He also plays track and field. This past season, he had 69 carries for 347 yards with 7 touchdowns, 15 receptions for 130 yards with 1 touchdown, 25 total tackles (11 solo, 14 assisted), with 6 PD. Webb is a down hill threat with good balance to gain extra yards after contact. He has good athletic ability due to his good speed, acceleration, and change of direction. Smooth cuts while running downhill. Very good inside running. Keep an eye on Webb's development.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1649044"],"_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-69d9519f3a35d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yates measures in at 5'7 155-pounds playing RB/OLB. Last season, he had 59 carries for 296 yards with 8 touchdowns, 13 receptions for 150 yards, 60 total tackles (23 solo, 37 assisted), 7 TFL, 1 INT, 1 FF, and 1 FR. Yates has good athletic ability due to good acceleration, speed, change of direction, and balance. Solid vision paired with good inside running. Solid outside running. Yates has shown to be a reliable target in the passing game. Good ball tracking and catching. I'm looking for him to take that next step in his development.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"King Stevenson ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"165","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Thomas Jefferson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69d9519f3a3f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stevenson measures in at 5'8 165-pounds playing RB/CB. He had 81 carries for 380 yards with 3 touchdowns, with 14 total tackles (6 solo, 8 assisted). Stevenson has good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, good change of direction, and balance. He has good vision. Good inside running paired with very good outside running. Once he turns the corner and hits the perimeter he is gone. Stevenson falls forward for extra yards as well as regaining composure when he starts to stumble. He's a weaver back making defenders miss with his feet and speed more so than his power. I'm intrigued to see how he does his upcoming season!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Garrett Ingelhart","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"180","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Glenwood Springs","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69d9519f3a48f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ingelhart measures in at 5'10 180-pounds playing RB/MLB. He had 61 carries for 338 yards with 3 touchdowns, 32 total tackles (16 solo, 16 assisted), 3 TFL, 1 sack, 1 PD, and 1 blocked field goal. Ingelhart has good athletic ability due to very good balance, good speed, acceleration, and change of direction. Uses his good vision and strength to power through the defense. Very good inside running with good outside running. Ingelhart uses his jump cuts to make defenders miss to gain extra yards. Does a good job in short yardage situations, following his OL to the promise land. Another name to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1215745"],"_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-69d9519f3a4db"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Measuring in at 5'8 150-pounds, Newell accounted for 43 carries for 233 yards with 2 touchdowns including 10 total tackles (7 solo, 3 assisted). He has good athletic ability due to very good change of direction, good acceleration, speed, and balance. When one hole is covered, he'll use his jump cuts to pivot into the open one. Good vision to pick, slide, and accelerate into the open hole. Very good outside running with good inside running. Newell does a good job gaining YAC due to his balance and juke moves. Keep an eye on Newell as we continue into this off-season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
