The senior QB went 16/17 for 246 yards and 5 TDs in round 2. He has a very good release paired with good throw power. Behrendsen has very good pocket presence. He trusts his offensive line, and stays poised under pressure. He also has very good scramble ability if he needs to get out of trouble. Very good throw on the run. Kellen demonstrates very good accuracy at all 3 levels. Good off platform thrower. Good progression speed. He's a beast, and I would expect some more traction on the college circuit after a performance like this.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1306314"],"_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-691fdb24200ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bell had a good game to end his senior year. He had 9 total tackles (4 solo, 5 assisted). I believe Bell deserves more love from the college circuit than he currently has. He has very good athletic ability due to elite acceleration, very good change of direction, speed, balance, and jumping. This safety has very good read and reaction skills. Very good ball instincts. He reads the QB's eyes and puts himself in a position to tackle or make a play. In coverage, he has very good closing quickness. He'll stay stride for stride with the defender in coverage and match the WR's fluid hips as they break into a route. Bell also makes his presence known in the run game with his very good tackling and run support. I can see him helping a team out at the FCS or D2 level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1455212"],"_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-691fdb242011d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Balch had himself a nice game against Pueblo County. The 5'9 155-pound kicker went 5 for 280 yards on kickoffs, 3/3 on PAT, and 1/1 on 37 yard field goal. Balch has very good quickness with his kicks. Roosevelt has a quick kicking operation. Balch has very good leg strength, exploding into the ball and launching it downfield. Very good leg control and placement. Very good accuracy. This senior has been a consistent kicker for Roosevelt all season long, and he will continue going into next game.</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":"Namon Robinson","_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":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"165","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Pueblo South","_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-691fdb24201e7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Robinson had himself a season high night against Conifer. The 6'1 175-pound WR/DB had 9 receptions for 170 yards and 2 touchdowns with 6 total tackles (2 solo, 4 assisted), 1 FF, and 1 FR. Robinson has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, change of direction, speed, and jumping. As a wide receiver, he uses his athletic ability to get the upper hand on the DB. Very good release. Good separation quickness. Very good ball tracking and catching. As a defender, he has a smooth and controlled back pedal with fluid hips to match the WR as he breaks into his route. What a performance for Robinson as Pueblo South go into the next round.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1661082"],"_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-691fdb2420239"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Niday measures in at 5'8 165-pounds, and had a solid game against Durango. The junior went 1/1 for 14 Yds, and 4 receptions for 93 yards. Niday has good athletic ability due to very good change of direction, jumping, good speed, and acceleration. Niday has a good release and quick feet to beat the DB at the line of scrimmage. He attacks the press jam and breaks quickly into his route. Good separation quickness due to mental processing, and athletic ability. He'll out juke the defender or find an open void to exploit. Good catching with very strong hands to hold onto the ball. Niday has good ball adjustment and very good body control. He's a great young receiver who has shown to be a consistent catcher for his quarterback.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
