Defensively he is a hunter. Put him near the line of scrimmage and he is making stops. He has the versatility to line up as a corner as well and disrupt passes with his physicality. Poko plays with incredible instincts. He gets to the ball with urgency and looks to punish opponents. Offensively, Poko is a consistent pass catcher. He gets the ball in space and he makes the right plays to help his team out. He is a willing blocker and a weapon who can change a game with one play. His ability to impact on both sides of the ball is what makes him a standout. The UofH commit will be a popular name this spring and heading into next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16873912/693f7b45540685f13c782532' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69ebc80d9848a"} /--> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2080085"],"_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-69ebc80d984f6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brown shows quick feet on both sides of the ball. Offensively he is a dynamic player who excels after the catch. He is shifty and knows how to evade defenders in space. When he hits the edge he can hit another gear and outrun defenders, and he shows excellent vision as a runner, following his blocks and getting up the field. As a defensive back Brown knows how to read routes. He shows great recognition of plays and is a fast processor. Brown attacks the ball in the air and is a great tackler. He will set the edge from his position and mow down opponents at the line of scrimmage. Brown is a star on his team and his play backs it up. He is one if the driving forces and will continue to be a key piece to their success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/20892745/68bc2c122172dda1ab40a28d' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69ebc80d9852b"} /--> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1295319"],"_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-69ebc80d98584"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Banks is an elite player on the field. His explosive play as a defense back as well as a weapon offensively and in the return game created numerous big-time opportunities for the Eagles. His is a top tier corner. The hips, the footwork, and the recognition. Banks is an excellent man-corner, shadowing movements and jumping routes at a high rate. When the ball is in his possession he is a different animal. The speed, the suddenness, the twitch. He has it. Banks is a threat to score on all returns he can get his hands on. He can reach his top speed in a hurry and will embarrass opposing players in space. Give him the ball and good things are to follow. He has gained much attention the offseason and will continue to be a hot name heading into spring ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19793592/68eee8ba4212be6cc0f32b97' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69ebc80d985ab"} /--> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2180830"],"_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-69ebc80d985fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At 6'3, 185 pounds, Collins is a matchup problem on both sides of the ball. As a defensive back he is a rangy player who drives well on the ball and uses his length to disrupt passes. Collins shows a good hip flip and tracks the ball very well in the air. He can excel in both man and zone and can eliminate a top target from a gameplan. As a receiver, Collins is a deep-threat. He can win any one-on-one matchup and has shown to haul in contested catches with strength. He high-points the ball very well and uses his frame to his advantage. Collins played a pivotal role on both sides last season and may bring that same impact for next. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/22293535/691cff4c5676cd9403bcc16d' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69ebc80d98627"} /--> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["559740"],"_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-69ebc80d98678"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Madkins is a different type of player. He plays with such urgency and fire teammates cannot help but feed off of him. Madkins has elite ball skills and is a hawk in the secondary. Any ball thrown in his vicinity is an interception and he has the speed to play sideline to sideline. Madkins plays with great physicality and will get into the mix near the line of scrimmage. He is a strong tackler and will close the distance in a hurry. On the offensive side of the ball, the blazing speed is unmatched. He is electric. Madkins will turn a screen into an explosive run-after-the-catch touchdown in a blink of an eye. He has excellent body control and strong hands that are seen on those sideline catches. As a runner he is tough, fighting through contact and using his vision to weave through defenders. Madkins is something special and is a must-watch on the field. Lock in to his play moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19669916/68c34a95b81cc0481823f008' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69ebc80d986a0"} /-->
