Makes plays on the ball in the air getting his arm in front of the receiver. High level instincts on the perimeter changing directions and knocking down passes.  Can break up passes downfield recovering with his speed when the receiver does get a step on him.  Tackles well in space.  Fluid athlete that consistently bats down passes with his length.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1140979"],"_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-69a34c504700b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Moore is a corner with excellent size and footwork.  Type writer with his feet and drives on the ball.  Quick reaction time and fluid athleticism.  Ton of physical and athletic tools to like here!  Can play physical at line along with being effective in off coverage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1052308"],"_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-69a34c5047074"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams is a 6'1" athlete that at corner shows great instincts including grabbing a pitch to the running back out of the air and taking it to the house. Sound footwork and is adept at coming off his primary to make a play on the ball.  Effective in run support wrapping up low.  Combination of size, athleticism, and skill are super intriguing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1368256"],"_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-69a34c50470dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Marable is a rangy safety that flies to the ball!  Thumper coming down in the box to make tackles wrapping up low. Runs sideline to sideline.  Also can separate the ball from the receiver. Like his feel in coverage coming over to make plays on the ball in space. Can also cover in one on one knocking down passes.  Definitely has a bright future!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1688291"],"_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-69a34c5047141"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ray Jr recorded 51 tackles, 2 TFL, and 6 interceptions during his sophomore season. Safety that flips his hips and runs to the ball tracking it for interceptions.  Big time centerfielder that grabs the ball in the air and goes the other way.  Burst of speed!  High points the ball in the air in jump ball situations.  Also gives value as a kick returner. Good in run support as a missile flying to the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2133181"],"_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-69a34c50471a3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cambric is a 6'1" safety that had 4 interceptions and 6 passes broken up as a sophomore.  Cuts in front of receivers downfield to make interceptions.  Explosive driving on the ball.  Can also flip his hips and be a centerfielder downfield over the middle. Excellent footwork and not a lot of wasted movements.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1598476"],"_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-69a34c5047203"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Sanburg 6'1" defensive back is coming off a season where he had 4 interceptions, 7 PBU, and 26 tackles.  Offensively he also had 393 receiving yards and 7 TD.  Drives on the ball hard as corner for a pick 6. Like what he brings in coverage downfield as well running with the receiver and making plays on the ball in the air staying on the inside of the receiver. Cuts in front of in breaking passes.  Tackles well in space and you can just tell he is very well coached.  Offensively he can take the top off the defense as a vertical threat.  Really believe he has a high ceiling as a big and instinctual corner.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["617820"],"_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-69a34c5047263"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams is an instinctual corner that is a ball hawk!  Makes picks both around the line and in deep coverage.  Knocks down passes with his off hand around defender multiple times. The athleticism and change of direction are evident.  Drives hard on the ball.  Hits the wide receiver hard breaking the ball away from them.  Tackles well in space on the perimeter wrapping up low.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
