With 30 total tackles, 2 tackles for loss and an eye popping 6 interceptions, Jordan has proven to be one of the most dynamic playmakers in 3A football. What sets him apart is his ability to turn defense into offense, 3 of his interceptions have gone back for touchdowns and he's added a fumble recovery for another score. His awareness, range and closing speed make him a constant threat to take the ball away. Jordan's leadership and big play ability have made him one of the most feared defensive backs in 3A and a true difference maker for this defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1940983"],"_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-68e7ff9083861"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Warner is the definition of a ball hawk, consistently finding ways to impact the game from the back end of the defense. With 15 total tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 1 sack and 4 interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown, Warner has emerged as a game changer. His ability to disguise coverages and anticipate throws makes him difficult for quarterbacks to read. He's physical in run support and has shown the versatility to rush off the edge when needed. Warner plays with confidence and poise, always positioning himself to make momentum shifting plays. His instincts and football IQ have turned him into one of the most respected defensive backs in 3A competition this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1940993"],"_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-68e7ff908390b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lozano may have only appeared in two games this season, but his production has been nothing short of incredible. In limited action, he's recorded 3 total tackles and an impressive 3 interceptions, showcasing elite anticipation and quick reaction time. Lozano's ability to read quarterbacks and jump routes makes him a threat every time the ball is in the air. Even with a small sample size, his performances have been impactful enough to draw attention. Lozano's athleticism and timing allow him to make difficult plays look routine, and his natural ball skills set him apart. If he continues at this pace, he will quickly become one of the most talked about defensive backs in the small school ranks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1941005"],"_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-68e7ff90839ac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Robles has been the heartbeat of his defense, combining physicality and playmaking ability at a high level. With 40 total tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and 3 interceptions, Robles has shown he can impact both the passing and running game. He's also forced a fumble, proving his knack for being around the football and creating turnovers. Robles brings toughness to the secondary and isn't afraid to come downhill and make plays at the line of scrimmage. His combination of leadership, consistency, and big play ability has made him a cornerstone of his defense. Robles' reliability and motor make him one of the top all around defensive backs in the 3A division this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1941017"],"_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-68e7ff9083a4e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Barros has been a standout in every sense, displaying an impressive mix of athleticism and instinct. With 26 total tackles, 3 interceptions and a fumble recovery he returned for a touchdown, Barros has proven to be a true playmaker in the secondary. His ability to track the football and make plays in space separates him from the rest. Barros plays with confidence and composure, rarely caught out of position. He's also shown physicality in run support, delivering key stops when needed. he has the ability to lock down receivers and flip the momentum with a takeaway, Barros continues to make an impact that can't be ignored, cementing his place as one of the premier defensive backs in 3A football.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
