Vernon High School. This talented rising senior out of Illinois made the most of his time in Nashville, proving his ability to be disruptive down the stretch and consistently contest the pass. What made Crowder so unstoppable was his versatile edge and physicality, proving he can elevate off the ground and use his wingspan to reach the ball first.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/josh_crowder3/status/1933338679604293858?s=20">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1587004"],"_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-695b05488eb6e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Earning himself the linebackers MVP award was [player_tooltip player_id='1587004' first='Gerrard' last='Kaufman'], an edge/defensive lineman at Melrose High School. Kaufman was locked in early on during the broad jump, but really hit his stride during positional drills. What makes Kaufman so explosive is his ability to execute with efficiency off the whistle and finish strong. Kaufman also proved he has strong footwork and can pick up speed on the run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/23421209/692374c5535a35ca251e87ba">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1305180"],"_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-695b05488ebb6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another talented prospect to earn himself MVP honors was [player_tooltip player_id='1305180' first='Kruise' last='Buntyn Jr.'], a running back at Knoxville Catholic.
