Cumbee is an athletic mover, has good hip fluidity, and has good ball tracking skills. Cumbee can be a press corner or off coverage. He is a versatile corner who can mesh with any scheme. Great upside, and he should showcase his talents this year, true D1 athlete and Power-Four upside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["402742"],"_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-688f346696252"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Peoples is an exciting cover corner with good instincts and lateral quickness to him game. He's had a good offseason, is a cornerback who is good at staying at a receiver's hip pocket and make a play on the ball. It'll be a huge season for Peoples. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["717909"],"_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-688f346696296"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Finau is an athletic player who has been spending time at the running back position this offseason at camps and showcases, but with a void at the quarterback position, he might find himself there. Either way, he's a playmaker and should have the ball in his hand where he can create, he'll be an important part of this offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1556027"],"_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-688f3466962d7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kulimushi is an athletic receiver and during the offseason, he performed well at the showcases and is an athletic mover with good lateral quickness and burst. He has good speed and can create separation. He could very well be the WR1 for the Miners. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Copper Hills Grizzlies<br>2024 record: 3-8</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 Key Games:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Friday, August 22- West Jordan<br>Friday, August 29- at Hunter <br>Friday, September 5- at Layton<br><br>Three must win games for Copper Hills, they need to get to a fast start and get momentum for the season. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 Hardest Games:<br>Friday, August 15- Northridge<br>Friday, September 12- at Mountain Ridge<br>Friday, September 26- at Westlake<br>Friday, October 10- Herriman</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's a difficult set of games for Copper Hills, and if they can find a way to win one of these games and secure their toss-up games, it could be a better-than-anticipated season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 Outlook:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>They have a shot at the postseason.

Laws is an excellent receiving back and showcases soft hands, and in space, will make defenders miss. He has good vision, the requisite speed, and finds ways to create. He'll be tasked to be an even bigger focal point. He'll look to get over 1,200 all-purpose yards. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Riverton Silverwolves<br>2024 record: 4-8</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 Key Games:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br>Friday, August 15- at West Jordan <br>Friday, August 22- Maple Mountain<br>Friday, September 12- Cedar Valley<br><br>These are three must-win games for Riverton; if they stumble in any of these games, it'll be tough for their season. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 Hardest Games:<br>Friday, August 29- at San Clemente (CA)<br>Friday, September 5- at Herriman<br>Friday, September 26- Mountain Ridge<br>Friday, October 3- at Westlake</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These are some tough games, if they can find a way to win one of these, it would help them, but it'll be tough.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 Outlook:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There's a lot of change within the program, and with all the moving parts, it brings some questions for the upcoming season.
