He is a well built kid especially for a Sophomore, and shows elite acceleration through the first level with third level breakaway speed and is extremely tough to bring down in the open field. He looks for contact when finishing runs, and can run through arm/ankle tackles while knowing when to cut it back against the flow or bounce it outside. Also a natural pass catcher downfield, he does tons of damage out of the backfield in the passing game, while quickly getting upfield and sticking his toe in the ground. He holds offers from Nebraska, Stanford, UNLV, Utah and SDSU and will be a national recruit by the time it's all said and done.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65e0d5de5a28e"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1182943"],"_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_0_evaluation":"Meeks enters into our rankings as a top five back in his class and just outside the top 100 overall in our updated rankings. He is one of the most explosive players in the valley, and is an upright runner with elite speed downfield and good contact balance in the box with a strong initial burst through the first level. Meeks is a true north and south runner that can get into the clear in a hurry, and shows he can bounce off tackles, gain tough yards after contact and has some impressive wiggle for someone his size. He has one offer currently from Nevada, and it should not be long until other MWC offers roll in for the talented '26 prospect.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65e0d5de5a2f4"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1182990"],"_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_0_evaluation":"Williams is a bit of an undersized back, but has short area wiggle in tight windows and shows good vision in traffic while doing a nice job at following his blockers into the open field with an open field gear. He checks into our updated rankings just inside the top 200 overall, and a top ten back in his class across California and put up some big time numbers for Hesperia in 2023. Look for Williams to be one of the top offensive weapons in the region this Fall, and should collect college interest through his final two prep football seasons.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65e0d5de5a366"} /-->
