I'm impressed with Moore's speed and athleticism. Committing to Purdue, the Boilermakers staff is fired up about what he can do in a black and gold uniform. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1015480"],"_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-6a578ea700307"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1015480' first='Masyn' last='Chalfant'] out of Tri High School in Straughn returns as the third-leaing scorer overall with 132 points. At 6-foot-0, 215 pounds, Chalfant has good bulk and strength with a thick upper and lower half. Chalfant, whose team runs the double-wing offense, has the potential to have a breakout senior year. He is a bellcow tailback who rushed for 1,145 yards and 15 touchdowns last season; should be a four-year varsity starter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1600550"],"_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-6a578ea70032d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1600550' first='Landon' last='Snyder'] is a dynamic running quarterback for Mishawaka. Snyder is a consistent threat with his legs, with the ability to score and flashes good top-end speed with the ball in his hands. If he gets out into space, he can be gone in a flash. He is a surprisingly strong runner and maintains good contact balance in space, frequently requiring multiple defenders to bring him down. He finished with 274 passing yards and four passing touchdowns last year, but on the ground he had a 1,409-yard season with 21 total touchdowns.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1606662"],"_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-6a578ea700357"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1606662' first='Noah' last='Dove'] led all rising juniors in scoring last season with 120 points. While we don't have much film on the Eastside running back who also has played safety on defense, he does flash good change-of-direction, patience to follow blocks and good vision when he bounces into space and gets vertical. Dove projects to be a four-year varsity starter, having played since his freshman season. He recorded 1,001 yards rushing last year with 14 touchdowns to boot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
