His crisp footwork allows him to mirror routes, while his ability to drive on the ball makes him a constant threat to break up passes. Toth isn't just a cover specialist, he's physical at the point of attack and quick to support the run, bringing down ball carriers with authority. He excels at getting in and out of breaks, getting his hands on passes to disrupt timing. With his blend of coverage skill, physicality, and ability to take away his assignment, Toth is a defensive back capable of changing the momentum of a game. Expect him to be a name you hear often this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1772518"],"_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-689601e69c083"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mashkouri brings relentless energy off the edge, combining speed and effort to chase down plays from behind. He plays with a high motor, refusing to quit until the whistle blows and has the strength to set the edge, forcing runners back into traffic. His quick hands and lower body power allow him to shed block and make stops in the backfield before plays develop. Mashkouri's closing burst makes him a threat both against the run and in pressuring the quarterback. Coming into the year with a chip on his shoulder, he's ready to prove himself as one of the more disruptive edge rushers in the area. Expect him to be a consistent difference maker for this defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1776596"],"_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-689604b0b9faf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cullin is one of the most versatile players you'll find, impacting the game as a kicker, defender, and offensive contributor. Last season, he was remarkably consistent, converting 94% of his PATs while also pinning opponents deep with well placed kickoffs. His special teams ability sets the tone but he's also a proven playmaker on defense, coming away with two interceptions last year. Cullin's ability to contribute in multiple phases makes him an up and coming player. This season, with more opportunities on both sides of the ball, he has the chance to establish himself as a breakout name you must know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1776602"],"_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-689604b0ba046"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After battling through setbacks, [player_tooltip player_id='1776602' first='Julius' last='Olivo'] is ready for a bounce back senior season and to make his presence felt. He's a disruptive force who thrives at throwing off offensive rhythm, using quick hands and agility to shed blocks and attack the backfield. Olivo closes in on ball carriers quickly, often before plays have a chance to develop, creating chaos for opposing offenses. Healthy and motivated, he's eager to showcase his explosiveness across a full season. His combination of motor, strength and urgency gives him the tools to be a hidden gem on the defensive side.

He's quick to diagnose outside runs, forcing ball carriers to cut back into pursuing defenders. With an explosive first step off the snap, Thomson is a disruptive force and puts consistent pressure on opposing quarterbacks. His ability to disengage from blocks quickly allows him to secure tackles for loss and limit big plays. Thomson's well rounded skill set, stout run defense combined with pass rush potential, makes him a problem for any offensive line.
