He was named Team Captain, All-State LB, and All-Region RB. He has good anticipation and patience as a player. On offense, he allows his blocks to develop and has good burst through the hole with good balance to keep his feet moving against arm tackles and will fall forward when brought down. On defense, he has good zone coverage processing and knows where to be to make a play on the ball. He can shed the blocks of WRs and make an open-field tackle.rnrnu003cemu003eu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/profile/11582355/Beau-Bayloru0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 rel=u0022noopeneru0022u003eHudlu003c/au003e / u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/beaubaylor1u0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 rel=u0022noopeneru0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003eu003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1231438' first='Nolan' last='Dalton']","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Radford HS | Radford, VA","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003eNolan was the man in the middle of Radford's 15-0 State Championship team.

He plays with good pad level and can stay under defensive linemen in run blocking. He shows good ability in Zone, Base, and Double-Team Blocks. He has good anticipation for releasing off a double-team to block the LB with good angles to the point of attack.

He is asked to Base block, Pull block, Double-Team block, and block at the second level. He is able to engage and then refit his hands creating good block sustain, and he has the strength to finish his blocks putting the defender on the ground.rnrnu003cemu003eu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/profile/16128740/Logan-Candisu0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 rel=u0022noopeneru0022u003eHudlu003c/au003e / u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/Loganx65u0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 rel=u0022noopeneru0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003eu003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["870458"],"_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":"u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=u0022trueu0022u003eBurke is a sophomore and is someone who you will want to keep an eye on for the next two seasons.

He has developed good route-running skills and can vary his release speed to keep DBs off balance. He has very good acceleration and burst out of cuts which allow him to get deeper than safeties. He has good hands and ball skills, can adjust to balls thrown outside of his frame, can highpoint a ball, and then quickly convert himself into a runner. He has very good lateral quickness and agility with good COD which allows him to force mistakes in open space and weave in and out of traffic. When he finds open space, he can find the next gear and outrun most DBs he will face. u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cemu003eu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/profile/18376065/Burke-Fournieru0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 rel=u0022noopeneru0022u003eHudlu003c/au003e / u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/burke_fournieru0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 rel=u0022noopeneru0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003eu003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1235212' first='Aaron' last='Patterson']","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Brentsville District HS | Nokesville, VA","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Aaron was limited to just 6 games this year, but his film still shows some very nice things.

He has a gliding backpedal and good change of direction in and out of his cuts. He plays well in off coverage where he can can read the QB and come downhill to to make a play and secure a tackle. His limited film as a running back shows speed and quickness as a runner on offense, with good burst and acceleration.
