He is stout inside, able to handle one-on-one blocks versus interior defensive tackles. Herbert plays with great leverage and displays his wrestling background when he's engaged in blocks. Herbert is one of the top pure center prospects in the class of 2025 in Illinois. His recruiting has been busy with visits this offseason and will take off as he enters his senior year this fall.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["537254"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='537254' first='Liam' last='Carney'] has a lot of length at the center position, standing at 6'5u0022. His rare length at the center position allows him to use his long levers to create separation from defenders. Carney is a good athlete on the offensive line; he moves really well in space, displaying quick feet. His size and athleticism provide a lot of versatility that could project him at multiple positions at the next level as well.","_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1250593' first='TJ' last='Woods']","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_weight":"260","_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":"Fenwick High School","_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1250593' first='TJ' last='Woods'] moved all over the line for Fenwick last year.

Woods is a solid pass protector, utilizing good technique and a strong punch. His future will be at the inside positions based on his strengths and size.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-662080c67ebb4"} /-->
