He is a very long and rangy athlete with consistent hands, chunks yardage downfield and can play on either side of the ball and can play various positions at the next level and his development will be interesting to watch. He should breakout this fall and will be one of the top players in the 2029 class across San Diego to keep a close eye on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2065940"],"_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-6a4d1f6146f56"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coleman is hands down one of the best 2029 prospects in the state and currently holds two offers from SDSU and Oregon State. He checks into our rankings at the top spot for running backs and is explosive, twitchy and has elite downfield speed in the clear while a natural pass catcher out of the backfield as well. He also flashes good vision in tight windows, cutback abilities and can run through arm/ankle tackles with good balance and is seemingly always falling forward. Heading into his second year at Baldwin Park, he should be near the top of the Southern section rushing rankings and could very well lead all 2029 backs in that category across California. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1908687"],"_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-6a4d1f6146fad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Robinson is a bit under-sized but can make a big impact at the D3+ level in college and is poised for a giant senior season for this loaded senior class they have. He is a downhill runner that can get vertical quickly, shake off tacklers in the hole and flashes start/stop abilities in the hole when making tacklers miss. The Senior does not shy away from contact nor step out of bounds in the open field and is a natural pass catcher out of the backfield as well or can lineup in the slot when needed. Robinson plays a lot bigger then his stature, is physical and fluid with the ball in his hands and one of the better backs in the southern section heading into the Fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":2239813,"_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-6a458322841d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Day is the next up and coming edge rusher from the Lancers and has a long and sturdy build with plenty of growth potential and ability to pack on weight over the next two years. Day shows he can get underneath and reset the line against bigger blockers, press and lock to hold the edge and is stout against the run with a high IQ and quick block recognition off the snap. He is also a very high motor guy that can pursue backside, is seemingly always around the ball and is one of the WCAL's new breakout names to know heading into the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
