<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Round One of the Tennessee high school football playoffs provided plenty of opportunities for prospects to make a statement under the bright lights. Several players saw their stock rise with their round one postseason performances. In this edition, I will highlight the players who made an impression and how they strengthened their position as prospects to watch moving forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The List:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1137650"],"_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-6af528b8089ab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Last Friday night, Woodard had 10 tackles and two interceptions.

Woodard will need to gain some serious weight before college so he can hold his own against bigger and stronger receivers at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1641243"],"_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-6af528b8089e3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Malik caused two turnovers for his team, with one forced fumble and one interception, showing he can create big plays on defense to get the ball back into the offense's hands. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dean Jr is another player with great ball skills, attacks the ball at its highest point and can create big plays after the ball is in his hands.
