He is a 6'3 215 lbs defensive end, earning all district honors as a sophomore. We missed him on our last 2028 rankings and that was an error on my part, this kid is too good. He is very physical at the point of attack and has next level strength. This should be a dominating defensive line across the board for the Hawks in the National district and it really starts with Williams. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Tysontaylor53/status/2066315868091425066?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/Tysontaylor53/status/2066315868091425066?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2218026"],"_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-6a8892817e6c1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of top returning players in the National District is [player_tooltip player_id='2218026' first='Oliver' last='Odom'], the rising senior was an all region selection last fall. Odom is kind of a game wrecker at defensive tackle, he is too fast off the snap for most guards to block him. If you double team him then you have to worry about the rest of the Hawks stout defensive line. Obtaining several division 3 offers he looks like a Division 2 or higher player to me. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/OliverOdom43221/status/1991658387445285163?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/OliverOdom43221/status/1991658387445285163?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2007653"],"_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-6a8892817e711"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tough linebacker who came into his own as a sophomore was [player_tooltip player_id='2007653' first='Jackson' last='Wood']. He fills the gap nicely and lays the hammer to each ball carrier. Wood has good speed sideline to sideline, he too has added on muscle this off-season and he looked stout in their scrimmage last week. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/jackwood2028/status/1987294965488099640?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/jackwood2028/status/1987294965488099640?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2341190"],"_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-6a8892817e7be"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Leiva was solid for the Hawks offensive line last year and has the making of a division 3 football player in my opinion. A student of the game that could be an all district honoree this year, I love when the Hawks use him at guard and he is their lead blocker. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/franklin_jose0/status/2026806448777232509?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/franklin_jose0/status/2026806448777232509?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1864341"],"_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-6a8892817e815"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Burroughs is already a baller and his only a sophomore, playing running back, defensive back and probably receiver this year. Isaiah's ranking into the 2029 class top 100 was earned, he did a lot for the Hawks offensively a year ago. Looking to pick up where he left off last fall, Burroughs looks bigger and stronger from his most recent scrimmage. I have a feeling Mount Vernon will be having a spy on him for their week 1 matchup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
