He can play a variety of different positions and has put up some big time numbers through the first few weeks of the season. Through three weeks, he has thrown for almost 500 yards and 5 touchdowns, rushed for another 300 yards and 4 touchdowns and has 1 receiving touchdown. He should continue putting up video-game like numbers over the course of the season and it will be interesting to see what schools come in and offer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1348542"],"_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-68cad39595407"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Perkins is one of the top offensive lineman available across Idaho and is a true road grader that can play a variety of position along the offensive line at the next level. He is a strong puncher that snaps out of his stance and creates immediate vertical push and shows inside hand placement, a consistent base and leg drive while able to finish blocks downfield at the first and second level. He is athletic enough to scrape to second level linebackers and pull across the line while staying patient in pass protection with kick/post efficiency. Overall, he is a very technically sound prospect that is going to be a late steal for a college program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1181676"],"_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-68cad39595488"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Weaver is a long and rangy outside playmaker that is physical with the ball in his hands and can get open downfield with good speed, a big catch radius and has strong hands/tracking abilities over the top. He shows he can make defenders miss in space and take fly sweeps/balls from the backfield and make plays from anywhere on the field. He is another prospect that has been flying under the radar to this point, but has plenty of intriguing tools and upside at the next level and will be another late steal for a college program and is a name to keep an eye on as we move closer to the first and second national signing days. Through the mid-point of the season he has put up 275 yards receiving and 2 touchdowns with 1 INT. </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":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Jaxson Brady","_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":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"195","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Bishop Kelly ","_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-68cad39595628"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brady can play any skill position on the offensive side and is another one of the top 2027 prospects on either side of the ball and is a no-brainer to enter into our rankings during the next update. He is a natural ball carrier, route runner and fluid athlete with strong hands and playmaking abilities downfield. Brady has put up some impressive numbers through the first three weeks of the season, posting 250 yards and 2 touchdowns and adding another rushing touchdown as well. He should be drawing plenty of next level interest and attention this off-season and provides position versatility at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["938928"],"_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-68cad3959537a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Engroff is having a terrific start to his Junior season campaign for this loaded Timberline squad and should be drawing plenty of college interest this off-season on either side of the ball. He is a downhill and physical back that shows a strong initial burst, contact balance through the hole and has cutback abilities and vision in tight windows. He is also a receiving threat out of the backfield and is a mismatch on linebackers in the flats while able to quickly turn upfield and gain positive yards from the backfield or in the slot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
