From his wide receiver position, Minor caught 54 passes for 760 yards (14.1 yards per catch) and eight touchdowns last season. Minor's ability to sell double-move's is impressive.

He's a hybrid strong safety/linebacker for GM and truly flies to the football. Uses his speed to his advantage coming off the edge and is able to chase down quarterbacks and plays from behind. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2165934"],"_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-6a64f40bd0165"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Plater was a big contributor on both sides of the football field for Great Mills last season.

Defensively, he made 40 total tackles (16 solo, eight tackles for a loss). Definitely has a nice little burst, hits the second level in a hurry. Runs hard and gives out punishment at the end of runs. feet moving in traffic and abl to make defenders miss in tight spaces. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":2255063,"_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-6a64f40bd01bf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Randolph finished his sophomore-year season with 32 tackles (11 of them for a loss) and eight sacks. Undersized but makes up for it with an explosive first step, tenacity, and a high motor. Does a solid job of disengaging quickly from blocks and has proven himself as a pass-rusher. Closes in quickly once he identifies the football. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
