Great first-step quickness off the edge makes it hard for opposing OTs to get an angle. Can stick his nose in a pile and wrap up. Quick to read and react on the move. Had two sacks in the first half, flashed being a good block shedder who takes great pursuit angles to the flat. Flashes being a big hitter. High-academic prospect. Also a long snapper.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2336733"],"_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-6a92cf65979d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2336733' first='Cooper' last='Yates'] was the key playmaker for the Tigers on Friday night, running all over Bowling Green in their big win. Compact-framed tailback can bounce off tacklers easily, runs with great contact balance and keeps legs moving for positive yards with good forward lean. Flashes very good vision and cutback. Proven dual-threat as he can catch, quickly get vertical and displays good instincts to follow blocks on screens.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2349189"],"_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-6a92cf6597a21"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The son of head coach Brian Landis had himself a game. Landis, a 5-foot-11, 180-pound receiver, is a solid route runner who can create on his own on the perimeter and has good hands in traffic. He flashes improved speed and juice after the catch compared to his sophomore year. Very physical RAC, runs through contact effectively and finishes forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2118200"],"_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-6a92cf6597a6c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Really enjoyed watching this guy. Obviously, tremendous size and has high potential. Has quicker feet than I thought he would have heading into the game. Very good run blocker who can roll his hips, drives his feet on contact and creates vertical push at the line of scrimmage. Good in pass pro, reads and reacts well to twists and stunts. Needs to work on developing hand placement, which tends to be outside the pads. Holds offers from Miami-Ohio, UT Martin and Toledo.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1686505"],"_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-6a92cf6597aac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1686505' first='Anthony' last='Davis'] played much better than his stat line would indicate. Davis had a couple of very on-target passes dropped in this game including two touchdowns that would have narrowed the margin considerably. Flashed very good accuracy on the deep ball with good anticipation, rhythm and timing in the short game. Still has a lot of learn, but if he figures it out, has a high ceiling.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
