He's one of the most decorated recruits in the nation for good reason. He was hard to cover, faster than everyone, and scored TD after TD. He's competitve and you like to see a guy like that wanting to be out there with his boys. A day where you'd want to showcase why you are a 5-star, Sales did exactly that.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1652860"],"_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-69db03226f1fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jones had a really good day. He lit it up on the offensive side of the ball and then had a few good plays defensively. He's got a long frame with long strides. Good acceleration and ball skills in tight areas. Good sideline awareness as well, and had a few toe-drag swag plays on the outside. He's confident on the field and looks good. Someone who I think could be a late steal in recruiting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["849686"],"_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-69db03226f248"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wood had a good day, and you can see why he had a successful HS campaign. He's got a big arm, and the ball just jumps out of his hand. He's fairly accurate and knows how to come off something if it's not there. He's got a good base, and his footwork is fairly decent. He had an absolute dime from 40-yards out, right on the money for an impressive TD, which got the ball rolling for them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2105593"],"_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-69db03226f289"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Paul arguably had the most consistent and steady day out of anybody, and he did it all on the defensive side. It was PBU after PBU. He didn't chirp; he didn't get too high or too low. He stayed steady and ready for the next down. He's got elite closing speed and played his tail off. In a tournament that's supposed to be all about the offense, Paul stood out on the defensive side and was one of my favorite guys to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2169862"],"_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-69db03226f2c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bryce is an RB but you wouldn't know that if you just saw what he did out there today. He was all over the place and made some really good plays down the field. He's got strong hands and the ball doesn't get plucked away. He'll go over the middle and survive the contact. He's a physical runner but has decent speed. Defenses seemed to overlook him today, but he beat them when given the chances.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
