The DB had 83 total tackles (71 solo, 12 assisted), 3 TFL, 4 INT, 8 PD, and 3 FR. Music has good athletic ability due to very good change of direction, acceleration, good speed, and jumping. Smooth and controlled back pedal. Music has fluid hips to match WR breaking into their route. Very good man coverage and good zone coverage. Sticks to the wide receiver like glue. Very good timing on pass breakups. Very good closing quickness. Music has very good tackling. Uses his strength and pulls the ball carrier down with ease. He has lengthy arms to create pass deflections. Good ball tracking and catching skills. Music's apart of the rising core from Grand Junction.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1642678"],"_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-698bb68fcbb1d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Leffert measures in at 5'11 195-pounds playing ILB for Golden. This past season, he had 95 total tackles (36 solo, 59 assisted), 2 TFL, 1 sack, 5 QB pressures, 2 PD, 1 FF, and 1 blocked field goal. Leffert has good athletic ability due to his very good lateral quickness, change of direction, good acceleration, speed, and jumping. Good read and reaction speed. He consistently watches the QB's eyes putting himself in position to make a play. Good sideline to sideline range. Leffert excels as a downhill threat stopping the run. He stuffs gaps and uses his good block shedding to get behind the LOS. Keep an eye on this kid going into next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1570709"],"_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-698bb68fcbb67"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chapala is an exciting running back for Mead. Measures in at 5'10 170-pounds, he had 186 carries for 1412 yards and 13 touchdowns. Chapala has very good athletic ability due to very good change of direction, speed, acceleration, and good balance. Explosive quick start at the line of scrimmage. Very good vision. He weaves through the defense effortlessly. Very good inside running. He gets behind his OL in short yardage situations and gets the first down. Very good outside running. He turns the perimeter and is gone. Chapala gets yards after contact, due to his nasty juke moves. He'll bounce off defenders as well. He's a beast and deserves some more recruiting love.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1683793"],"_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-698bb68fcbbaf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Minton is a powerful center for Pine Creek. He measures in at 6'2 265-pounds. Minton has very good initial quickness out his stance with his hand speed. He maintains a low pad level due to his good knee bend, very good flexibility and balance. Very good strength. Very good hand placement and hand strength to control and steer his opponent at will. Very powerful grip. Minton has good foot quickness as well. Good speed from 1st to 2nd level blocks and creates blocks on the perimeter for the screen game. Good anchor and very good pull blocking. I'm excited to see how Minton does this upcoming season !</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
