Earning 2nd team all district honors, Aayden needs to be a focal point of the Lions offense. One of the top receivers in the conference, he is an expert at high pointing the football. Really smooth route runner too, Oh is someone you need to gameplan against. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/aaydenoh3/status/1993041459508072523?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"x","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/aaydenoh3/status/1993041459508072523?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2343408"],"_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-6a8b7a836f99d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Farmer had some nice moments last year at running back for the Lions and looks poised to be their lead back this fall? Fairfax has been known as a run first team and with Coach Taylor back on the sidelines I would expect [player_tooltip player_id='2343408' first='Dwayne' last='Farmer'] to get a lot of carries each week. He runs downhill with good vision, I counted at least 6 rushing touchdowns last fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Dwayne_Farmer28/status/2010430630841262357?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"x","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Dwayne_Farmer28/status/2010430630841262357?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2143225"],"_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-6a8c3f98d146b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It would appear that sophomore quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='2143225' first='Javier' last='Velazco'] is next in line to take control under center for the Lions. He has impressed this off-season ranking 156th overall in the 2029 class. He throws a pretty deep ball and seems to thrive moving around in the pocket. This could be a welcomed change for Fairfax offense as Velazco could be their starter for the next three seasons. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1827824"],"_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-6a8c417c7bff6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Really hoping that lacrosse star [player_tooltip player_id='1827824' first='Ben' last='Taylor'] is back healthy for Fairfax's defense as he enters his senior year. He can be a force in the middle and was an all district selection two years ago, I haven't seen a ton of the Lions off-season tape so not sure if Taylor is back in the fold yet. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1693505"],"_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-6a8c5fbfeb8db"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I remember being informed about [player_tooltip player_id='1693505' first='Malek' last='Rashad'] last year, he is hard to miss at 6'3 and 275 lbs.. Not a ton of tape from this past season on him but assuming he is healthy again, Rashad could be a force along the Lions defensive line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
