2028 Indiana: Pass Rushers Making Early Noise

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're heading over to the sophomore class to highlight a group of talented pass rushers starting to make a name for themselves.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1854798"],"_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-68debb3d2f8dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fields is a physically impressive interior lineman who looks good. He's got strong hands and a quick first step. He's able to split linemen and get in the backfield. He's got long arms and can fend off a blocker just by extending. The way he can win at the point of attack is impressive, and I think it's something that helps him flourish as an upperclassman. He's got 12 tackles, 4 TFLs, 2 sacks, and a forced fumble to this point of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1924893"],"_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-68debb3d2f6db"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hirschy is a good-looking edge rusher who has the frame and size you want on the outside. He's strong and quick off the line. He looked good in year 1 and has built upon what he flashed as a freshman. He can get off blocks and bend around the edge. He's also good against the run and can clog gaps. He has 29 tackles, 8.5 TFLs, 4 sacks, and a deflected pass through 7 games</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1924915"],"_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-68debb3d2f775"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cottrell is a high motor player who doesn't take reps off and will fight through the whistle. He's able to get underneath the pads and get off a block. He can drop back into coverage like a LB when needed, but I like him creating pressure. He's creative and can find a few different ways to get home. Through the first portion of the season, he's put up 17 tackles, 6 TFLs, and 4 sacks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1581268"],"_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-68debb3d2f7f1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Manship has had back-to-back good years to start his career. He's improved since last year in all phases up front. He's stronger, bigger, a bit quicker, and has a better understanding of what he needs to do. He's able to split double-teams and wrap up ball carriers in tight gaps. His 73 tackles, 7 TFLs, 3.5 sacks, and 1 interception have him set up to finish strong.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1663238"],"_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-68debb3d2f869"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tioua is a fantastic athlete with a good range and a build that he's filling out. He can play both first and second levels and have success. His speed is good, and I think he can be a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, but he is also aggressive and strong enough to be a pass rusher. I like how he plays like each snap is personal. Through 7 games, he's got 26 tackles, 4 TFLs, 3 sacks, deflected a pass, and has a fumble recovery.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
