He flashed some good skills this year for Pine-Richland. He gets off the ball quickly and shows good instincts. His ability to use his hands in hand fighting to rip through offensive linemen is impressive. He also shows good strength as an offensive lineman; it's hard to block him. The other part of his game is that he has a motor that never stops, as he is constantly chasing plays all over the field. Barnett has the skills to be a dominant defensive lineman, and I expect a huge jump next season from him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1741520"],"_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-691cff4f9838a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mekki Bonner has limited film from last year, but you see the talent with him. He is a good athlete who moves well. His ability to play with his hand down in a defensive stance and play off the edge in a two-point stance shows his versatility. He has a good combination of strength and athleticism. You really see it when he fires off the ball and is chasing plays in the offensive backfield. Bonner has a chance to be an excellent defensive lineman for Roman Catholic. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1654761"],"_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-691cff4f983f6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1654761' first='Jayden' last='Beluch-Barr']'s film was from Junior Varsity, but you see the talent when watching his film. He is a talented two-way lineman. As a nose tackle, he has good strength, and he is hard to move off his spot. He splits double teams well to cause issues for offensive linemen trying to block him. As an offensive lineman, he does a good job of combo blocking defensive players. With an off-season of working on his conditioning and getting stronger, Beluch-Barr should be able to excel next year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1741519"],"_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-691cff4f9845b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1741519' first='Jye' last='Walter'] is a long, athletic edge defender for La Salle College who played on Junior Varsity, where he excelled. His ability to fire off the ball and be disruptive is impressive. He has one of the fastest get-offs I have seen from players. He is such a good athlete that he can easily chase down quarterbacks and running backs in the backfield. He also blocked several punts as he went off the edge and got his hands on punts. Walter is a talented athlete whom I cannot wait to see play next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1742997"],"_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-691cff4f984c0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1742997' first='Landon' last='Beeson'] has a chance to be a stock riser in the 2029 class as either a defensive lineman or an offensive lineman. At both positions, he shows good feet and strength. As an offensive lineman, his versatility is impressive as he played as a guard and as a center. At both positions, he moves his feet well and drives defenders off the ball. Then, as a defensive player, he is hard to move off his spot as he can hold his ground in the interior. Beeson has a chance to improve and be even better next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
