Tied for First in 4A with 12 sacks, he's established himself as one of the premier defensive linemen in the state. His 54 total tackles, 16 tackles for loss and a forced fumble demonstrate his complete impact at the line of scrimmage. Barrios Pablo combines power with quickness, consistently collapsing pockets and forcing quarterbacks into mistakes. His ability to clog the middle and shed blocks makes him nearly impossible to contain. Every snap, he commands attention and still finds a way to make plays. His dominance has been a key factor in his team's defensive success and his name continues to rise among Colorado's elite defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1969864"],"_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-68f68ec5b26f6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bath has been a revelation this season, breaking out as one of 4A's most productive defensive forces. With 38 total tackles, 19 tackles for loss, 12 sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries, Bath has done it all. His explosiveness off the edge allows him to beat blockers with ease and his motor never stops once the ball is snapped. Bath's ability to both pressure the quarterback and control the run game makes him one of the most well rounded defenders in 4A. He's the kind of player who demands a double team yet still finds ways to produce. As his confidence continues to grow, Bath is quickly making a strong case for a major jump in the rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1215659"],"_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-68f68ec5b276d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Richardson has emerged as one of the most disruptive linemen in 4A, consistently finding his way into opposing backfields. With 42 total tackles, 19 tackles for loss, and 10 sacks, Richardson's production has been elite. He plays with tremendous leverage and burst, exploding off the line to overwhelm blockers. His ability to create constant pressure has made him a major problem for offensive lines trying to establish a rhythm. Richardson's combination of speed, strength and tenacity gives him the tools to develop into a high level defensive prospect. Week after week, he continues to prove that he belongs among the state's top pass rushers, and his future looks incredibly bright as his dominance only continues to grow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1969881"],"_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-68f68ec5b2816"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rogers has been a steady force on defense, bringing pressure and physicality every time he steps on the field. With 45 total tackles, 12 tackles for loss, eight sacks and a fumble recovery, Rogers has been a consistent playmaker in the backfield. His blend of strength and explosiveness allows him to be a disruptive force up front and wreck plays before they can develop. Rogers is relentless in pursuit, using his technique and motor to finish plays and set the tone for his defense. His awareness and ability to shed blocks make him difficult to neutralize. Each week, Rogers continues to make an impact that goes beyond the stat sheet, proving himself as one of the most dependable defenders in 4A football.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1969891"],"_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-68f68ec5b288b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jeffery is quietly becoming one of the most efficient pass rushers in Colorado's 4A division. With 28 total tackles, nine tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks and a fumble recovery, he's showing an impressive knack for making the most of his opportunities. Jeffery plays with urgency and power, using his hands effectively to shed blocks and close in on the quarterback. His technique continues to sharpen and his production reflects a player on the rise. Jeffery's consistency and energy have made him a tough matchup for any offensive line. As he continues to stack performances, he's putting himself firmly on the radar of college scouts looking for relentless defensive linemen who can change a game's momentum.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
