He has a powerful set of legs that he uses to run through contact. He can push a pile and frequently requires multiple defenders to bring him down. I love his tenacity as a runner. He had a phenomenal season with 1,589 yards rushing and 13 total touchdowns. As of the time of this writing, he has no offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2263277"],"_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-6a6ca6ac41289"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Job Richman is a proven dual-threat quarterback who is second among returning starters in rushing. He can make plays with his legs and is a legitimate threat to score. The Class of 2027 QB is 6-foot-2, 180 pound, and has a quick release and solid arm to go with his legs. Richmond can make defenders miss in space and has good top-end juice. He finished last season with 1,736 rushing yards on offense and 20 touchdowns; in the passing game he was 60/108 for 1,336 yards and 20 touchdowns on just four interceptions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1333399"],"_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-6a6ca6ac41311"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sullivan running back Clark French is a very fast runner with good top-end speed. If he finds a crease in the open field, he can quickly break away from tacklers and knows how to score. Very quick and decisive, one-cut-and-go runner who can make the first defender miss. He finished last year with 1,803 yards rushing and 22 touchdowns.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1955213"],"_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-6a6ca6ac41383"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ty Benton has very good change-of-direction and loose hips. He can COD on a dime in space, very good acceleration and burst past the second level. Benton, at 5-foot-10, 180 pounds, is a lean tailback with time and room to grow, get bigger and stronger, and add bulk to his frame. He finished last year with 2,586 yards rushing and 27 touchdowns, and added 161 yards receiving.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
