He is a smooth player with good recovery length and speed if beat, can play physical on the perimeter and tackles well in space while showing he can trigger on the outside. having a strong frame and good size already, he should do well at the FBS level and is one of the top breakout candidates to watch this fall from around the region and has already picked up offers from UNLV and UT-Permian Basin.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/calebnochill/status/2054309785932017796?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/calebnochill/status/2054309785932017796?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Jackson Fader","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"290","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Mission Hills ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a0bf5348a7e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fader is another spring riser that has very nice Junior season tape and should slide inside in college as a plus athlete for the position and moves extremely well for his size. He is strong and powerful at the POA, plays with inside hands and a strong punch and shows he can run his feet through contact, get to the second level to cutoff defenders and is a high IQ player in pass protection while showing he can can win with both leverage and initial strength/sustaining blocks at the first two levels. He picked up an offer from New Mexico and should see a slew of other FBS/FCS programs come in and make a push.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JacksonFader77/status/2054951445544517896?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JacksonFader77/status/2054951445544517896?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Drew Cumby","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"185","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"St. Francis ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a0bf5348a863"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cumby is one of the top 2028 signal callers in all of northern California and is a very athletic passer that can buy time with his feet and spread the ball around downfield with zip on the ball and proper placement/touch over the top. He can deliver on time strikes downfield with a quick release and make off-platform throws from various different angles outside the pocket. Cumby is a quick processor when pressure is in his face and can replace defenders with the ball while also showing he can throw receivers open downfield and is not afraid to tuck it and run when needed. He should be one of the top passers across the CCS at the end of the 2026 season and really start to see his stock rise soon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/DrewCumby/status/2056418044512231933?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/DrewCumby/status/2056418044512231933?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1688221"],"_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-6a0bf5348a8ac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Duff is a still developing edge rusher but has the frame, length and upside for the next level as he continues to develop and pack on weight through his senior year. He is a long and rangy edge player that can get off the ball quickly, shoots his hands when working half a man and can squeeze and take on pullers with ease while very high IQ in the run game and is stout against the run. He plays with a consistent motor when collapsing the pocket, shows some good bend underneath bigger tackles while able to win with both speed and power around the corner. Duff has really been flying a bit under the radar so far but should have a breakout senior season and be drawing plenty of college attention then.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/DamianDuff8_/status/1992527384353071181?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/DamianDuff8_/status/1992527384353071181?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
