Given his size, it'd be easy to dismiss him as a playmaker, but Kelley made things difficult on the Regina offensive line for a full drive, finding his way into the backfield and drawing not only a holding penalty, but disrupting the rhythm of second-year starting quarterback for the Regals, [player_tooltip player_id='1657101' first='Kyle' last='Tracy']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1242954"],"_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-68aa44b804ecb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Back for his senior year and his second year starting under center for the Clippers, [player_tooltip player_id='1242954' first='Conlan' last='Poynton'] is the reason Bollers isn't the starter yet for CCA.

With more of a look of an X-receiver at the high school level, Vice uses his long legs to power through-would be tackles. A long strider, too, Vice navigates space well to find a way through holes created by his offensive line and to maneuver through any open crevices available in the defense. With dual-threat Poynton under center and Seals on the outside, Vice should benefit greatly as a runner. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":1848883,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Mitchell Volz","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"250","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Clear Creek Amana","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68aa44b8050cd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The standout on the OL for the Clippers was Mitchell Volz. Like Bollers, Volz immediately catches one's eye as a physical specimen. A big body at left tackle, Volz stands at 6'4" and 250 pounds, and looks like he should get an opportunity at the collegiate level solely based off his size. He also showed flashes as a blocker, physically handling his assignment in pass-pro with one hand at different points in the evening.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A defensive linemen as well, he broke through the Regina OL for a TFL early in the evening. If Volz gets a mid-game break or two or reaches elite-level fitness, he could be a two-way star for CCA.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
