A superb route runner, Thai knows how to find a hole in your defense and exploit it.  Can you imagine what Lake Braddock's high octane offense is going to look like next fall, this team may have 2/3 seniors who will be FBS level talents. Thai looks like he is ready to step in and shine, he has the speed, quickness and hands to do so, should be interesting to see what role he has next fall.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu0026nbsp;u003cbru003eu003cbru003ehttps://youtu.be/ND-tQtA5Uwc?si=s5iO2zzWfA-40HP_","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1176315"],"_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":"Linebacker [player_tooltip player_id='1176315' first='Blake' last='Goodrich'] plays the game with both a level of physicality and a high IQ which any coach will tell you is a winning combination. Similar to his teammate and good friend Jake, Goodrich has some wheels on him and has already run under a 4.8 40. Love the way he moves to the ball sideline to sideline, I think his ceiling for varsity football at Midlothian is at outside linebacker but will see. He has displayed already his good coverage skills and will also show his toughness in the run game.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2MNeS0u0022u003e[player_tooltip player_id='1176315' first='Blake' last='Goodrich'] HUDLu003c/au003e","_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1190059' first='Sultan' last='Nazary']","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'7u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_weight":"175","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Marshall","_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":"Enjoyed watching the tape of this young man, it was pretty evident in my opinion he can play both running back and linebacker for the Marshall Statesmen next season. He is stout physical runner with good leg strength, he may only be a freshmen but it does appear he will go down on an arm tackle. Nazary has a ton of power in his lower body, I can firmly believe that his squat max out is well above 300 lbs., the young man is strong. Defensively he has the speed and agility to play outside linebacker and possibly safety at the varsity level, I cannot see many skill position guys running past him. Looking forward to where he lines up in 2024, I  have a feeling will be hearing his name more come Fall.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu003ca href=u0022http://[player_tooltip player_id='1190059' first='Sultan' last='Nazary'] HUDLu0022u003e[player_tooltip player_id='1190059' first='Sultan' last='Nazary'] HUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"Wyatt Batdorf","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_weight":"183","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"McLean","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"McLean's Wyatt Batdorf looks like an offensive line coaches dream at times on his tape. While at guard Batdorf has quick feet and good power in his arms, he flies out of the snap to land the perfect block. Not a ton of exposure on this young man as of yet, but from what I have seen, he reminds me of a Jon Runyan type of lineman. A physical presence who you always see flying around everywhere until the whistle is blown (Sometimes after in Runyan's case).
