The most impressive aspect of Foster's playstyle was his electric speed and ability to smack his foe hard off the whistle.

Logan was one of my favorite prospects of the afternoon, showcasing outstanding strength and physicality on all of his reps. I really liked how Logan used his arms to push back against the offensive linemen, proving he was one of the stronger players on the field.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2SrPHT">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2060400"],"_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-695ca30c7a6f9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I was also very impressed with Edward Brewer, an edge/running back at Madison Academy. Brewer, a prospect out of Alabama, was one of the younger prospects in attendance, but that did not stop him from instantly catching my attention during positional drills. What I liked about Brewer's playstyle was his athleticism and physical edge. Brewer made the most of his reps, using his footwork and wingspan to combat the offensive line and find a way around his opponent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/26523521/691b6b15ce1a8f0f079dd07e">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2092509"],"_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-695c9ce90892a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Claiming the MVP award for defensive linemen was [player_tooltip player_id='2092509' first='Frederick' last='Sanders Jr'], a talented prospect out of Briarcrest Christian School.

Sharp has great size, but his speed is what really sold me on this talented prospect out of the Knoxville area. Sharp moves quick and violently, utilizing his wingspan to stun and overpower his opponent. I also liked how Sharp used his footwork to deceive the offensive line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2TBAFP">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2092965"],"_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-695c9d3dc1976"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Making his presence known on every rep was Keegan Woolverton, an edge/defensive lineman at Paducah Tilghman High School. The prospect out of the Bluegrass State was unstoppable on every rep, using his excellent speed and strength to knock the offensive line off their feet. Woolverton was easily one of the more physical linemen in attendance, using his skillset to impress each and every rep. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1590163"],"_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-695ca30c7a77b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another top tier talent that caught my eye was [player_tooltip player_id='1590163' first='Jose' last='Cruz Jr'], a defensive lineman at Baylor School.

Another aspect of Brown's playstyle that caught my attention was his ability to use his wingspan to stun his opponent. Brown's strength and ability to remain durable against some of the bigger offensive linemen made a big difference.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/19749055/6920e5ad9c5a3b7829491946">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
