<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Led by David Saenz, the Steele Knights are coming off an impressive 11-2 overall record and a perfect 6-0 finish in district play, establishing themselves as one of the top programs in the area. Steele showed consistency throughout the season, finding ways to win and proving they can handle the pressure of big games. With a strong culture in place and a roster ready to embrace new opportunities, the Knights enter 2026 with their sights set on continuing their success and making another deep playoff run. The expectation remains high as Steele looks to build on last season's momentum and compete for another district championship.

At offensive tackle, he brings the size, footwork, and toughness needed to compete at a high level. Fisher shows the ability to handle defenders in pass protection while also creating movement in the run game. His length and technique allow him to stay patient at the point of attack, and he continues to develop the consistency needed to become a reliable presence up front. With his recruitment picking up and more opportunities ahead, Fisher is a player who could continue climbing the radar this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>DEFENSE</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2253836"],"_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-6a6250d58d7c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wenzel is a player I'm interested to see take the next step this season, as he brings an impressive frame and plenty of upside to the Steele secondary.

His ability to stay with receivers, read plays quickly, and make plays in space separates him from others at his position. Jayden's coverage skills allow him to be trusted in multiple situations, giving the defense a valuable piece on the back end. As the season approaches, he will look to continue proving he can be one of the most reliable safeties on the field.

DJ is the field general of the Steele offense, bringing leadership, command, and confidence every time he steps on the field. He has the ability to control the pace of the game, make adjustments, and put his teammates in the best position to succeed.

What stands out about DJ is his ability to stay composed and make the right play when pressure is at its highest. He has the awareness to manage the offense, the arm talent to attack different areas of the field, and the playmaking ability to create opportunities when things break down.

Fisher has continued to draw attention as one of the top offensive line prospects to watch, holding offers from North Texas and UTSA. At offensive tackle, he brings the size, footwork, and toughness needed to compete at a high level. Fisher shows the ability to handle defenders in pass protection while also creating movement in the run game. His length and technique allow him to stay patient at the point of attack, and he continues to develop the consistency needed to become a reliable presence up front. With his recruitment picking up and more opportunities ahead, Fisher is a player who could continue climbing the radar this season.
