Folck is a very good run blocker who runs his feet on contact, bulls back and dents opposing linemen, and drives defenders off the ball. He has great first-step quickness and is very physical around the goal line, also a good puller who can shoot through gaps on power/counter runs and hits somebody at the second level. He plays with high effort. Picked up offers from Northwood and Indianapolis over the past two weeks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1635587"],"_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-6a2ab097ae3bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1635587' first='Tony' last='Brooks'] is a tough, rugged and strong offensive lineman for Crown Point. The 6-foot-3, 250 pounder is very physical. Brooks has a quick first step and is a good puller in the run game who can latch, find someone to block at the second level and drive his feet on contact. Really love his tenacity and effort. Grand Valley State is his first offer. He is a key returning starter for Crown Point who is looking to get back to the state championships this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2226353"],"_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-6a2ab097ae40d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lawrence North High School offensive tackle [player_tooltip player_id='2226353' first='Luke' last='Tatum'] is a physical blocker who can seal off the corner, create lanes for LN's explosive running backs such as [player_tooltip player_id='632393' first='Izayveon' last='Moore'], and be very physical. Tatum, at 6-foot-3, 260 pounds, likely moves to guard at the next level. He picked up an offer from Indianapolis over the past week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2226357"],"_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-6a2ab097ae45a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2226357' first='Derrion' last='Goodwin'] is a big man with good size and mass to hold the point of attack as a defensive lineman.
