The 5'10 185-pound QB has 121/174 for 2289 with a 69.5% completion rate and 27 TDs with 5 INT, including 43 carries for 291 yards and 3 touchdowns. Ellison has very good throw power paired with a very quick release. He launches it downfield effortlessly with pressure in his face. He has very good touch on his throws, making it easier for the receiver to catch. One thing about Ellison is his poise under pressure. He stays calm and accurate. If no one's open, he will use his very good scramble ability to get the first down. Ellison is accurate all 3 levels, however his medium accuracy stands out to me the most. He isn't afraid of standing in the pocket and taking a hit either. When he's rolling out, he still maintains accuracy with his fluid hips. Ellison is a beast, and is looking to continue dominating into the playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1626423"],"_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-690eb77ff0646"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coleman measures in at 6'4 200-pounds. This season the junior had 26 receptions for 640 yard and 7 touchdowns. Coleman has very good athletic ability due to very good jumping, acceleration, good speed, and change of direction. He has a good release at the line of scrimmage. Very good separation quickness due to play strength and mental processing. Coleman will exploit an open void for a first down. Coleman has very good ball tracking skills and catching. He's a very good contested catch reciver, consistently coming down with the catch. He uses his good route running ability to get open and will punish the defense with big gains. He gets yards after the catch due to his stiff arm and juke move. Coleman is a beast and has already gotten traction on the college circuit. Keep an eye out for him in the playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1620553"],"_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-690eb77ff0690"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Washer measures in at 6'6 190-pounds. This season, he accounted for 45 receptions for 727 yards and 12 touchdowns. He has very good athletic ability due to very good jumping, acceleration, speed, and good change of direction. Washer has a very good release at the line of scrimmage, against both off coverage and press jam. He has very good separation quickness due to his athletic ability, mental processing, and play strength. Washer will either out run the defender at the top of the route, find an open void to exploit, or create separation with his physicality. He has very good ball tracking and catching skills. Very good body adjustment and control to keep both feet in bounds for a big gain. After the catch, Washer will juke defenders out, or use a powerful stiff arm to get open. Washer is a dominating receiver/ TE, and would contribute at the next level with ease.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1695751"],"_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-690eb77ff06d6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thenell measures in at 5'10 215 pounds. In the regular season, he had 180 carries for 1467 yards and 18 touchdowns with 23 receptions for 386 yards and 3 touchdowns. Thenell is a power back and thrives with contact. He has very good athletic ability due to elite balance, very good speed, acceleration ,and good change of direction. He has very good vision and utilizes that to weave through the defense. If he can't juke them out, he'll run through the defender. He has very good jump cuts, and if one hole is covered, he'll rush into the next. Thenell has very good strength and trucking. Very good inside running and good outside running. He consistently gets yards after contact, and sheds tackles like they are nothing. Thenell is a dog, and will continue to dominate in the playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1695383"],"_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-690eb77ff071a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Howard measures in at 5'10 170 accounting for 39/83 for 642, 47% completion, 6 TDs, 5 INT, 233 carries for 2050 yards and 23 touchdowns with 4 receptions for 58 yards. This dual threat QB excels in the run game. He leads all of Colorado in rushing yards. He has very good athletic ability due to very good change of direction, speed, acceleration, and balance. Howard has a good release paired with good throw power. He has very good short accuracy. Very explosive quick start when running. He uses his very good vision to weave through the defense. However, he isn't afraid of putting his shoulder down to truck through defenders. He uses his very good balance to consistently get yards after contact. Good juke move and very good dynamic cuts. Howard is a home run threat with the ball in his hands. I believe Howard will excel as a runner at the next level whether D2 or FCS.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
