He measures in at 6'2 280-pounds. This past season, he had 26 pancakes with 28 total tackles (11 solo, 17 assisted), 5 TFL, with 3 sacks. Latta has a good initial quickness out of his stance with good hand speed to create contact first. He uses his good knee bend and flexibility to get a lower pad level than his opponent. Has very good hand placement, hand strength, and strength to get ahold of the defender and not let go. He'll push his opponent with ease creating lanes in the running game. Latta also has a very good anchor with his very good balance and body control. Good job readjusting and winning the reps. As a defender, he consistently wins against double teams and creates pressure on the QB. Very good get off and block shedding ability with good tackling skills. I'm very excited to see how he does this upcoming senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2221592"],"_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-6a59481359384"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I'm excited to see how Gabler does with a full-season under his belt. He did a great job last season filling in for an injured Zeke Andrews. The 6'3 195-pound QB threw for 31/43 for 440 yards, 72.1% completion rate, 9 TDs, 0 INT, with 21 carries for 151 yards in ONLY 3 games. Imagine what he can do with a full season under his belt. Exciting dual threat lefty QB. He has good athletic ability due to very good balance, acceleration, good speed, and change of direction. Very good throw power with a quick fluid release and throwing motion. Gabler display very good ball placement skills. Puts it right on the money, or in stride with his receivers. Very accurate and confident. Very good pocket presence avoiding pressure and finding the open man downfield with his good progression speed. If no one's open, he'll use his athleticism to hurt the defense. Watch out for Gabler.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1955273"],"_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-6a594813593e2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Moore has been a consistent running back for Lewis-Palmer. This past season, he had 1211 yards on 168 carries for 12 touchdowns. He displays good athletic ability due to very good balance, acceleration, good speed, and change of direction. Uses his very good vision to pick the correct hole and run through it. If his first gap is covered, uses dynamic jump cuts to pivot into the open hole. Very good inside running. Picks, slides, and accelerates. Good outside running.  Moore is a bruiser. He will drag defenders with him for extra yards or punish them with his stiff arm and strength. I'm intrigued to see how he ups his game his season and keeps putting up numbers with upper echelon running backs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1608637"],"_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-6a5948135943e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Deater measures in at 6'5 215-pounds playing TE/EDGE for Montrose. He has great size for both positions. Deater displays good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, jumping, good change of direction, and speed. Very good release at the line of scrimmage. Escapes hold up and looks for his QB in short yardage situations for the first down. He has good route running skills with crisp breaks. Deater consistently gets open in many ways. Uses his very good separation quickness to fight through contact, exploit zone voids, and outrun LBs at the top of the route. Deater has a great ability to track the ball and pluck it out of the air. Very good ball tracking and catching skills. Strong hands to hold onto the ball while getting hit. He's an exciting lengthy tight end who isn't afraid of getting his hands dirty in the run game.

Last season, he had 23 receptions for 345 yards with 2 touchdowns and 4 KR returns for 113 yards. He displays good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, change of direction, good speed, and jumping. Lewis excels at creating separation at the line of scrimmage. Uses his quick feet to beat the press jam and get open. Very good separation quickness. He'll out run the DB at the top of the route and come back to his QB during the scramble drill. Good ball tracking and catching. Uses his strong hands to rip the ball out of the air and uses good awareness to tuck it into his chest while falling down. Lewis also gets YAC with his speed and making defenders miss. Big season ahead for this young man.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
