He holds four D1 offers, including Ohio, Miami (OH), Buffalo, and Eastern Kentucky. A solid athlete who can work up to the second level. Has a solid pop when engaging the defensive lineman. Mason is a good tackle prospect; however, I would like to see him put on a significant amount of weight to be able to play at the FBS level and play more aggressively. #9 MBA plays at #1 Baylor this Friday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1036114"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab5f1e65c03f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cayden is a 6'2, 200-pound quarterback for Briarcrest Christian. The three-star quarterback has offers from Baylor, Colorado, Memphis, Tulane, Liberty, and UT Martin. He has great touch on his throws, along with being able to place the ball in a spot where only his receiver can get it. Is a good athlete who can make plays with his legs when needed. His arm strength is solid; however, it could improve. #7 Briarcrest Christian plays at home against #3 Southwind on Friday night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1599115"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab5f1e65c089"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Malek is a 6'2, 180-pound athlete who plays both sides of the ball.

High-level concentration: being able to locate the ball and adjust mid-air. Malek is a high-IQ player with a ton of potential.

The junior safety runs a 4.49 40-yard dash and a 4.27 pro shuttle. As a sophomore, he was named to All-Region 1-5A. Overall, a high-level athlete with impressive body control. When given the ball in space, he has the speed and agility to make people miss while making big plays happen. #9 Sevier Co. travels to #21 Greenville on Friday night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
