This offseason, it's been fun watching him keep developing and refining his craft. He has great size, has good hip bend for a player his size, shows good acceleration, has the necessary closing speed and the overall speed to keep up with anyone on the field. He has clean footwork, showcases strong hands and has a large catch radius. He's a physical player who isn't afraid to come down the box as a safety and has the dynamic range to be the deep safety. That duality makes him a plug-and-play talent. Offensively, he is a natural X-receiver, and if the ball comes his way, it's not a matter of if he's coming down with it, but what he's going to do after the catch. Premier talent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1082074"],"_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-69e1a6a92a408"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Eli is a natural receiver and is a true X, but watching him play 7's this offseason and getting more and more comfortable as a cornerback has been fun to see. At first, he was using his athleticism and speed to play the position, but he's been using technique now and feels more at home on that side of the ball. That will do him wonders for when the season comes, as he'll have an understanding of facing an opposing corner and what to do to beat him one-on-one. Eli has the athleticism, speed, and playmaking ability to be a big-time recruit. He's a fun player to watch create after the catch, and he's primed for a huge season as he faces 6A competition for the upcoming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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-69e1a6a92a45d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tytan is a pure athlete, he has the size and necessary tools to be effective at any position. From Tight End, EDGE, and as a Linebacker, Tytan is a player who can succeed anywhere. He has the physicality, quickness, the lateral movement and being light on his feet to be a playmaker when he steps on the field. He's a bully on the offensive side and will carry defenders on his back and as a backer, he diagnoses plays quickly and blows plays up before they develop. Tytan is going to have an exceptional final season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1418809"],"_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-69e1a6a92a4ad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Isaia is an exciting athlete and a player to know for the 2030 class. He has good footwork, runs precise routes, shows good route manipulation and does a good job creating separation and is strong at the catch point. Watching him at 7's he's a fun player on the defensive side as a safety, he shows good closing speed and has good range and he has a natural feel for the position. He's a player with a bright future and has every right to be a P4 recruit and receiver multiple offers. Fun player to know in a deep 2030 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Those are some fun athletes to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Let's take a look at some exciting two-way players that aren't defined by a position. These are playmakers that can be put anywhere on the field, and they'll flourish.
