Last season, [player_tooltip player_id='1398274' first='Carson' last='Martin'] broke his collarbone and missed the rest of the season. Last night, he went out and balled out in his 1st start of the season. He is a classic dual-threat quarterback, and he made plays all night with his legs and his arm. He has a chance to be a breakout star for Ephrata this season. His ability to make plays with his legs is impressive, as he is a good athlete. He also throws a good ball on time. I expect a monster season from Martin. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Junior Season Highlights (2.5 games played) 32/54 502 passing yards, 8 passing touchdowns. 111 Rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown. <a href="https://t.co/LyAlHOXrCn">pic.twitter.com/LyAlHOXrCn</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1398274' first='Carson' last='Martin'] (@CarsonM_10) <a href="https://x.com/CarsonM_10/status/2021617363548782870?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 11, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1926200"],"_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-6a9421bf5d994"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1926200' first='Adriel' last='Baez'] had a great game last night for Muhlenberg.

He was a sophomore quarterback who had senior playmakers around him. This season, he is counted on to be the key playmaker. Even in a loss, Baez was spectacular. He had two touchdown passes and threw the ball well all night. He has improved his mechanics and footwork a ton from last season. He also looks stronger. He is also a good runner. He is extremely difficult to tackle in the open field. Baez is in line for a huge season this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">From last night&#039;s <a href="https://x.com/muhlsd?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@muhlsd</a> / <a href="https://x.com/CocalicoSports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CocalicoSports</a> game seen on the Muhl Sports Network, Kalib Perez makes a great TD catch from [player_tooltip player_id='1926200' first='Adriel' last='Baez'].<a href="https://x.com/RobFlowers5?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RobFlowers5</a> <a href="https://x.com/MuhlenbergFball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MuhlenbergFball</a> <a href="https://x.com/hashtag/Highschoolfootball?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Highschoolfootball</a> <a href="https://x.com/hashtag/Muhlenberg?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Muhlenberg</a> <a href="https://x.com/hashtag/Cocalico?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Cocalico</a> <a href="https://t.co/o1c3ire2c3">pic.twitter.com/o1c3ire2c3</a></p>&mdash; Jerry Geleff Media (@JGMediaUS) <a href="https://x.com/JGMediaUS/status/2093763547293425850?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 29, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1942294"],"_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-6a9421bf5d9ed"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1942294' first='Mayson' last='Mitchell'] continues to show why he is one of the better quarterback prospects in the 2029 class.
