With 17 total tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks, he consistently collapses the pocket and limits offensive momentum. Fay's awareness and pursuit have also led to a caused fumble and a fumble recovery, showcasing his ability to make game changing plays. He has been able to impose his will on the line and is creating pressure and forcing mistakes, using his motor and playing through the whistle. Fay continues to emerge as one of the more complete defensive linemen in 2A, combining physicality, discipline and leadership to anchor his team's defensive front.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1926131"],"_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-68dffa73007c0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Domingos has been a problem for opposing offenses, bringing relentless energy and having a knack for creating turnovers. With 9 total tackles, 2 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks, he's proven to be a dependable pass rusher who finishes plays with authority. What separates Domingos is his disruptive ability forcing 2 fumbles and recovering 2 himself, consistently shifting momentum in his team's favor. His instincts and reaction time allow him to diagnose plays quickly, while his strength at the point of attack helps shut down both the run and pass. Domingos has quickly established himself as one of the toughest trench players in 2A, commanding respect on every snap.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1632727"],"_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-68dffa730080d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Roybal has been one of the most reliable forces on the defensive front, bringing consistency and physicality every time he steps on the field. His 12 total tackles, 2 tackles for loss, and 2 sacks speak to his steady production, while his ability to generate turnovers with both a caused fumble and recovery highlights his awareness. Roybal combines a strong base with good technique, allowing him to control the line of scrimmage and disrupt blocking schemes. His leadership and discipline make him a tone setter for his defense, and his motor allows him to impact the game well beyond the stat sheet. Roybal is the type of player every coach wants anchoring their line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1313694"],"_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-68e425f973c34"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Few players have been as dominant on the defensive line this season as Batjargal. With 20 total tackles, 9 tackles for loss and 4 sacks, he's a constant threat to opposing offenses. His explosiveness off the snap and ability to shed blockers make him one of the most disruptive interior defenders in 2A. Adding 3 fumble recoveries to his resume shows his relentless pursuit of the football and ability to capitalize on chaos. Batjargal plays with intensity and control, using his hands effectively to create leverage and win matchups. His production and consistency have made him a must know name of this defense and his stock continues to rise each week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1938588"],"_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-68e425f973c97"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Uong has been quietly dominant, causing major problems for opposing offenses from the interior. His stat line 17 total tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, along with 1 forced fumble and 1 recovery, reflects his ability to impact every aspect of the game. Uong's strength and quickness allow him to penetrate gaps and disrupt plays before they develop. He shows great awareness in pursuit, keeping his pads low and maintaining leverage throughout contact. Uong's ability to command double teams opens up opportunities for his teammates but he still finds ways to get into the backfield and make key stops. His blend of power and discipline makes him one of 2A's top trench defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
