He went 26/41 for 454 yards, 63.4% completion rate, 7 TDs, 3 INT, 24 carries, for 157 yards and 2 touchdowns. Scherrer has good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, good speed, change of direction, and balance. One thing that stood out to me the most about him, was his accuracy and making smart decisions in the passing game. Good throw power with a good release. Very good ball placement skills. Scherrer stays poised in the pocket under pressure, going though his reads. If no one's open, he'll run for a first down. He's an intriguing dual-threat prospect.</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":"Clayton Leger","_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":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"163","_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":"Kent Denver","_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-6966dc8aab057"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Leger measures in at 6'3 185-pounds playing WR and DB for Kent Denver. He had 31 receptions for 535 yards and 10 touchdowns, with 24 total tackles (9 solo, 15 assisted), and 3 INT. Leger has good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, jumping, good speed, and change of direction. He's a great big body receiver. Good release at the line of scrimmage. Very good separation quickness to his play strength and mental processing. He'll fight through contact during the route or sit in a void patiently. Very good catching. Good body adjustment, and very good body control. Keep both feet on sideline catches, and tip toes across for extra yards. I'm very excited to see how he does on the college circuit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2035730"],"_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-6966dc8aab102"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brinkman went 93/201 for 1041 yards, 46.3% completion rate with 7 TDs, 11 INT, 133 carries for 708 yards and 12 touchdowns. Brinkman has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, good change of direction, and balance. He thrives as a rusher. Very good vision to weave through the defense, or will put his shoulder down to get extra yards. Good throw power and release. Brinkman has very good scramble ability. If he sees an open gap, he'll take it and rush for the first down. I'd like to see Brinkman grow more as a passer this off-season. He already has the rushing part down.</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":"Nick Taglione","_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":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"170","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2495","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Ponderosa","_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-6966dc8aab2ae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Taglione measures in at 5'10 170-pounds playing safety for Ponderosa. He had 73 total tackles (45 solo, 28 assisted), 4 TFL, 6 PD, and 2 FR. Taglione has good athletic ability due to very good change of direction, acceleration, good speed, and jumping. Very good read and reaction time. Ranges from a deep safety and into the box. He has very good zone coverage skills. Locks down his pass responsibility. Good man coverage. Very good timing on pass break ups with good closing quickness. Very good tackling. He consistently rushes across the field to make the big play. Very good competitive toughness. Keep an eye on him to breakout next season.</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":"James Watt","_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":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"170","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Mountain Range","_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-6966dc8aab41f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Watt plays RB/SS for Mountain Range. The 5'11 170 athlete had 57 total tackles (33 solo, 24 assisted), 8 TFL, 3 sacks, 2 QB pressures, 144 carries for 624 yards and 8 touchdowns. Watt has good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, jumping, good speed, change of direction, and balance. As a running back, he demonstrates good vision to power through the gaps and get the first down. Very good inside running and good outside running. In short yardage situations, he follows his OL's pads and gets the first down. On the defensive side, he has a smooth and controlled back pedal. Ranges from zone to box. He thrives in the box. Very good tackling and good strength to consistently impact the rushing game. Another 2028 to watch out for.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
