He is a downhill player that likes to get in the mix agains the run, tackles well in the open field and is a very smart player that is always around the ball and has cover abilities downfield as well and natural ball skills when breaking up passes underneath. He has a strong built frame, can play any position in the secondary and it will be fun to watch how he continues to grow and develop and where colleges see him fitting at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2180389"],"_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-69f61fd089d3b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Morgan is one of the better playmakers on the outside in the 2029 class and checks into our rankings inside the top ten at the receiver position. He is a long and athletic pass catcher with long strides downfield, strong hands in traffic and can go up and win on contested balls. Morgan shows good wiggle in the open field for his size and is tough to take down in the open field and can evade contact well and force poor angles with elite speed. He should draw plenty of FBS interest over the next 12 months and be one of the top players in the city section in 2026. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1741071"],"_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-69f61fd089cc6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bates is a terrific athlete on both sides of the ball that should have a breakout season as a sophomore and showed elite explosion and big plays abilities in his first season with the Braves. He is quick twitched and a very strong runner that can get into the open field with ease and make tacklers miss/force poor angles on his way to the end zone. He has a big frame, long catch radius and shows he can get off press coverage and over the top of safeties with ease and should have a breakout sophomore year for Bosco and be one of the better newcomers in the trinity league in 2026. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2149855"],"_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-69f61fd089d8c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sharp is coming off a freshman season where he had good production at the varsity level, showed quick processing and good athleticism in and out of the pocket and could delver the ball downfield consistently. He is a high IQ passer that processes quickly, feels pressure in the pocket and can throw on the run while not afraid to take a shot to deliver the ball downfield while also showing he can zip it from various arm angles and can take off and run when needed. Making the transfer over to the Diablos this off-season, Sharp will be a key signal caller in this class to keep a eye on and should be battling for the job over the next few years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2180393"],"_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-69f61fd089dd7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Modesto Christian product is a strong and powerful runner that gets downhill in a hurry and can run tough inside the tackles with natural forward lean and contact balance/leg drive through tacklers. He is a two-way guy and one of the top 2029 ATH's in the region and should have a breakout sophomore season for Modesto Christian and is also a effective linebacker, strong tackler and can make plays behind the line. He also shows he can catch the ball out of the backfield, quickly knife upfield and make tacklers miss in space with quick lateral movement and twitch. Heading into the 2026 season, he is one of the top sophomores to watch across the central valley and should start drawing some college attention here soon over the next year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
