He has good athletic ability due to very good speed, balance, good change of direction, and acceleration. Key Jr. has very good vision. He picks, slides, and accelerates into the open hole. If all the inside gaps are covered, he'll use jump cuts to pivot and reach the outside. Very good inside and outside running. Key Jr. turns the corner and uses his home run speed to blaze past 2<sup>nd</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup> level defenders. He thrives at getting yards after contact. Good trucking to run through defenders paired with a powerful stiff arm. He'll bounce off defenders as well. I'm interested to see how Key Jr. does in this upcoming 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":"Collin Brown","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"160","_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":"Rocky Mountain ","_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-6982a79b178e8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brown measures in at 5'9 155-pounds playing receiver for Rocky Mountain. Last season, he had 20 receptions for 237 yards with 1 touchdown. Brown has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, change of direction, and good jumping. Good release at the line of scrimmage. Very good separation quickness with fluid route running. He'll out juke the defender and get open or find an open void to sit for an easy completion. Very good ball tracking and catching. Strong hands to hold onto the ball while getting hit. Very good ball adjustment either high, low, or behind. Not afraid of getting hit getting a catch over the middle. Very good body control keeping his feet in bound on sideline catches. Brown will also go out and block for other teammates. I've very excited to see how he does this upcoming 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":"Derion Breaux","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"165","_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":"Vista Peak Prep ","_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-6982a79b1797d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Breaux is another exciting running back alongside Key Jr in the Vista Peak Prep running back room. Measures in at 5'8 165-pounds. This past season, he had 12 carries for 161 yards with 3 touchdowns amongst 4 games played. Very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, change of direction, and good balance. Breaux has an explosive quick start at the line of scrimmage, paired with very good vision. He demonstrates fluid jump cuts to pivot through gaps and get into the 2<sup>nd</sup> level of defenders. Very good inside running and outside running. He has home run speed. I'm looking forward to seeing how he does with a full season under his belt and how he progresses over the off-season!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2086282"],"_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-6982a79b179d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Malnar is an intriguing prospect measuring in 5'10 160-pounds.

He has good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, good change of direction, and jumping. Malnar has a good back pedal. Good man coverage and zone coverage. Very good ball tracking and catching. He'll rip the ball out of the air. Malnar has very good tackling. He's not afraid of getting physical and giving support in the run game. Keep an eye out for him next season!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1112994"],"_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-6982a79b17a17"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cole measures in at 5'11 160-pounds playing defensive back for Cherokee trail.
