He plays both safety and cornerback positions on defense. Keys has several Division I offers that include New Haven, Merrimack, Rhode Island, Maine, and Sacred Heart. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He plays a physical brand of football which really stands out when he comes downhill against both the run and pass. I like his closing speed a lot. Keys breaks up a lot of passes by running through the receiver just as the ball touches their hands. He does a great job of reading the quarterback's eyes, which helps him know where the ball is going and close the gap quickly. Keys has the cover skills of a cornerback</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2107873"],"_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-6a4f8a150f892"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Clark is one of the top returning offensive linemen in Class 4A. I love the way he explodes out of his stance regardless of whether it's a run play or passing play. The fact that he has several pancakes while he's both run- and pass-blocking says a lot about his consistency in being aggressive and winning at the point of attack. Clark is agile and is shown easily mirroring edge defenders that try to get around him in his junior-year highlights. Does a great job with hand placement as well. Most likely will be moved inside at the next level. Definitely finishes his blocks. Doesn't have long arms but does a great job of keeping defensive lineman at bay with what he has to work with. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1792533"],"_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-6a4f8a150f8cb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wright is getting a lot of recruiting attention from a few Ivy League schools at the moment. Yale, Princeton, and Columbia have all offered him within the past few weeks. Based on the highlights I watched from the 2025 season, his ceiling is higher on the defensive side of the football. The way he explodes off the ball stands out on film and gives him an immediate advantage at the snap. Does a nice job of generating pressure from inside gaps. Disengages quickly and is able to chase plays beyond whatever gap he's in. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2108417"],"_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-6a4f8a150f8fd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams made 57 total tackles (40 solo), sacked the quarterback four times, and recovered two fumbles last season. Not the biggest at his position but one who makes big plays for his team. The first three plays of his junior-year highlights show him causing the fumble, recovering it, and returning it for a touchdown. The fourth play shows him intercepting a pass in the end zone. It's his impact on the game that makes him someone that the offense has to keep an eye on. Williams is one of the more aggressive linebackers that you'll come across. He reacts to the football so fast that blockers barely get a chance to try and block him. Has great range and is consistently around the football. Has 80-plus tackle potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":2245915,"_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-6a528566915a6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Butler was not asked to throw the football a lot last season. He completed 39-of-69 passes for 540 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception last season. Flowers is primarily a running team, and he only passed the football more than 10 times in 4 out of 12 games last season. The short-to-intermediate passing game suits him well. It'll be interesting to see if he's given more opporutnities to throw the football this upcoming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Others to watch</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Zamaar Imhotep | 6-1 | 175 | Athlete | 2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Imhotep logged in some snaps at quarterback last season, completing 17-of-38 passes for 324 yards and two touchdowns.
