He measures in at 6'1 165-pounds with 20 receptions for 203 yards with 1 touchdown, including 2 kick returns for 59 yards. He has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, change of direction, and jumping. Good release paired with very good separation quickness. Zanotelli accelerates and bursts to create separation or will sit in an open void to get the easy completion. Crisp cuts into his route from the stem. Very good ball tracking and catching. He extends and plucks. Consistently makes the difficult catch. Very good ball adjustment and body control. Does a great job adjusting to the ball while keeping his feet in bounds. After the catch, he'll shed tackles and use his home run speed to gain yards. He's a star in the making and I wouldn't be surprised when some colleges start giving him offers. Zanotelli has the talent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2055856"],"_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-69acb04fc671a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Arnold III is an intriguing receiving option for Grandview. Measuring in at 5'9 165-pounds, he accounted for 34 receptions for 467 yards with 3 touchdowns. He has good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, change of direction, good jumping, and speed. Good release against both off coverage and the press jam. Arnold III has good separation quickness. Does a good job fighting through contact to get open. Good ball adjustment and body control. Very good catching and ball tracking skills. After the catch, he'll use his speed paired with juke moves to make defenders miss. I'm excited to see him continue his development this off-season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1110195"],"_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-69acb04fc6764"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pettit measures in at 6'2 185-pounds.

He has good athletic ability due to very good speed, jumping, good acceleration, and change of direction. Good release paired with good separation quickness. Pettit shows a willingness with no fear to go across the middle, make the catch, and get hit by multiple defenders. Good ball tracking with very good catching. He catches the ball with contact while using his strong hands to hold onto the ball. Large catch radius. Good ball adjustment and very good body control. Pettit is an exciting possession receiver that has shown to turn on the jets when needed. Look for him to continue boosting his stock this off-season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1661082"],"_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-69acb04fc67aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Niday measures in at 5'8 165-pounds accounting for 26 receptions for 451 yards with 3 touchdowns.

Very good ball adjustment with good body control. After the catch, he'll use his elusiveness to gain more yards for his offense. I'm excited to see how Niday continues his development moving forward!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2143343"],"_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-69acb04fc67ec"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Plunkett measures in at 6'1 185-pounds.
