With 9 total tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 1 sack and an impressive 6 interceptions, Dodge consistently finds ways to make game changing plays. His ability to read quarterbacks and anticipate routes makes him a threat every time the ball is in the air. He's physical in run support and can bring pressure off the edge when needed. Dodge's presence alone forces offenses to think twice about throwing in his direction, and his consistency has made him one of the most reliable defensive backs in the 2A ranks this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1940297"],"_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-68e6d63840472"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Munoz has emerged as one of the most instinctive playmakers in the small school circuit. With 14 total tackles, half a tackle for loss and an impressive 5 interceptions, he has shown the ability to anticipate passes and capitalize on mistakes. Munoz plays with discipline and strong fundamentals, allowing him to break on the ball with confidence. His football IQ and ability to stay patient in coverage have made him a dependable leader in the secondary. Munoz's knack for creating turnovers has changed momentum in several games this season, and his steady production shows he's one of the top defensive backs making a statement across 2A football.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1940347"],"_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-68e7094c724db"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Meade has quickly made a name for himself as a reliable ball hawk capable of locking down his side of the field. With 10 total tackles and 4 interceptions, Meade has demonstrated excellent awareness and quick reaction time in coverage. His ability to read the quarterback's eyes and close on the football has led to multiple momentum swinging plays this season. Meade isn't just a coverage specialist, he has also shown the ability to come up and make sound tackles in space when needed. His consistent play and leadership in the secondary have been a difference maker in his team's success, making him one of the most impactful defensive backs to watch in 2A competition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1940364"],"_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-68e7094c72529"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Baker is the type of defensive back every coach wants anchoring their secondary. With 26 total tackles and 3 interceptions, Baker combines physicality and awareness to make plays all over the field. His tackling ability stands out, as he's willing to step up and deliver in run support while still being a threat in coverage. Baker reads routes well and uses his instincts to jump passing lanes and create turnovers. His versatility allows him to play multiple roles in the secondary and he's consistently around the football. Baker's mix of toughness, leadership and playmaking ability makes him one of the premier defensive backs in small school 2A football.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1940611"],"_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-68e7094c72571"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brown is an emerging name in the 2A ranks, showing impressive range and awareness in coverage. With 7 total tackles, 1 tackle for loss and 2 interceptions, Brown has proven he can be both a physical defender and a takeaway threat. He has good anticipation and footwork, allowing him to stay in phase with receivers and close quickly on the football. Brown's ability to diagnose plays quickly helps him contribute in both pass defense and run support. His steady improvement and knack for timely plays have turned some heads and is the reason why he is a player who continues to gain recognition each week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
