<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 2 is aleady in the books and today we're highlighting some defensive recruits who made the most of the week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1862988"],"_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-68b49c67cf4b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Emedobi could easily be one of the quickest risers in the class. He's got a good build and first step. He dominated Huntington North Friday night and had one of those games you raise an eye at. His 10 tackles, 6.5 TFLs, 1.5 sacks, and forced fumble on the night were all impressive numbers-wise, but it's how he looked doing it. He looked a step ahead, bigger, and faster than everyone out there. Keep an eye on Emedobi moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1862999"],"_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-68b49c67cf538"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Handel was all over the field on Friday and helped shut down the Noblesville offense. He made quick reads, didn't get greedy, and stayed in position. He finished the night with 12 tackles, 2 TFLs, 1 sack, a deflected pass, and forced a fumble. I liked what I saw on the field and how he handled everything that they threw at him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1863002"],"_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-68b49c67cf5a7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bain is a versatile player who is quickly finding a place on the field. He's thick for his size and can play in the first and second levels. He was a tackling machine on Friday night and seemed like he was in on every play. He's got a good motor and never took a play off from what I saw. His 15 tackles on defense were big, but he didn't stop there. He carried the ball 15 times for 106 yards and scored 2 TDs. Bain is a young name to keep an eye on with how much he's doing already.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1614392"],"_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-68b49c67cf60f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Neuhouser has been one of the most productive linebackers in the state through the first 2 weeks. He's confident in what he sees, has a good frame, and the strength to make things happen. Carroll may have fell short on Friday, but Neuhouser's 15 tackles led the way. He has 25 solo tackles through 2 weeks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1265523"],"_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-68b49c67cf674"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Earvin is quickly putting everything together on the field and he was lights out on Friday. He's got good footwork and a clean backpedal. He can turn and run with ease. His 9 tackles led the game. He then added a TFL, interception, and recovered a fumble. Hobart's defense slowed down Portage mosrt</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
