He is a elite athlete for the position, has no bad weight and the frame to continue packing on the right weight and should wind up at the P4 level by the time it's all said and done. He has heavy hands, great feet in his pass sets and shows violence when finishing blocks and the ability to scrape to the second level and cutoff linebackers/denters with ease. He passes the eye test for the P4 level at the tackle spot and should see some big time offers come in next off-season as he checks all the boxes in one of the regions top leagues.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2263583"],"_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-6a74d72df189f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Glenn is one of the top defensive back prospects in the bay area and checks into our rankings just outside the top 30 at the position in the entire state. He should have a breakout Junior season for this new look Ugly Eagles team and they should be a force to be reckoned with in the NCS playoff's come November. Glenn is a true ball-hawking safety with good ball skills and a feel for the game in the back end. He peddles well, breaks quickly to the ball and can come up and make tackles in space while showing excellent PBU skills and return abilities as well. Glenn is a extremely physical prospect that throws his body around in the run game and packs a punch at the POA while smooth in coverage and checks many boxes for the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2236086"],"_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-6a74d72df17d7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lloyd is a bit of a unknown prospect deep in northern California, but is going to have a breakout junior season and is one of the better players the region has to offer at the position. He is a big and physical tackle with a college frame and the ability to pack on weight with plenty of room to grow and develop over the next two seasons. He is a natural bender in his stance, gets out quickly and can create immediate vertical push with inside hands and a very strong base with the tools to sustain blocks and get to the second level. Although a still raw and developing prospect, he has nice upside for the position and should start drawing some D3+ college interest soon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2127912"],"_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-6a74d72df18f0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Arnold should takeover for the Pumas in his junior season and is a technically sound passer with strong mechanics and dual-threat abilities outside the pocket as well. Arnold can get the ball out quick with nice spin and velocity on the deep ball and also flashes the ability to throw on the run and from various angles under pressure. With his legs, he can burst through the first level, make tacklers miss in tight windows and has third level speed in the clear while doing a very nice job running the Wing-T system. Arnold is one of the better Junior passers across the north bay that no one really knows about and he should have a breakout season in 2026 and collect some end of the year honors. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
