What an absolute beast this kid is at 6'5 and 250 lbs., he is a man amongst boys on the field. Whether it be against the pass or the run Woodson plays the game smart and efficient which he showed last fall obtaining 76 tackles. 18th overall and number 1 in his position group, this guy is just beginning his ascension. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/45rzns/status/2037680632290058474?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/45rzns/status/2037680632290058474?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2156382"],"_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-69cbca353acfe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Talked about Cleveland over the weekend when the new rankings come out, the rising junior out of Green Run is 6'6 and 200 lbs.! Qwayon is also a multi sport athlete with several division 1 offers, he checks in at 19th overall. Check out the dunk he throws down below, this young man is going to be playing on Saturdays very soon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/QwayvonC1/status/2026094066266439857?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/QwayvonC1/status/2026094066266439857?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1692026"],"_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-69cbca353ad8a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the reasons why I think Gainesville is a strong candidate for a bounce back season is the potential of players like [player_tooltip player_id='1692026' first='Ryan' last='Kohlmeyer']. He played a lot last season obtaining 2.5 sacks with over 10 plus pressures, now with Coach Cage establishing his defense I really believe Kohlmeyer will flourish. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1951319"],"_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-69cbca353ae1b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">King George pass rusher [player_tooltip player_id='1951319' first='Aiden' last='Crocker'] has a ton of upside at 6'1 and a solid 220 lbs.. Crocker sets the edge well and forces double teams due to his raw strength. He seems to be coming into his own and I think he will play defensive tackle in college. A very smart football player watching his tape, he really gets beat to the outside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/TheAidenCrocker/status/1987523620336460216?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/TheAidenCrocker/status/1987523620336460216?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1692088"],"_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-69cbca353aea3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sean Tyler was one of the first commits to Coach Overton's newly formed St James squad last year and he had an excellent sophomore season. He really does a great job freeing up the edge rushers in Coach Jeff Overton's defense, Tyler will be a FBS level football player. I love when the Strivers line him up over the center, he is too quick and fast to be blocked 1v1. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/DeuceMan0616/status/1987983587417919973?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/DeuceMan0616/status/1987983587417919973?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
