<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's dive in with the Tight Ends in the class and who are some players to know.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["872553"],"_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-69ec1979dd4da"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tytan is a pure athlete and will likely end up as a backer at the next level but he is an athlete who shows great strength and physicality. He is an athletic mover, natural instincts on both sides of the ball, and he is a player who is primed to have a huge season on both sides of the ball. If Mountain Ridge wins the 6A State title, Tytan will be the reason for it, make no mistake about it, he is the heart and soul of Mountain Ridge. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1571039"],"_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-69ec1979dd571"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Christian is the best pure Tight End in the class. He has great size, has the speed, the twitch, the physicality and the playstyle needed. He can be an old school in-line Tight End or detached and be a modern day athletic Tight End where he can be used as a mismatch. He is tremendously athletic and has exceptionally strong hands; he gets vertical with ease, has little wasted movement, and is an exceptional talent. He is a P4 starter and has the upside to get to the league.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1523172"],"_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-69ec1979dd5d9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I prefer Max as a backer as that is where he looks most comfortable and where his instincts kick in the best. On offense, as a Tight End/H-Back he is a thumper and has soft enough hands to be an effective pass catcher. He has the strength and physicality needed for the position and is a very good blocker. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1556067"],"_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-69ec1979dd639"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reese is a fun, two-way player. Offensively he is a useful target and does a good job of finding the soft spot in the zone and flashing his numbers for his signal caller. On defense, as a backer, he picked up that side of the ball very fast and was a fun player to watch on that side of the ball, he has the instincts for a player who is new to that side of the ball. He is a fun player who could get some D1 looks, but has the floor of JUCO and D2 prospect. Good upside for a player who is garnering more and more playing time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Those were some Tight Ends to know for the class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Let's dive in with the Tight Ends in the class and who are some players to know.
