Measures in at 5'9 165-pounds. He accounted for 79 carries for 858 yards with 12 rushing touchdowns, 15 receptions for 283 yards with 4 touchdowns, 26 total tackles (20 solo, 6 assisted), 3 INT, 3 PD, and 3 PR touchdowns. Meglen has very good athletic ability due to his very good speed, balance, change of direction, and acceleration. Very good vision to weave through the defense effortlessly. Pivots into the open gap with his explosive jump cuts. Very good inside and outside running. Once he turns the perimeter, he uses his home run speed to reach the endzone. Consistently gains yards after contact due to bouncing off defenders or juking them out. Demonstrates great catching ability too. Look for Meglen to show out to college scouts this camp season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["983595"],"_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-69e978ba312fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaramillo's film screams versatility. Don't be fooled with his size at 5'5 150-pounds, he still makes an impact. He had 34 carries for 209 yards with 3 touchdowns, 22 receptions for 345 yards with 3 touchdowns, 8 kickoffs for 438 yards with 3 KR touchdowns. Jaramillo ranges from the backfield to the slot. Very good athletic ability due to very good speed, acceleration, change of direction, and balance. Explosive burst paired with very good vision. Very good inside and outside running. Very good ball tracking and catching. As a receiver, he shows off his explosive release against the press jam. Uses his athletic ability to outrun the defender and make himself open. It's only matter of time when places start to see his value as a player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1555723"],"_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-69e978ba3135a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bacon measures in at 5'10 200-pounds and is a two-way player for Regis. The RB/LB had 93 carries for 436 yards with 3 touchdowns, 14 receptions for 97 yards, with 25 total tackles (17 solo, 8 assisted). He has good athletic ability due to very good balance, speed, good acceleration, and change of direction. Good vision with very good outside running. Picks, slides, and accelerates into the open hole. Bacon gains yards after contact due to his bruising stiff arm, powerful legs, or bouncing off defenders. Good ball tracking and catching. Bacon has shown to have a knack for pass protection as well. 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":["1326174"],"_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-69e978ba313a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Holdridge measures in at 5'10 180-pounds.

After contact, he'll use his trucking and stiff arm to create extra yards. Another running back to keep an eye on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1335261"],"_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-69e978ba313e5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ridenour measures in at 5'9 175-pounds playing RB and OLB.
