He's physical and shows violent snaps, ending plays quickly. He drives his feet off contact and finishes with his power and can clear out an area on any given snap.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["852080"],"_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-6a828aa55fccf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Columbus Rank: 5th</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I've covered Andyriq plenty over the seasons. He's a home-run hitter who gives you production as both a pass catcher and a runner. He's got the burst and contact balance you want in a D1 running back. There is no question about his ranking as the state's number one overall running back in our 2027 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1602661"],"_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-6a828aa55fcae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Columbus Rank: 4th</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Davis has grown a ton over the years and will look to be the most dominant offensive lineman in the state. The Buckeye commit moves very well and is a physical blocker who runs his feet off contact. His hand usage is great as a pass blocker, and overall, Davis is just a nasty guy to try to get through as a defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1296450"],"_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-6a828aa55fc89"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Columbus Rank: 3rd</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reinaldo has also grown a ton over the years and has been rewarded with an offer and commitment to the reigning and defending national champion Hoosiers. His explosiveness and athleticism are his best traits. He pairs that with a relentless motor to finish plays. He is a balanced prospect in the run/pass game, but can develop into a stud interior rusher on passing downs at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1526768"],"_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-6a828aa55fc5c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Columbus Rank: 2nd</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Collin has kept the 2027 QB1 title for quite a while and will likely finish with it as he comes to his senior season. Collin is a true dual-threat quarterback with physical traits you can't teach. He does a great job of driving the ball downfield and leads his guys in stride over the middle of the field. He's a tough kid who can take a hit and seems to have that "it" factor you can't teach.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1620635"],"_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-6a828aa55fbfb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Columbus Rank: 1st</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jordan has amazed me every time I have seen him live. He's a big target who can play as a receiver or tight end. As a blocker, he does a good job using his size and sealing properly. As a receiver, he's got tremendous size and the ability to win contested balls with his verticality. He also plays edge for DeSales, showcasing great burst and a powerful lower half that lets him run through tackles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
