<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today we will be looking at 5 defensive players from Regis Jesuit that you will need to know for this week 0 matchup.

He is comfortable dropping into the box, he can disrupt plays at the line of scrimmage or bend the edge to sack the quarterback. In coverage, Filleman excels at reading a quarterback's eyes and making timely breaks on the football, often turning turnovers into scoring opportunities. His vision and closing speed make him a constant threat in zone coverage, while his tackling ability makes him reliable against the run. As one of the top safeties in his class, a strong performance in Week 0 could further elevate his status as one of the most complete defensive backs in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1641489"],"_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-689b72bcb3030"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At his size and strength, Ejuwa has the physical tools to control the trenches. He's effective at shedding blocks and meeting ball carriers near the line of scrimmage, limiting big gains. While he has aggressive hands, he will continues to develop, Ejuwa has already proven he can stuff the run and collapse gaps inside. When his number is called as a pass rusher, he has the power to disrupt the pocket and bring the quarterback down quickly. Against a disciplined Cherry Creek offense, his ability to anchor the interior will be crucial in preventing big plays and forcing long yardage situations. Ejuwa's presence could be a deciding factor in this defense's success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["983146"],"_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-689b72bcb307a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jones enters this season as a young, ascending talent ready to breakout. His offseason in the weight room has enhanced his physicality, allowing him to fly downhill and make strong tackles in run support. Jones has the range to patrol his half of the field while maintaining depth to prevent explosive passing plays. His instincts help him diagnose routes and react quickly, making him a reliable last line of defense. Against an offense capable of stretching the field, his discipline in coverage will be vital. Week 0 offers Jones the perfect opportunity to showcase his all around game and establish himself as a defensive leader for his team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1793894"],"_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-689b72bcb30c0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Burruss is a disruptive force with the versatility to impact both the run and pass game. His quick first step allows him to engage offensive linemen instantly, using leverage to shed blocks and collapse the pocket. Burruss can play two gaps effectively, closing running lanes and forcing offenses to adjust. His ability to pressure quarterbacks creates opportunities for turnovers in the secondary, giving his defense a momentum boost. In a matchup against a strong Cherry Creek offense, Burruss will be tasked with setting the tone early. If he can disrupt their rhythm, it could tilt the balance in Regis Jesuit's favor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1793910"],"_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-689b72bcb3105"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Defensive playmaker [player_tooltip player_id='1793910' first='Henry' last='Ruf'] may be under the radar now but he's poised to step into a much larger role this season. Ruf possesses the quickness to close on quarterbacks and force hurried throws, along with the tackling ability to bring down ball carriers in open space. His high motor and effort level help prevent opponents from stringing together big plays. Against a disciplined Cherry Creek offensive line, his ability to apply consistent pressure will be vital. If Ruf can establish himself early in the game, he could spark momentum for the entire defense. This Week 0 matchup gives him the platform to prove he's ready for the spotlight.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
