The 5'8 150-pound scatback has 137 carries for 885 yards and 15 touchdowns, with 26 receptions for 176 yards. He has 333 kick return yardages, and 133 punt returns. He has very good athletic ability due to elite acceleration, very good speed, change of direction and good jumping. As a running back, he has very good vision and an explosive quick start. Weaves through the defense with ease. As a receiver, he has very good release and uses his quick feet to defeat press at the line of scrimmage. Very good separation quickness, consistently outrunning his defender. Very good catching and very good ball tracking skills. He has very good body control and adjusts to the ball in flight whether it is high, low or behind him.  Bunton gets yards after the catch due to his home run speed and runs free. I love watching his film, and he continues to impress.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1578572"],"_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-68fc02354560a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lucas has been having a solid sophomore season going 69/118  for 1053 yards for 58.5% completion rate, 6 TDs, and 2 INT. The 5'11 150-pound passer has good athletic ability due to good speed, acceleration, and change of direction. This in turn allows him to get good scramble ability and escape the pocket. Under pressure, he'll roll out and maintain good accuracy down field and on the run. Very good release and good throw power. Lucas has very good ball placement skills. He'll throw it in stride with his receiver, or right on the money. Very good touch on his throws as well. Lucas has good pocket presence as well. I really like Lucas' decision making and how he takes care of the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1129989"],"_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-68fc023545666"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jantz is leading all sophomore quarterback with passing yards.

Through the air, he has 7 receptions for 182 and 4 touchdowns. 30 total tackles (8 solo, 22 assisted), 5 TFL, 1 FR. This dual way stud has good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, change of direction, good balance, and speed. Very good vision and weaves through the defense but mixes power in as well. He has very good jump cuts and will pivot into uncovered gaps and punish the defense for a big gain. Very good inside runner. He follows his blockers and gets free. As a linebacker, he brings the same tenacity to the defensive side. He plays with fire and very good competitive toughness. Plays through the whistle, and consistently helps his teammates finish tackles. Keep an eye on him as he continues to develop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1346446"],"_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-68fc023545716"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mozer measures in at 6'1 145-pounds and has 21 receptions for 362 yards and 3 touchdowns. He has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, jumping, and good change of direction. He excels at being a possession receiver. He has good release at the line of scrimmage against the press jam and off coverage. Very good separation quickness due to his athletic ability and play strength. He'll outrun the defender or out juke him to get open. He will also find through the contact during the route to get open. Mozer is a smart player, he also finds voids in the zone to exploit. Very good ball tracking and catching. Consistently comes down with the catch. He's a great receiver who is further along his development track, and I believe he will be a name to know going forward.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
