He's completed 206-of-346 passes for 2,988 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. Spencer has also rushed for 304 yards and four touchdowns. The lefty isn't scared to throw the ball in tight spaces, which shows how confident he is in his arm talent. I love the fact that he's not afraid to push the ball downfield. Expect Spencer to throw the football 20-plus times in this game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1889339"],"_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-692391b24ef7a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Holmes has carried the football 89 times for 580 yards and three touchdowns while sharing carries with Harrison O'Connell. He didn't get many opportunities, but I think he's underrated as a receiver out of the backfield. Holmes is shifty and hard to tackle in a 1-on-1 situation. I love his acceleration on short-to-intermediate runs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1684473"],"_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-692391b24effc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pross stepped it up big time during his senior year. He caught 60 passes for 1,079 yards (18.0 yards per catch) and nine touchdowns this season. Pross had season highs in catches (12), receiving yards (265 yards), and touchdown catches (3) during a Oct. 4th win (38-21) against Gilman. He's a veteran who's seen every type of coverage at the high school level and can adjust to it. Pross has shown he can make contested catches and catch the 50/50 balls. There's no question that he'll be playing somewhere on Saturday next fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["804578"],"_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-692391b24f079"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Noll is what I call a gamer. He had a solid sophomore year campaign, completing 72-of-138 passes for 971 yards, nine touchdowns, and four interceptions, and rushing for 392 yards and two rushing touchdowns. He's a work in progress (not in a bad way), and I can see him developing into one of the best quarterbacks in the conference. Noll is someone I saw towards the end of the season and he clearly was confident jin his abilities. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Harrison O'Connell","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"190","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Calvert Hall","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-692391b24f1a4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">While sharing carries with [player_tooltip player_id='1889339' first='Azuriah' last='Holmes'], O'Connell carried the football 74 times for 500 yards and seven rushing touchdowns. He and his backfield mate, [player_tooltip player_id='1889339' first='Azuriah' last='Holmes'], are the same type of back. North-south, and have nice acceleration to get those chunk yards in short-to-intermediate situations. O'Connell is good money in goal-line situations. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Note: Yes, I cheated.
