With 56 total tackles, an impressive nine tackles for loss, two sacks and three fumble recoveries. Chase consistently finds ways to swing momentum in his team's favor. His vision and football IQ allow him to diagnose plays quickly, while his athleticism enables him to cover ground sideline to sideline. Chase isn't just a steady tackler, he's a dominate presence who thrives on creating turnovers and living in the opponent's backfield. His speed, physicality and relentless pursuit make him a nightmare for offenses to account for. With his production and playmaking ability, Chase is firmly cementing his place as one of the top linebackers to know in the 1A ranks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1922498"],"_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-68db4187b7634"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hicks brings versatility and toughness to the heart of his defense, proving to be a well rounded linebacker capable of impacting every phase of the game. With 49 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and a sack. Hicks has shown he can shed blocks and finish plays in the run game. Equally impressive is his ability to drop into coverage, where he has already grabbed an interception, showcasing strong instincts and reliable hands. His violent hand usage at the point of attack makes him difficult for linemen to contain and his awareness in space adds another layer to his skill set. Hicks' ability to defend the run and contribute in coverage makes him a player you must know and one of the more complete linebackers in 1A football this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1891767"],"_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-68db4187b767e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Eves continues to raise his stock as one of the most disruptive defenders in small school football. His production speaks volumes, with 45 total tackles, five tackles for loss and an impressive four sacks already this year. Eves thrives at creating pressure, often finding himself in the opponent's backfield before plays can develop. His quick first step and relentless motor make him a constant threat to quarterbacks, while his tackling ability ensures ball carriers rarely escape his grasp. Eves' combination of athleticism and aggressiveness has positioned him as a linebacker that offenses must account for on every snap. With his performance this season, Eves has started to gain traction as a potential D3 or even D2 recruit, proving he belongs on radars beyond the 1A level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1922501"],"_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-68db4187b76c4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Few linebackers in 1A can match the versatility that Ibarra brings to the table. He has tallied 45 total tackles and three tackles for loss but what sets him apart is his ability in pass coverage, already securing three interceptions this season. Ibarra demonstrates great instincts when dropping back, reading the quarterback's eyes and positioning himself perfectly to disrupt passing lanes. At the same time, he's physical enough to step up and stuff the run, making him a reliable presence against both phases of the offense. His blend of coverage skills and physicality makes him a rare talent at the linebacker position. Ibarra's playmaking ability ensures he will remain a key defensive weapon and a name to watch as the season progresses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1922506"],"_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-68db4187b7709"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bouet is emerging as a force in the middle of his defense, creating problems for offenses with his physicality and nose for the football. He has totaled 43 tackles, five tackles for loss and a sack, while also forcing a fumble that highlights his ability to deliver big hits. Bouet thrives as a run stuffer, using his instincts to quickly fill gaps and shut down plays before they can develop. His sideline to sideline range allows him to chase down ball carriers, while his physical style of play sets the tone for his defense. Bouet is the kind of linebacker who brings energy and toughness on every snap and his ability to consistently impact games makes him one of the rising defensive standouts in the 1A division.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
