He is a tough and physical vertical runner that can break tackles at the first two levels, shows good vision in tight spaces and cutback abilities while showing he is a natural forward leaner that can gain the tough yards inside. He is also a terrific pass catcher out of the backfield with natural hands and short area route running abilities and can quickly knife upfield. Heading into his second season, he is going to be one of the top backs in the trinity league, and received second team All-League Honors this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1864124"],"_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-6944218a05fbb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Clark is coming off a open division title win and is one of the top '28 receiver prospects across the state of California that had a breakout sophomore season campaign for the Eagles. He is a big play prospect with strong hands, natural tracking abilities and is a diverse route runner that can create seperation downfield and come down on 50/50 balls and is fluid in space and quick in and out of his breaks. He also shows he is explosive after the catch, can make defenders miss in space and is tough to bring down in the open field. Clark should field plenty of college interest/offers this off-season and have a big camp circuit through out the winter and spring. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["959008"],"_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-6944218a06004"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another standout freshman phenom from the Trinity League, Iloilo is going to have plenty of experience under his belt entering into his sophomore season for the Eagles. He is a very athletic interior prospect with quick feet, natural bend in and out of his stance, shows a violent strike and leg drive to finish blocks downfield and excels at both blocking in a phone booth and at the second level. He is also solid in pass protection with patient hands, good balance and body control and can win against both speed or power rushers. He is another name that should rise this season and start fielding some FBS offers. </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":"Jake Martin","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_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":"180","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Santa Margarita","_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-6944218a060ae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Martin is part of this loaded '28 class for the Eagles and had a big part in their success this year, leading to their state title win over De La Salle. He is a very high IQ and efficient receiver that can beat zone coverage, a smart route runner when breaking off/getting into defenders blind spot and is sure handed and can pluck the ball out of the air with high point abilities and tracking from various angles. On tape, he shows he can play both in the slot or the outside and has the ideal projectable frame/size right now for the next level and should be a no-brainer at the FCS+ level. Another All-Trinity League selection, he should have another stellar junior season and is a name to note this off-season across the camp/showcase circuit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["797141"],"_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-6944218a060f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lux is one of the more impressive passers atop the leaderboards across the state in his class and threw for 2,800 yards with 29 touchdowns on the year and is a very mechanically sound thrower with a quick release, tight spiral and very high football IQ when working through his progressions. He has great accuracy downfield when throwing his receivers open, shows he can put nice touch over the top to allow receivers to run underneath the ball and can also put it on a rope over the middle to fit into a tight window. On the run, he shows he can toss it from various platforms and arm angles without losing much zip on the ball and will only to continue to improve mechanically as a passer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
