<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's take a look at Friday Night lights and the game that we attended live. Who were some impact performers?<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1690997"],"_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-6aa8b98c7f711"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jake has added on great size to his frame and should get to 6'5-6'6 and with his frame, should get to about 210 lbs. He's an effortless thrower with exceptional mechanics. The ball jumps out of his hands and he shows pinpoint accuracy. Jake makes every throw you want to see and can dot the field with ease. He's a quick processor and gets to his second and third reads with ease. An under rated aspect to his game is his athleticism. He moves well, shows good lateral quickness and runs a 4.64 at the Under Armour camp this past spring. That mobility translates to the field as he does a good job of escaping pressure and biding additional time. He's a signal caller who can run any kind of offense and is an elite prospect who has all the traits to be the best signal caller in the nation for the 2029 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1315270"],"_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-6aa8b98c7f7ac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cash has great footwork and release package. He is slippery in coverage and separates with ease. He tracks the ball well, is strong at the catch point, and has strong hands. He has great hip fluidity and is buttery smooth in and out of his breaks. He's a receiver who is being slept on in recruiting, and he is a prospect that will be a Power Four starter. Cash is a high level prospect, and his recruitment should be picking up. He is a versatile receiver who can line up at the boundary or slide into the slot if needed. He routinely beat double coverage against Layton, and perhaps the simplest way to describe him is that the entire stadium knows he's the primary target in high leverage situations, and the opposing defense still can't stop him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1880421"],"_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-6aa8b98c7f83e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Luke is an athletic prospect with great instincts and feel for the game. He's asked to be a two way performer, and as a running back, he shows good vision and has the lateral quickness needed. He shows good contact balance and is a runner who brings juice to the offense. His home is as a backer, and he does a good job of shedding his blocks and finding his way to the ball. He has a good frame and will continue to add mass to it. He's a prime candidate to be a transfer up prospect and jumping up a level due to his high ceiling. There's lots of tools to like, and he is a late developing prospect who has the traits to play on Saturdays. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["944763"],"_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-6aa8b98c7f8cf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Noah has great athleticism and overall speed. He's found his home as a safety and he shows great range and closing speed. He tracks the ball well and does a good job of eliminating big plays. Against Layton, he made a big special teams play with a punt block return for touchdown. He has a great ceiling and can make an impact on defense and on special teams. He'll be playing on Saturdays. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Those were some players to know. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
