His ability to take a handoff and run for big plays is special. He can score anytime he touches the ball because he has such elite speed. Once he gets into the open field, he is off to the races. The other part of his film that I like is how patient he is as a running back. His ability to be patient wait for the hole to open and explode through it is impressive. Larue has special traits, and with a strong off-season he is in line for a big season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">My regular season film.<a href="https://t.co/8GREFMaB8i">https://t.co/8GREFMaB8i</a><a href="https://twitter.com/CoachWeachter?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachWeachter</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BrandonHuffman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BrandonHuffman</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/GregBiggins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GregBiggins</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/FriedmanAdamm?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@FriedmanAdamm</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/TheUCReport?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TheUCReport</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/ChadSimmons_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ChadSimmons_</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/RyanSnyderOn3?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RyanSnyderOn3</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/adamgorney?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@adamgorney</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/EdOBrienCFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@EdOBrienCFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/tyler_calvaruso?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@tyler_calvaruso</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/PRZVicCastillo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PRZVicCastillo</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/DemetricDWarren?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DemetricDWarren</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/SWiltfong_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SWiltfong_</a> <a href="https://t.co/COK3D46jwq">pic.twitter.com/COK3D46jwq</a></p>&mdash; Jerome Larue jr (@jerome_j5_Larue) <a href="https://twitter.com/jerome_j5_Larue/status/1990070051718746207?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 16, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1040182"],"_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-69375878e2541"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1040182' first='Jarelle' last='Mason'] is one of the best athletes in the state.
