The TE/OLB for Montrose has already been catching stream on the college circuit and with good reason. He had 5 receptions for 66 yards with 2 touchdowns, 84 total tackles (21 solo, 63 assisted), 28 TFL, 3 sacks, 15 QB pressures, 5 PD, and 1 FF. Very good athletic ability due to very good lateral quickness, acceleration, speed, jumping, and good change of direction. Doesn't get a whole lot of receiving options due to Montrose's run scheme. Very good initial quickness out of his stance. Very good hand strength, placement and strength to control and steer his opponents easily. Very good get off and block shedding. He does a great job splitting double blocks and getting the TFL. Pankey doesn't stop until the ball carrier in his grasp demonstrating his very good pursuit. Very good tackling as well. As a tight end, he has great athleticism and a large catch radius to come down with catches. Great two-way prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1641476"],"_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-69923eadd0edd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reddix measures in at 6'2 180-pounds. The WR, FS, and P had 7 catches for 126 yards with 2 touchdowns, 21 total tackles (12 solo, 9 assisted), 1 TFL, 1 sack, 5 PD, 3 FR, 3 punts for 84 yards. Reddix is a big body and imposing force on defense. He has good athletic ability due to very good jumping, change of direction, good acceleration, and speed. Good read and reaction speed. He does a good job assisting in run support. Reddix has very good closing quickness and timing on pass break ups. In limited catches, he made an impact on the offense. I'm intrigued to see how he continues improving his game this off-season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1580293"],"_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-69923eadd0f67"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Barnard measures in at 5'9 155-pounds. This past season, he had 27 total tackles (19 solo, 8 assisted), 1 INT, 1 FF, and 1 FR. Barnard ranges from a corner to a safety. Very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, jumping, good change of direction. Very quick feet. Does a great job jamming the wideout at the LOS and staying physical throughout. Fluid hips to match WR breaking out of the stem. Very good man and zone coverage. Sticks like glue staying stride for stride. Barnard has very good closing quickness and timing to create pass break ups. Good tackling as well and lays the boom on unsuspecting ball carriers. He's an exciting prospect that deserves more looks.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1570271"],"_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-69923eadd0fde"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chwialkowski measures in at 6'0 230-pounds, playing DT and G for Timnath.

He maintains a low pad level and uses his very good hand placement and strength to move interior lineman at will. Chwialkowski has good tackling.

Keep an eye out on him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1635605"],"_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-69923eadd104c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Loughin measures in at 5'7 and has been a productive tackler for Rocky Mountain.

Uses his good hand speed and hand placement to beat lineman when rushing the QB. Good zone coverage and tackling. Loughlin has very good competitive toughness and will run across the field to make the tackle.
