<p><strong>Theodis Fields Jr. | Cypress Lakes</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Fields is a compact, stout back with the long speed to outrun defenses and flip the field in an instant. His vision stands out on tape, navigating traffic with ease and shows impressive elusiveness in tight spaces. Fields possesses a sudden burst that catches defenders off guard, allowing him to gain leverage quickly and turn small openings into big gains. He sets up his blocks well, showing patience before hitting creases and slipping through arm tackles with balance and strength. A difficult runner to bring down one-on-one, Fields finished his senior season with over 900 rushing yards and 9 touchdowns, playing a key role in the Spartan playoff push. He leaves behind a production level and skillset that will be hard to replace.</p>

<p>Tramble was electric for the Falcon offense, producing multiple big-time runs throughout his senior season.
