Last season, he had 15 total tackles (7 solo, 8 assisted) and 1 FF. Chu has good athletic ability due to very good change of direction, acceleration, good speed, and jumping. Good read and reaction speed. Notices it's a run and comes down from the deep safety position to make a play. Great run support with stout tackling. Chu is a hard hitter and is aggressive when tackling. He'll punch the ball out when given the opportunity. Uses his quick feet to decelerate and accelerate back, adjusting angles to make the tackle. Chu brings this same type of energy to the special teams. Runs down the field like a heat seeking missile and tackles the returner. Keep an eye on Chu this camp season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2178117"],"_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-69fb9e594fb66"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Couch measures in at 5'11 175-pounds. The safety for Broomfield had 23 total tackles (17 solo, 6 assisted), 1 TFL, with 4 PD. Couch has good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, change of direction, good speed, and jumping. Good read and reaction speed to diagnose run plays and assist. Good back pedal with a fluid torso. Couch has a knack for creating incompletions out in coverage. Uses his closing quickness and arm length to time up pass break ups. Very good tackling. Uses his strength to stop the ball carrier not allowing extra yards on the play. Keep an eye on Couch to thrive with more opportunities!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1352894"],"_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-69fb9e594fbcb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yoxey is a DB/P for Pueblo South. Measures in at 5'10 165-pounds. Last season, he accounted for 13 total tackles (8 solo, 5 assisted), 1 PD, 21 punts for 963 yards, 8 times inside the 20. Yoxey has good athletic ability due to good speed, acceleration, change of direction, and jumping. Good back pedal out of his stance. Good closing quickness and man coverage. Yoxey does a great job as a punter. Uses his good leg accuracy and kick power to flip the field and put his defense in good position. I'm intrigued to see how he continues to develop moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1696345"],"_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-69fb9e594fc29"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Overman is a SS/RB measuring in at 6'2 180-pounds. Great size with lengthy arms. Overman has good athletic ability due to very good stamina, good acceleration, change of direction, and speed. He's smooth and elusive when running the ball. Good vision too. As a defensive back, he does a good job at jamming and re-routing the wideout. Good back pedal and sticks to the WR. Overman stays stride for stride with the wideout and will use his lengthy arms to create pass deflections. Good read and reaction speed. Overman has shown to provide run support and assist with tackling. With an off-season refining his technique, he's a prime breakout candidate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1289281"],"_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-69fb9e594fc89"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yanney is a developing corner measuring in at 5'9 150-pounds. He has good athletic ability due to good acceleration, speed, change of direction, and jumping. Good jamming the WR and re-route attempts. Yanney demonstrates a good back pedal with solid torso fluidity. Does a great job in run support. Good block shedding and get off speed to disengage wideout blocks. Yanney gets low to tackle and makes sure the ball carrier stays down. With an off-season focused on refining his technique, I'm looking forward to see how he does this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
