He plays with tremendous instincts, ball skills and is a excellent open field tackler that comes downhill quickly and can bang in the box while fluid in space. Engroff projects as a safety in college and the Timberline product recently shut down his commitment and took a PWO roster spot offer at USC last week. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/AustinEngroff/status/1976344251341603256","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/AustinEngroff/status/1976344251341603256 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1181763"],"_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-6903c3525a87c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top athletes across the state and a true dual-threat signal caller that can play anywhere on the field, Newman is having a stellar senior season and should make an immediate impact at the next level once he inks with a school. He has recently seen a uptick in his recruitment gathering offers from Carroll College and Rocky Mountain and should fit nicely in the Frontier Conference anywhere on the field. He has thrown for 1,300 yards and 9 touchdowns while adding another nearly 900 yards on the ground with 11 touchdowns and doubles his duty on defense as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Gunnar_newman_/status/1976300284277313848","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Gunnar_newman_/status/1976300284277313848 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["353794"],"_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-6903c3525a976"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Weaver had a breakout senior season for Mountain View and is going to be a very nice steal for a college team once he signs. He is a big bodied athlete with a hue catch radius, strong with the ball in his hands and mismatch nightmare on the outside. He could very well develop into a tight end with plus receiving skills and is a high upside kid that is just scratching the surface of his potential down the line. He has seen a uptick in his recruiting as well in recent weeks and picked up offers from Rocky Mountain and Minot State and would be a big time steal at the D2/NAIA level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/RigginsStoor/status/1976498536872046630","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/RigginsStoor/status/1976498536872046630 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /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":"Parker Leaf","_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":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"210","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"5926","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Owyhee","_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-6903c3525abb9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Leaf is another lengthy edge rusher with long arms, a big frame to add weight and should fit in as a true 4-3 defensive end in college with some nice upside and untapped potential. He is explosive off the ball with active hands to press the pocket and shows he can redirect quickly and collapse onto quarterbacks in a hurry. In the run game, he is stout with his hands and leverage, and shows quick block recognition and line reset abilities while also doing a nice job at getting underneath blockers, especially for his size. He is another hidden gem in this class across Idaho and picked up his first offers from Eureka College, Pacific and Ottawa just this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/parker_leaf/status/1971591278875066595","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/parker_leaf/status/1971591278875066595 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1603464"],"_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-6903c3525aa4e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wright is one of the top players in the state at his position and has been severely under-recruited to this point and is a FCS ceiling kid. He is a elite cover guy downfield, physical in the box when dropping down and has natural ball skills, return abilities and solid overall speed/recovery if beat. He displays fluid hips in transition, is a natural peddler and can excel both in man and zone coverage and plays well above his size. Wright holds offers from Montana Tech and George Fox and is another prospect that is a steal at the NAIA level and is going to make a immediate impact anywhere in that Frontier/Northwest conference. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/zayahwright/status/1980848462779544037","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/zayahwright/status/1980848462779544037 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1895455"],"_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-6903c3525a9e4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stoor is a still developing edge rusher but has the starting tools and frame for the edge position in college. He is a violent striker with quick hands and good initial first step explosion and knock-back, and shows some natural bend around the corner and hip fluidity when at the top of his rush. He also flashes a high motor, backside pursuit and the ability to eat up double teams inside if needed. He should fit nicely as a 4-3 defensive end in college and has seen an offer come in from College of Idaho and his commitment will be one to watch once the season comes to a close. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/RigginsStoor/status/1976498536872046630","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/RigginsStoor/status/1976498536872046630 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
