He is an aggressive on-ball backer who shows good traits and cleans up the play, and finds himself near the ball carrier on most plays. He has good reactionary skills and is a player who shows good speed and strength. He's a player who has exciting traits that will garner interest in recruiting. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1690712"],"_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-68e5b8821fba6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Naeata has good size and physicality in his game.

He shows good lateral quickness and can get to a closing gap with ease, and he survives initial contact and is a player who shows good physicality and contact balance. He will make a defender miss in close proximity, and is a running back who has the speed to get to the edge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1692821"],"_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-68e5b8821fbe1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Logan is being used as a running back this year to find ways to get on the field, and he's turned out to be the best offensive weapon on the team. He's taken snaps at quarterback this year, and that will be his primary position, and he'll take over as the signal caller next year. He's been a good running back, but he's an even better quarterback, and next year will be his breakout. Everything he's done this year is just a primer for what's to come. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That was our look at risers in the 2028 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
