He is a throwback runner that looks for contact in the hole, has strong vision in tight windows, cutback abilities against flow and is a violent runner with natural forward lean, leg drive through tacklers and can make people miss in the hole with contact balance and twitch. He is also a natural pass catcher out of the backfield or in the slot with strong hands and tracking abilities. Curoso is a elite prospect that has been flying under the radar but should draw plenty more P4 attention/offers in the coming months. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1197275"],"_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-69fa65381882c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Recent Offers: </strong>SDSU </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>Notes: </strong>McDonald is explosive and fun to watch on tape and can make a big impact in all three phases of the game and has had a tremendous three years at the prep level so far.
