This is how Skyridge ends the season: they get a late bye week to get right if they need it. It's possible they can come away winning two of these games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 Outlook:<br>Skyridge returns key players at multiple positions and are primed to make this year count. The passing game looks good, and they can lean on the run game. The defense has key parts that are coming back as well. It's not the easiest of schedules but Skyridge is a team that could make a deep postseason run if they catch fire.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Key Players:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["284195"],"_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-6893398b69a1f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sweetwyne is an exceptional quarterback. He possesses great size, he processes quickly, and he will get to his third read. He has a quick delivery, has great arm talent, with good velocity, his ball placement is good, and Sweetwyne moves well within the pocket, and is deadly on the ground. He's a true dual-threat quarterback and can pick apart a defense with his arm or with his legs. He does well with off-platform plays and is an exceptional athlete with great arm talent. He will be a Power-Four recruit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1569864"],"_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-6893398b69a81"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fountaine is an elite prospect with good size and a frame to grow into. He'll be a force on Thursday nights, but will be dressing on Fridays. He has a good delivery, exceptional arm talent, with good snappiness on the ball. His velocity is great and is interchangeable. He throws with anticipation, has good ball placement, and throws his receivers open. He has a quick processing speed, and he navigates the pocket well. He'll be a Power-Four recruit and is a name to know, now. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1556025"],"_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-6893398b69acd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tahi is an elite runner and transfers into Skyridge. He is set up for a huge season. He is a patient runner with good vision, moves well laterally, and has good burst and overall speed. He's a great, athletic mover, and once he gets to the second level, he showcases his speed and gets to the edge, and he is gone for home. He has soft hands and can be used as a weapon in the receiving game; he's a complete three-down back and is primed for a huge season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1689331"],"_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-6893398b69b14"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bennett will be the change of pace back and has good hands and is elusive in the open field. It's possible he'll be used in the return game, where he can create in space. His upside includes 500 all-purpose yards this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1683662"],"_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-6893398b69b5b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sanders transfers into Skyridge and has already built a rapport with his QB1. He has great size, moves well, is light on his feet, brings an array of release packages to stymie any attempt at being pressed, and is strong at the catch point. He's an athletic mover and has elite potential. He has a clear pathway to being the leading target earner in the room. He'll have two full years of varsity film to put together to garner the attention of multiple Power-Four programs.

He has good speed, is shifty in the open field, and just finds ways to make a play when the team needs it. He's a versatile receiver and is primed for a good year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1565257"],"_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-6893398b69be6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fyans is the leading returning receiver in the room. He is a versatile receiver who will likely slide into the slot this year. That frees up the offense, allowing him to work off the line and avoid press coverage. With the free release, he can easily get open and be a chain-moving asset, and he has the speed to win over the top. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["944656"],"_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-6893398b69c2b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gilfrod is an elite cover corner and his tape is impressive, but he is even better in person. I've seen him at showcases, 7's events, and private sessions, and he is a player who always stands out. Exceptional hip fluidity to stick to his receiver, is twitchy, has good speed, and showcases good quickness and burst. He tracks the ball well, makes a play on the ball, and has good physicality. He can play off or be a press cover corner. He is an elite prospect and will be a multi-year Power-Four starter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1565258"],"_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-6893398b69c71"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Oeser is a defensive lineman who is good off the line, moves well laterally, has violent hands and showcases good physicality in his game. He can be an interior rusher and will hold up to bigger linemen that outweigh him 40+ lbs, and can be an edge rusher and has the hip bend to get around the edge. He can flirt with double-digit sacks this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["342502"],"_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-6893398b69cba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kunz is an exceptional backer who has great instincts. He is explosive off the line, has good lateral quickness, can shed his blocks and disengage with ease, and has good closing speed. He is an all-around backer who can be used as an on-ball attacking rusher or drop back into coverage and disrupt passing lanes. He is primed for a fantastic season and continues to garner offers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1565259"],"_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-6893398b69d01"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Parker is poised for a breakout role in the secondary this year. He is a versatile player who can cover a slot receiver, be a box safety, and is best as the deep safety. He showcases a good range, has the necessary closing speed, and has the ball skills to change the momentum of a game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1634892"],"_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-6893398b69d45"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Simmons will be asked to take on a bigger role this year, and he's shown to be a good off-ball backer and does well in space.

He'll be needed on the front line. He shows good strength and physicality in his game. He plays well against the run and advances his positioning. He has good size and has a frame that he'll continue to grow into. For Skyridge to be a force on the defense, he'll need to be an integral part of the defensive line unit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That was our look at Skyridge</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
