Dallas is a very good run defender who takes great pursuit angles to the ball. He is a thumper in space, wraps up at the point of contact and is very instinctive when playing in the box. He had five tackles, two tackles for loss, and at 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, he has good size and strength with solid speed at the position. Holds 12 Division I offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["949526"],"_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-6a9e04b49c93e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lancaster Class of 2027 linebacker [player_tooltip player_id='949526' first='Jackson' last='Reynolds'] is one of the best prospects in central Ohio. So far, the 6-foot-3, 209 pound linebacker is really popping during his senior season. Reynolds displays great closing speed and outstanding instincts, flowing to the ball and taking great pursuit angles. He flashes great range and a very high motor, with good sideline to sideline speed and being a good lateral mover. One bright spot on a struggling team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1643015"],"_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-6a9e04b49c98f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bishop Hartley Class of 2027 linebacker [player_tooltip player_id='1643015' first='Asher' last='Rowley'] is a player I'll be keeping an eye on for the rest of the season. Rowley is a good block shedder who can wrap up and deliver big hits. He flows to the ball nicely v. the run and takes good angles to the ball. He has totaled 28 tackles and two tackles for loss and one quarterback hurry, and is also making a strong impact on offense as a blocking fullback.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2107332"],"_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-6a9e04b49ca16"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pickerington Central High School defensive back [player_tooltip player_id='2107332' first='Larry' last='Rowe'] is a very good run defender, with good eyes, instincts, and flows to the ball. He possesses very quick closing speed and flashes great range, as well as being a good open-field tackler. He currently does not have any college football offers at this time. Through three games, he has more than 20 tackles and one sack.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
