He was able to post some solid stats but was efficient throughout the season, being able to thread the needle and not turning the ball over was key for his progression this season. He ends his senior season showing his ability to make things happen and limiting turnovers by throwing 28 TDs with only 6 INTs.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["405000"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Conway was able to use his explosiveness and create some separation with his route running ability. He has great hands and showed his ability to make difficult catches in traffic as well. He was able to increase his catches from last season to this season and was able to punch it in 15 times both seasons. He will look to build on that going into the offseason and the Golden Eagles will look to bounce back next season.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Kyler Vaughn","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Grandview High School","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Vaughn was an under the radar receiver that was able to show up when his number was called. In the lose to Chatfield he was able to get into the endzone 1 time on a tipped pass that he was able to haul in and take for 80 yards. He was able to use his speed throughout the season and made some things happen after catches. He will be a player to watch this offseason.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["251217"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Miller was apart of a two-headed monster that the Eagles leaned on throughout the season. He was a power back that was able to punch it in whenever his team got close to the redzone. He gave up some carries this season to his back mate as he was needed more on defense but was still able to make an impact. He will be a player that will make a big impact for his next team at the next level.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["475378"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Lawrence was an elusive back throughout the season and kept that going throughout the playoffs. He was able to make things happen in the open field and also use his speed to break away. He has good vision and can follow his blocks bursting through the hole. He is able to be physical and break through arm tackles at times as well. He was one of the top back in 5A this season and will look to continue that momentum, being at the top again next season.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-655c277a943a8"} /-->
