Measuring in at 5'11 175-pounds, Payne has been on fire this season. Last game, he had 29 carries for 310 yards with 5 touchdowns, putting his season total to 71 carries, 659 yards, with 10 touchdowns. Payne has very good athletic ability due to his very good change of direction, balance, speed, and acceleration. Payne has very good vision. Very good inside running. Payne will pick, slide, and accelerate into the open hole. If a gap is closed, he'll pivot into an open one and gash the defense for a big gain. Very good outside running too. Payne turns the corner and uses his speed to run down the sidelines into the endzone. Payne is a back that thrives with more carries. He'll run over defenders with his strength and trucking. Displays a powerful stiff arm to hold defenders at bay too. I'm very impressed with how he's running and with performances like these will continue to boost up scouts' boards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1430383"],"_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-6aa80864b0d15"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wilson has been precise and careful with the football all season, not throwing a single interception. The 6'0 175-pound QB went 20/28 for 337 yards, 71.4% completion rate, 2 TDs, 0 INT, with 9 carries for 49 yards with 1 touchdown. Wilson is a dual-threat QB, that can beat the defense with his arms and leg. He has good athletic ability due to very good balance, acceleration, good change of direction and speed. Good release and very good throw power. Wilson has demonstrated very good accuracy throughout this entire season. Good pocket presence. Uses his feet to evade pressure and can run for the first down. On a scoring play, he stepped up in the pocket throwing the ball downfield for a 65-yard touchdown pass. Demonstrates very good ball placement on that throw, throwing it in stride with his receiver. Wilson looks poised and confident, and it's showing on gameday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1262473"],"_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-6aa80864b0d6b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Leopardi measures in at 5'11 155-pounds. He had 3 receptions for 103 yards, and the previous week, he had 4 receptions for 193 yards with 2 touchdowns. Coming off back-to-back 100-yard performances, Leopardi is due to be talked about. He has good athletic ability due to his very good speed, jumping, good change of direction, and acceleration. Leopardi displays very good release at the line of scrimmage. Uses his quick feet to beat the press jam and quick cuts to break into his route. Very good separation quickness. Whether its fighting through contact, finding an open void, or using his athletic ability to outrun receivers, Leopardi has consistently been getting open. Very good ball tracking and catching. Very good ball adjustment and body control. Once the ball is in his hands, he uses his speed and elusiveness to make defenders miss out in the open space. Look out for Leopardi!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2366259"],"_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-6aa80864b0db8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Carter had a wild game against Niwot. He had 46 carries for 309 yards with 4 touchdowns averaging 6.7 yards per carry. Carter's legs were a driving factor behind Summit's win. Carter displays good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, balance, good change of direction, and speed. Very good vision. Carter mixes between weaving and running through defenders. Picks, slides, and accelerates into the open hole. Very good inside running. Carter will run through a gap with ferocity, putting his shoulder down to run through linebackers. He was consistently gaining yards after contact throughout the night. Using his balance, trucking, or a stiff arm, Carter was bulldozing his way through defenders. He'll need some extra rest after this type of performance, and is putting himself on the radar!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1262439"],"_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-6aa80864b0e21"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Burt measures in at 5'11 165-pounds. He had 7 receptions for 87 yards in the 21-0 win against Mead. Burt displays very good athletic ability due to his very good acceleration, speed, change of direction, jumping, and balance. Very good release. Burt uses a 1,2 shake release and gets off the line of scrimmage with explosive acceleration. Great job beating the press jam and re-route attempts. Burt has very good separation quickness. He'll use his athletic ability to outrun defenders at the top of the route, strength to outmuscle defenders, or will find an open void to exploit. Burt also uses his mental processing to come back to his QB during the scramble drill for an easy completion. Burt has very good ball adjustment skills. Great over the shoulder adjuster as well. Very good ball tracking and catching. Plucks the ball out of the air, and uses his strong hands to hold onto the ball while getting hit. Whenever his QB needed him, Burt was open for the completion. Good blocking skills too. He's developing into a complete receiver.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
