He is a true edge rusher with a quick first step into the backfield, heavy hands to press the LOS and can consistently knife into the backfield and make plays behind the line or at the mesh. Glover has a quick use of hands and hips at the top of his rushes and shows closing speed and good pursuit backside while able to redirect and make plays in space. Overall, he is a tough and physical prospect with tremendous movement and twitch off the edge and should wind up as a late FCS steal by the time the season comes to a close. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":2255760,"_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-6a669450438aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Everette is committed to Idaho State and is coming off a breakout Junior season and is poised for a monster senior year for Deer Valley. The Liberty-Brentwood transfer is part of an already loaded Dear Valley defensive front and he is a very nice addition heading into 2026. He is a twitchy and explosive interior rusher that can lineup anywhere and provides a consistent pass rush with quick hands and a relentless motor when collapsing the pocket. He snaps out of his stance with good leverage and heavy hands, shows he can eat double teams and set the edge against bigger tackles and should be a 10+ sack guy by the time his Senior campaign comes to a close and should be very successful in the Big Sky conference. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":2255758,"_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-6a6694504396b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kovacs is one of the top Junior passers heading into this season across the Bay Area, and made the transfer over to Cal high from near by Amador Valley to finish up the last half of his prep career. He is a big bodied signal caller with a live arm and good mobility in and out of the pocket while showing he can throw on a rope and on the run while having downfield arm talent and a quick release/processing. He is a high IQ kid that moves through his progressions, leads his receivers open downfield and is tough to take down in the pocket with escapability and poise to stand tall before delivering. He should really breakout as a junior this year and is a key name to note amongst NCS passing leaders. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":2255763,"_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-6a66945043a5a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gilbert is another one of the top two-way guys across the NCS and is going to have a stellar senior season for Miramonte. He is a highly instinctual and ball-hawking safety prospect with a good feel for the game and seemingly always around the ball making plays on the outside and triggering quickly. He tackles well in space while excellent in zone coverage while having disciplined eyes and is a natural peddler and snappy in transition with recovery speed if beat and good ball skills at the POA. He should find his home as a safety in college and is one of the top athletes to keep a eye on across the section this Fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
