2029’s Catching My Eye This Summer

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I have watched more film this summer than ever before, especially on the underclassmen. This 2029 class is already extremely deep and has the potential to be a goldmine for high-level players. Below are a few of the many talented underclassmen in this group. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2147638"],"_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-6a56c3123e708"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I absolutely love what I saw out of Sterling when I watched his film. To start, he is incredibly physical. Multiple clips show him locking on and blocking to the whistle, and absolutely burying opponents. On top of that, he has the mobility to get out and execute blocks in space, including engaging linebackers in space and blasting huge holes in the defense. He has no trouble with his kick step, and is able to stay in front of a variety of rushers. He will face plenty of spectacular competition in the always competitive OK-Red, so the learning curve will be steep! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1593042"],"_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-6a56c3123e794"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It's extremely difficult to earn snaps at a place line Saline, but to do it as a freshman is even more impressive, but that's what Caleb was able to do. This fall, Caleb will expand his role and with that, I believe his production will skyrocket. He's a sideline to sideline kind of guy that can get out and move with the best of them. He reacts quickly and is able to rally to the football. Once he gets his hands on the ball carrier, he wraps up and doesn't allow any extra yardage. Saline has the chance to be a great story this fall, and Harris will be a major part of that! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2150617"],"_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-6a56c3123e7da"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I got the chance to see Mekhi this spring, and came away incredibly impressed. Despite being "undersized" compared to his teammates, this dude was lightning in a bottle. Offensively, he's a twitchy athlete that runs clean routes and uses his elite change of direction to win separation. Defensively, he uses that same fluid mobility and impressive bounce to contest everything thrown his way. On either side of the ball, his incredible ball skill shines through, and Green is able to come down with some exceptional catches. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1688916"],"_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-6a56c3123e811"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Danari was another great find this spring during 7 on 7 season. He has great command of the offense and understands how to take what the defense is giving him. Despite that, he still has no fear when ripping it down the field. No issue with arm strength and velocity. The footwork and throwing motion is far ahead of many others in his class, with some room for improvement still. Whether this fall is his time to shine or not is still TBD, but I will still be keeping a close eye on his development over the next few years! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1688216"],"_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-6a56c3123e847"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Everything about Dax screams insane upside. The elite frame is one thing, but when you pair it with the spectacular skill, you can't help but to be excited. Whether it's lining up in line or getting out in space, smaller and less skilled defenders just can't stop him. His frame still has plenty of maturing to do, so he will only become more of a problem for defenses. He possesses reliable hands and runs clean routes. Recent clips have shown vast improvement in footwork and overall agility. I am super curious to see what kind of role he will have this fall and what his production will be. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
