Smith displays good downfield burst, acceleration and run-after-the-catch ability. He has good straight-line speed and can win contested catches, does a great job of getting open and getting behind opposing secondaries to get yards after contact and be a legit downfield threat. Added to our Watchlist and is projected to be one of the faster-rising WR's this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2128933"],"_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-69b169b882ca1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2128933' first='Aaron' last='Rapp'] is a strong, tough, interior defensive tackle for Indian Lake who flashes a high ceiling. Rapp has a quick first step, plays at a low pad level and comes off the LOS with a flat back. He can spin off blockers, wrap up and is stout against the run. Keep an eye on Rapp's development over the next two seasons and beyond.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2111688"],"_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-69b169b882d13"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2111688' first='Leif' last='Taylor'] is a starting defensive tackle for Preble-Shawnee. Taylor is a good run-plugger with adequate first-step quickness, he can spin off blockers and wrap up against the run. He has good size, strength and a big frame with room to add bulk in a college weight program. Keep an eye on his development over the next two seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2128435"],"_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-69b169b882d7f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2128435' first='Peyton' last='Cowdery'] is a starting running back for Beaver Local. I love Cowdery's dual-threat abilities as both a runner and receiver out of the backfield. Cowdery displays soft hands with great adjustment to the ball int eh middle of the air. He can high-point the ball and win one-on-one battles. At linebacker, he is a tackling machine, taking great pursuit angles and flashes being a heavy hitter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
