It's a good time to revisit the prospect with a fresh evaluation following a productive junior campaign for Muscatine this past fall. Roberts caught 12 balls for 348 yards (29.0 YPC) and four touchdowns in seven games. He added 21.5 tackles, 13 of which were solo stops, and 2.5 tackles for loss in earning honorable mention all-district honors. Roberts' opportunities in the passing game are limited operating in a offense geared to the run. The system highlighted his blocking, however, and he cashed in on the chances he received. We can see all of them when watching his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19750334/69585236573b8c863c083889" id="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19750334/69585236573b8c863c083889">11th-grade highlight video</a>. Roberts gets off of the line and into his routes quickly, showing speed in the open field. He operates with good technique as a blocker and will become even better in that area with room to fill out his projectable frame.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1590044"],"_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-69af283c3fd83"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A fresh evaluation of Fereday is overdue after last writing about the Columbus Catholic standout at this time last year. Part of that had to do with Fereday missing all but three games this past season. He managed 5.5 tackles, two of which were solo stops, in that time. Fereday put together a <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/20285299/68f263ef950ebcfe34b116d2" id="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/20285299/68f263ef950ebcfe34b116d2">junior highlight video</a> from the action he did see. He happens to be a big, agile athlete in the trenches. Fereday's frame still has plenty of room to add mass and strength without the loss of quickness and burst. He does well blocking in close quarters with strength and active hands. The athleticism and nimble nature allows him to easily reach blocks in space. Fereday could raise his stock significantly on the summer college team camp circuit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2147654"],"_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-69af2be845442"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnston reached the Class 5A quarterfinals last season, losing to Valley a step short of The Dome. Much of the Dragons' success could be traced to consistently good play from the offensive line. They rushed for 1,540 yards and 18 touchdowns, and threw for 2,076 and 22 touchdowns. Behrens was credited with 26 pancake blocks during his junior campaign. We get a good feel for what he does well when watching his <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18290098/69434904b866e10e7ce01d95" id="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18290098/69434904b866e10e7ce01d95">11th-grade highlight video</a>. On it, we see Behrens win reps with a valuable set of skills. He fires off of the snap faster than most opponents, gaining an early advantage. Understanding blocking angles and leverage, Behrens can control the the guy across from him. He operates with active and strong hands, too. That his frame has plenty of room for added mass and strength give him a sizable ceiling for the future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1207814"],"_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-69af2ec2c8b33"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Infanger has been on the Prep Redzone Iowa radar for some time. We've written about the talented Lewis Central lineman for years. We last evaluated him 10 months ago. An update generated from his junior season this past fall is in order. Infanger, who recently picked up an offer from Bemidji State, was kind enough to put together an <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19072521/68bf880f311bcde4fa3c056c" id="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19072521/68bf880f311bcde4fa3c056c">11th-grade highlight video</a> for us to check out. He chipped in 5.5 tackles (3 solo, 1.5 TFL) on defense, but most of his contributions came on the offensive side of the trench. Infanger is a mauler at the center position. He's super smooth and explosive at the position, traits you like to see there. Strength and power at the point of the attack usually overwhelm opponents. Combo blocks are part of his game, and he has no trouble reaching blocks at the second level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1597005"],"_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-69af32d43e4a5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Prep Redzone Iowa last wrote an evaluation for Hogan at this time a year ago. It's been a minute and feels like a prime time to provide feedback from his productive junior season. Hogan earned first-team all-district laurels after a campaign that saw him yield zero sacks and only two pressures in 67 pass protection reps. The Bobcats also rushed for 1,813 yards (6.6 YPC) and 25 touchdowns. Hogan saw a few defensive snaps last year and could intrigue a scout on that side of the ball. His <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19636017/692cce0d266f7c1db1822a55" id="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19636017/692cce0d266f7c1db1822a55">11th-grade highlight video</a> provides evidence as to why other college coaches envision him on offense. The first few clips show Hogan lining up at left tackle, firing off of the snap and blowing up defenders. The senior-to-be complements the power with lateral quickness and agility. And he has plenty of room to grow and develop before reaching is potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
