The RB had 26 carries for 177 yards with 4 touchdowns including 1 reception for 31 yards. He displays good athletic ability due to his very good balance, good acceleration, change of direction, and speed. Palmer is a bruising running back that thrives with more carries and as the game progresses. He'll use his good vision and very good inside running to thrash the defense for big gains. He's not afraid to get his shoulder down and run through defenders. Good stiff arm. Palmer's gaining momentum right when he needs it.</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-6aecb36ed0627"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wilson's continued his hot streak this season.

Good athleticism due to his very good balance, acceleration, good speed, and change of direction. Uses his very good throw power and quick release to precisely find receivers downfield. He doesn't put the ball in harms way. Very good accuracy throughout this event. Very good pocket presence, by staying poised under pressure and finding the open man downfield. Very good ball placement skills. Wilson used his scramble ability and legs to also hurt the defense. He's put together a great senior season and is helping elevate his team to new heights.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["826250"],"_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-6aecb36ed064b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Montoya measures in at 6'3 200-pounds.

He displays good athletic ability due to his very good jumping, acceleration, good balance, speed, and change of direction. Very good release. Does a great job beating the press jam with his 1,2 shake and fighting off physical DBs. Very good separation quickness. Montoya will find voids in zones, use his speed to outrun defenders or fight re-route attempts. Very good ball tracking, catching, ball adjustment, and body control. He does all the things you want from a receiver even blocking too. Gets down and dirty to create running lanes for his back. Exciting receiver that keeps showing up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1110195"],"_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-6aecb36ed066b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pettit measures in at 6'2 190-pounds playing W/S/KR for Castle View.

Christopher has explosive speed and it shows on his limited carries at the running back position. Very good stamina to keep his speed throughout a run. Smooth vision to find the gaps and jump cut to open ones. As a LB, he has good read and reaction skills. Will put his arms up to create pass deflections. Christopher has good tackling ability and good strength. He's a good two-way player who's proved himself.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
