Sam has very good athletic ability due to very good balance, acceleration, speed, with good change of direction. As a safety, he shows his physicality and aggressiveness. Very good tackling. Stops ball carriers in their tracks with ease. He'll come into the box and dominate with his run support. As a QB, he has a good release and throw power. Early maintains good pocket presence. Goes through his progressions and if no one's open will use his very good scramble ability to gain the first down. It's not too <em>Early </em>to look at him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2145390"],"_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-69c70fb8e61e8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ragan is an exciting pass rusher for Basalt.
