<p class="text-gray-700">On the middle school gridiron, a standout running back by the name of [player_tooltip player_id='1196450' first='Carmelo' last='Foendoe'] is making waves with his unique blend of power and agility. Carmelo's imposing dimensions and athletic build give him a high ceiling, commanding attention every time he touches the ball. With a knack for bouncing to the outside, he forces defenders to overcommit before maneuvering around them, often delivering devastating stiff arms that shrug off contact. Arm tackles simply aren't enough to bring this powerhouse down.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Offseason 7v7 sessions revealed another layer to Carmelo's game; impressive hand skills that hint at his potential as a versatile playmaker. This dual-threat star, known for his brutish defensive play, is proving to be an offensive force, blending raw power, speed, and instinct to dominate as a running back.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1288829' first='Zion' last='Lytle'] is electrifying defenses with his blazing speed and elusive playmaking. An absolute burner, he took a sweep for a 40-yard touchdown as he glided untouched to the end zone last season. His quickness forces defenders to take poor angles, unable to keep up with his crafty, shifty moves. Despite his smaller frame, Zion's elusiveness makes him a constant moving target, weaving through traffic with the ball in his hands.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Zion can carve through defenses without losing a step, maintaining his speed even in tight spaces. His potential is thrilling, and coaches are eager to see what he'll unleash once his growth spurt hits. With a name like Lytle but a game anything but small, Zion is already leaving his mark as a crafty, high octane running back.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1606612' first='Damour' last='Scott'], a smaller middle school running back with immense upside, is a dazzling playmaker who shines in the open field. His knack for making defenders miss is uncanny, weaving through traffic with slick moves that leave opponents grasping at air. Even when caught in a gang tackle, Damour's remarkable ability to slip free and emerge sprinting downfield sets him apart as a dynamic threat. Damour's elusiveness and open field vision mark him as a rising star with the potential to carve up defenses for years to come.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1662420' first='Ah'zir' last='Long'] is a versatile RB that showcases his prowess by adeptly navigating between the tackles, with a keen eye for spotting holes as they open. His ability to make quick, decisive cuts and turn upfield in a flash makes him a slippery threat for defenses. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>While his offensive skills shine, Ah'zir's impact on the defensive side is equally promising, with the potential to be a lockdown defender in the secondary in the near future. Ah'zir's offseason training will boost his open field speed, giving this dual-threat talent another tool in his arsenal.</p>
