The 6'2 205 pound EDGE rusher, has a rangy first step that also appears to be instictive at the point of attack as one that plays with a charging motor. Getting off blocks, Jack has the sudden movement to get downhill quickly and is a small town prospect to know out of this 2027 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1625511"],"_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-69140c09743ab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If you are looking for a grinder in your trenches with solid footwork, great drive blocking ability and one that blocks to the whistle, meet [player_tooltip player_id='1625511' first='Dontay' last='Birdine'] of Mandan. The 6'3 240 pounder, has forceful hands and they also show off well-balanced pad level each time I have flipped on the film from his junior season which is a development from his sophomore season. He surely is one that can easily play on Saturdays and still has plenty of wiggle room to grow out his frame as I like the fit in the offensive trenches. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1300144"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2045615,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-69140c0974412"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Max made an impact at the UND Flagship Camp as he was on our standout list and when you roll his junior season you see even more growth that will surely move up our 2027 ND rankings. He surely looks like a athlete that can turn a nothing play into something regardless if that's on special teams or in the Roughriders receiving core.The 6'0 180 pounder, is a crafty route-runner for his size and is a deep ball threat that can work well winning his targets with how progressive he is in high traffic areas. Max surely looks like a D1 or D2 grade in my eyes. I could see him as an ealry offer in this class in the skill position group.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/MaxM96050">TWITTER</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1300130"],"_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-69140c0974460"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another trench monster that I love their violence they have in their hands, is [player_tooltip player_id='1300130' first='Elijah' last='Conrad'] out of Thompson. Elijah also has come around this year imiproving his pad-level at the point of attack which there is plenty of consistency you can see on tape with that growth he has made. It might sound repetitive, but Elijah is another climber I can see surely see up the rankings as I love the upside this young man has.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/ElijahConrad32">TWITTER</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1287892"],"_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-69140c09744ac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tariq has been a 2027 wide receiver that I loved the upside he has shown in the live eval when he first got on our North Dakota board, and he's one that has strided forward in his junior season on tape. The 5'9 155 pounder you could tell back then and now that he could be a problem in the open field and you can see that quickly on tape amongs the first few clips. As a slot-receiver, I am impressed with how consistently Tariq can burn the secondary deep as there's no doubt that he has some of the better hands at wide receiver that this class has to offer. He's always been a prospect that plays above his measurables and that really was emphaized this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/TariqBell_">TWITTER</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
