Meyers is also impactful in the passing game with his good catching out of the backfield. Keep an eye on him to continue to impress next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1922672"],"_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-6976d90986a0b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thomas measures in at 5'10 165-pounds playing RB/SS for Bear Creek.

Very good vision to find his way through the 1^st and 2^nd levels of the defense. Very good inside running. Thomas is a reliable threat out of the backfield with his good catching. Thomas also does a good job of gaining yards after contact. He'll put his shoulder down, juke a defender out, or use a powerful stiff arm. Look out for Thomas to reach that 1000 rushing mark next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["984635"],"_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-6976d90986a60"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Meglen measures in at 5'9 165-pounds.

He had 86 carries for 609 yards with 11 touchdowns, 9 receptions for 125 yards with 2 touchdowns, 64 total tackles (45 solo, 19 assisted), 12 TFL, 2 sacks, 4 QB pressures, 2 INT, 1 FR, and 1 pass deflection. Hudson has very good athletic ability due to very good speed, balance, acceleration, and change of direction. Mixture of a weaver and a bruiser. He has very good vision. Uses his jump cuts to pick, slide, and accelerate into the open gap. Very good inside and outside running. In short yardage situations, he'll follow his lineman and get the first down or touchdown. He consistently gets yards after contact. Modrzewski bounces off defenders like it's pinball, or he'll truck right through them with his very good strength. He has powerful legs to churn forward and drag defenders with him. I firmly believe he will reach that sought after 1000-yard season. Great young running back / linebacker who elevates his team.</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":"Zach Friedman","_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":"185","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Flatirons Academy ","_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-6976d90986b52"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Friedman measures in at 5'11 185-pounds. This past season, he had 168 carries for 878 yards for 9 touchdowns, 6 receptions for 91 yards, 29 total tackles (23 solo, 6 assisted), 5 TFL, 1 sack, 2 QB pressures, and 1 pass deflection. Friedman has good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, balance, good change of direction, and speed. Very good vision. Hits the open gap, and if it's covered, will use his dynamic jump cut to pivot into the open one. Very good inside running and good outside running. Friedman does a great job of churning forward and gaining extra yards with his balance. He'll run through defenders with his good trucking and strength. Does a good job catching the ball out of the backfield, but hasn't had a lot of opportunities. I'm excited to see how he does next season !</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
