Phifer has a quick first step, and flashes being a good puller in the run game. The 6-foot-2, 250-pound prospect can quickly get out of his stance, run across the LOS and find somebody to block. Phifer is also a good second-level run blocker who can strike a moving target with good hand placement and timing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1905476"],"_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-692848f8a74fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1905476' first='Robert' last='Leskovec III'] is a starting offensive lineman for St. Ignatius High School. Leskovec aligns at guard which is his fit with his 6-foot-3, 260-pound frame. Leskovec has good first-step quickness, good leg drive to drive defenders off the ball and create vertical push to create lanes for running backs. He has also aligned at offensive tackle.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1905557"],"_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-692848f8a7564"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1905557' first='Nick' last='Barros'] is a starting offensive lineman for Notre Dame Cathedral Latin High School. Barros is very underrated. The 6-foot-4, 265-pound prospect is a very good run blocker in space. He can pin, pull and work to the second level, and is excellent at finding second-level defenders to block. He is a good finisher who runs his feet on contact. With a long, lean and athletic frame, he has plenty of room to grow. High-effort, high motor player who works to the whistle.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1905538"],"_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-692848f8a75cc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1905538' first='Marcus' last='Trice'] is a starting linebacker for Shaker Heights. I really like Trice: he is a very instinctive outside linebacker with great pursuit and chase, as both a pass rusher and run defender. Trice takes great angles to the ball. He is a good wrap-up tackler who can be very disruptive, flashes some edge speed and has the motor to chase down scrambling quarterbacks. Keep an eye on him during college camps.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
