The 6'0 150-pound WR/DB has 32 receptions for 560 yards and 7 touchdowns with 16 total tackles (9 solo, 7 assisted), 8 INT, and 4 PD. Munos has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, jumping, and good change of direction. As a wideout, he demonstrates a good release at the line of scrimmage and very good separation quickness. He has very good ball tracking and catching skills. As a DB, he has a very good back pedal and is sticky in man coverage. He has good read and reaction time, including very good ball instincts. He'll pluck the ball out of the air, either in front of the WR or out in space. Munoz has had a great season for Coal Ridge, and I'm excited to see what he can do in his senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1953411"],"_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-690ead16675b5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tucci is currently top 3 in Colorado in sacks.
