Mayer is a high motor kid they can make tackles sideline to sideline, shows closing speed and the ability to track down ball carriers backside. He is an excellent open field tackler that takes the proper angles and collapses quickly when rushing the passer and packs a punch the point of attack running through contact and playing with violent intentions. He is a plus athlete for a linebacker and should fit nicely at the Will position at the next level and should be closing in on his first offer soon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1197326"],"_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-6a2069c375baa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coleman is one of the top tacklers in Southern California and has been one of the best at his position for quite some time now. He flys around and is always near the ball, showing closing speed/good change of direction and packs a punch at the point of attack when he fits into the backfield. He's a highly instinctual player that has a nose for the football and can quickly get off blocks, apply pressure from various angles and checks a lot of boxes for the inside linebacker position in college. He has been flying under the radar up to this point and is another kid that should start drawing plenty of college attention soon enough.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1382579"],"_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-6a2069c375c01"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Taylor is a very intriguing prospect with elite length and upside at the next level and should fit nicely as a outside linebacker/designated pass rusher in college. From his edge position he has a quick first step, can shoot his hands and dip under blockers quickly and shows the ability to redirect and win with both speed and power at the point of attack while able to hold and set the edge and punch off blocks. Taylor is a plus length prospect with room to grow and develop technically, but is a very interesting project that holds nice upside once he gets to the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1197601"],"_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-6a2069c375c54"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sanchez can either play on the edge or as a inside linebacker in college and is a very good overall football player with a high IQ and plays with violent intentions. Off the edge, he has a quick first step get off, is able to quickly reset the line while showing heavy hands, a violent disengage and collapses into the backfield quickly. He shows he can win with both speed and power around the corner and has a variety of pass rush moves in his toolbox to win against bigger tackles. Sanchez is one of the top returning players across the WCAL and is a defensive player of the year candidate in the loaded league. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
