<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's dive into the backers of the 2028 class and give you four names you need to know and to get on your recruiting radars.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1605996"],"_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-6a1a5a72e2efc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Auston has great instincts and has great closing speed and pursuit. He is exceptional in shedding his blocks and weaving his way through traffic. He has a nose for the ball and plays with good lateral quickness, and has great tackling form. He's a player with D1 talent and has a great future ahead.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1221397"],"_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-6a1a5a72e2f76"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aisa is a pure athlete. He can be a running back, an EDGE rusher, and play any of the backer spots. He has great instincts and feel for the game. He plays bigger than his size and has good physicality to his game. He shows good sideline to sideline speed, changes direction on a dime, and disengages from his blocks with ease. He has great footwork and displays good instincts in space. He is a player who needs to stay on the field, and his versatility and athleticism allow him to do so. He is a D1 prospect. Great upside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["876933"],"_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-6a1a5a72e2fc8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Britton has great size and has always played with great footwork, good burst of speed, and physicality. His transition to a backer role is a natural fit for that and with his instincts as an offensive player will allow him to diagnose plays quickly and disrupt passing windows. Britton has all the tools you want to see and he should have his recruitment elevated with his new role for the upcoming season. He is a D1 talent and schools that are holding off on offering him will be missing out. He will be an exceptional backer this year for Orem. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1082092"],"_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-6a1a5a72e3015"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bridger has always been a player with talent and his switch to Davis last year proved dividends. He is an active backer who has good size and great instincts. He shows good speed and has good pursuit. He is effective as an attacking backer, and he is just as comfortable in space and in coverage. He's an all-around backer with a ton of upside. He's set up for another big year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That was a look at some important backers to know. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
