<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's continue our look at some defensive backs who have been catching the eye this season. Who are they? Let's dive in.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1128696"],"_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-6ab89220c95c6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cash is an excellent athlete and he has found his home as a defensive back. He has good hip fluidity and does well with twitchy receivers. He shows good speed and acceleration to his game. He does a good job of disrupting passing lanes and uses his ball skills by making a play on the ball. He's a defensive back who doesn't take unnecessary risks and uses his athletic traits to make a play. He's still getting better with each passing week and should see offers come his way, he's been a player who has always shown talent, and just needed to find a position to call home and he has done so this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2209901"],"_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-6ab89220c960b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Synic was a player who I saw in the offseason and he immediately caught the eye. He is uber athletic, has great hips and does a good job of making a play on the ball. He found a home at LCA and has been put in a good situation as a defensive back where he can use his speed and athleticism to make plays. He does an excellent job of sticking to a receiver's hip pocket and when a ball comes his way, he is great at making a play on the ball. He has the speed and length to play at the boundary spot but having him as a nickel slot corner where he can shut down twitchy receivers is where his home will be for immediate playing time on Saturdays. He is a defensive back who should receive late offers; he's a true gem and a D1 talent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1566229"],"_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-6ab89220c9631"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lester is one of the best athletes in the 2028 class and he is an impact player in all three phases of the game. As a safety, he shows great range and closing speed. As the deep safety he is excellent at limiting big plays and is a ball hawk. He is an excellent returner and is great with the ball in his hands where he can create and use his vision to map out open lanes and where he can make defenders miss. On offense, he is used as a chess piece, get him in motion, used in the backfield where he can use his creativity to win. He has good speed, and clean footwork, so it transitions well as a receiver and he can win at all three levels. He's one of the more underrated prospects in the 2028 class and should see an uptick in P4 offers; he's a bona fide talent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2149176"],"_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-6ab89220c9653"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lii is quickly becoming one of the better defensive backs in his class. He has good length, and hip fluidity. He's an athletic defensive back who is a ball hawk and has good body control and is a defensive back who can play in any scheme. He shows good acceleration and does well against some of the best receivers in the state. He isn't afraid to get physical and help out in the run game and he is a defensive back who is going to be a riser in the class, he is blossoming and becoming one of the better defensive backs in the class, he has all the tools to be an FBS recruit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Those were some prospects to know. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
