Runs through contact effectively, can be gone if he finds a crease and has great top-end speed and juice. Very good change of direction. Bounces off would be tackles and can elude tacklers in space. Linebackers have a tough time bringing him down just due to his running style. Strong running back with a strong pair of legs, took over the game completely and is a key name that defenses have to account for. Had 18 carries for 197 yards and three touchdowns.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1314812"],"_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-68e176d9c0da4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Very talented defensive back who the staff is excited about, can break on the ball effectively. Smooth out of a back pedal, very feisty hands to break up passes, times the ball well to make deflections at critical moments. Physical and tough, has the mindset and plays with confidence and swagger. Can be a hard-hitting thumper against the run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1284258"],"_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-68e176d9c0e6f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gets the job done, has very good use of hands and gets great vertical push. Runs his feet on contact and has good inside hand placement, can latch on effectively and drive defenders off the ball. Good interior linemen who can fire forward to the second level. Fires forward and has good first-step quickness, needs to get in a little bit better shape and will be very good once he does.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401927"],"_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-68e176d9c0f3a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of two tough running backs in Male's offense who is very good. Breaks through contact and has solid speed, displays good vision and patience to follow blocks. Can bounce off tackles and still stay on his feet, and runs with great contact balance. Has a chance to succeed, is much bigger than Talbert, and finishes forward on contact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
