While doing my pregame prep, I caught a few glimpses of Xavier on tape. I thought he'd be a solid game manager, but he was much more than that. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm surprised by Xavier's passing volume, as well as his success. Most of his throws are relatively quick reads. Screens, short crossers, etc. Then, there were a small handful of great throws downfield. There were two deep throws in the first half that impressed me greatly. On top of that, Xavier is a capable runner and knows how to earn yards after contact. Super impressed with Xavier's all-around game! He raises the ceiling and floor of this team tremendously. </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":1888943,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1826303' first='Prosper' last='Enehiroana']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Mt.

About average size and athletic profile for a high school running back. When run plays are blocked well, he's able to hit the hole and earn what the defense gives him. Plus, there was one big second-half run where Prosper flashed great vision and good top speed. Still a pretty raw player, but the upside is there. One big thing that I'd like to see more of is power- Prosper needs to improve contact balance, and should learn to lower his shoulder every once in a while. </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":1888948,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Tyler Schell","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_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":"Mt.

Tyler did well against a solid Dow interior D-Line. Whenever Tyler run blocked, he did a good job keeping his pad level low and driving. Lots of double teams, and lots of instances where Tyler and a teammate drove a defender out of he play. He's also a solid pass blocker, but needs to work on his technique. Still over a year before most colleges start looking at Tyler- I'm confident that this sophomore will continue to improve in the next year. </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":1888950,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"William Garcia","_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":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Mt.

Though Senior William Garcia was impossible to miss. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Before anything, I want to highlight William's leadership. He was constantly talking and encouraging his teammates on the sidelines. After giving up a TD, I watched as William rallied his defense, brought them over to the TV, and said, "Come on, guys. Let's listen. Let's learn. We gotta help the offense". Always talking, always being positive, and one of the best vocal leaders I've ever seen.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Plus, he's quite good on the field. William was a big reason why Dow could not get anything going on the ground. He swarmed the run extremely well. Plus, a couple of times where he worked through a block. A little bit raw in pass defense, but I understand Mt. Pleasant doesn't usually face elite pass offenses like Dow. </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":1888950,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Zay McGinnis","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2495","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Mt.

It was a massive challenge going against Dow and their high-end passing offense. For one, he's a good athlete. Athletically, he's on par or better than just about all of Dow's receiving weapons. Zay was just a tad too slow to react at times, and it allowed Dow's receivers to earn separation. Again, on the bright side, Zay is a good athlete and has the upside to develop into a college prospect at DB/S. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There was also an excellent kick return from Zay. Makes me feel good about his offensive upside as well. Competitive kid, athletic, and looking forward to seeing what he can do this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
