An outstanding running back who you'd think is in a higher grade based off how he plays and carries himself and his name is [player_tooltip player_id='1627590' first='Marcus' last='Young'] out of the state of New Jersey in the 2030 class! Yes, I said it, the 2030 class! Young is an extremely polished and poised running back who shows patience and vision yet hits the hole at the line of scrimmage as hard as any back I have seen and once, he's in the open field it's over for defenses, Young is gone down field for a quick six! He's a terrific player in the 2030 class and is a beast on the gridiron!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1396266"],"_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-691166b23071f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">You want to know of a beast in the trenches out of the 2030 class in the state of New Jersey?! Well, I have your guy right here and his name is [player_tooltip player_id='1396266' first='Anthony' last='Santiago']! Santiago is a complete beast at the defensive end position and the tight end position. The young man is already standing at 6'3 and weighing in at 185 LBS. He is going to be a complete monster on the field at the high school level and become a force of a mismatch on both ends of the field. He is a stud and is a name to follow not just in New Jersey but in all of the 2030 class!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1855304"],"_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-691166b230728"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1987638' first='Daveon' last='Shaw'] is a stud at the wide out and linebacker positions. Shaw has good size and athletic ability. Shaw brings a high level of athleticism, skill and physicality to the game out of the 2030 class and in the state of New Jersey. Shaw has great, great upside and is going to be a major name to follow from here on out if you don't already!

He's got an outstanding ability to extend plays with his legs and has the arm to beat you down field. Waters are what I like to call an all-around signal caller and that's exactly what he puts on display!
