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-687f57930bb26"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lewis debuts in the rankings at #26 overall and is the third ranked LB in the 2028 class. A physically dominant 6'2” 210 lbs. hybrid LB/DE with 8 D1 offers, he combines his good size with his explosiveness off the snap. Quick to diagnose plays, he reacts instantly and closes space with urgency, making him a disruptive force both against the run and as a pass rusher. His violent hands and powerful punch allow him to shed blocks quickly, while his motor and physicality disrupts opposing offenses. Plus agility and chance of direction at his size gives him the versatility to line up across multiple fronts. A relentless defender who plays with an edge. Recruitment has exploded this spring with seven of his eight offers coming in. Possesses many of the key traits to be a national recruit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/22743676/6793276d685dc2377076e4e5' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687f57930bb49"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1136553"],"_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-687f57930bb87"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A gifted athlete that flashed at DB as a freshman for Serra but has the versatility and skillset to play multiple positions at a high level. Possesses natural coverage instincts in combination with his strong technique and footwork to stay in phase at all three levels. Fluid in the hips and smooth change of direction allow him to match WR movement and stay attached throughout the route. Plays with excellent pad level throughout his backpedal and coming out his break. His short area acceleration and transitional speed allow him to easily recover and make up ground with the ball in the air. Shows he can be a lockdown corner in press man or drop into zone coverage and play well with his eyes to anticipate ball location. Strong tackler that can break down and be reliable in one on one open field scenarios. Holds two D1 offers from Sacramento State and Miami and is ranked #35 overall and the #3 DB.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/22602994/6788474de16c1a3fb4b20b73' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687f57930bba7"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1659994"],"_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-687f57930bbe3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A lot to like about McCoy. He's a force on the DL combining his elite size with impressive athleticism and raw power at 6'5” 280 lbs. He plays with a strong base and heavy hands, consistently winning at the POA and disrupting blocking schemes. Difficult to block, he's able to overpower blockers with his size and natural strength to shed and free himself up to pursue the ball. His length and reach make him tough for offensive linemen to engage effectively, and he uses that leverage to control gaps and rush the passer. Shows the ability to penetrate and collapse the pocket, making him a consistent interior threat on passing downs. Flashes good bend, speed, and movement skills to react and redirect to the ball carrier. Holds three D1 offers to date but could develop into a national recruit on either side of the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/24066849/67821f863e50594e6f2df846' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687f57930bc00"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
