He's a poise pocket passer with good mobility and trusts his line to protect him. Competes hard and plays with confidence, Yonkovic works with exceptional anticipation, spinning the ball with good accuracy and velocity. His touch and placement aren't bad as he can put the ball in some tight spots. He's decisive, operating with a quick-trigger release to challenge defenses in the quick game. He can extend the play and win on the move with his arm. Possesses the elusiveness to escape the pocket and scramble for yards. As a runner, he brings some good acceleration and vision in the open field. A hard runner who knows how to make defenders miss, Yonkovic is a playmaker in all facets of the game and can pop off any play. Yonkovic went 1K in both passing and rushing, showing he can do it all. If he continues to build off this, we'll see another stellar performance like such. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2023 Stats: 1445 Passing Yards, 12 TDs, 5 Interceptions, 1559 Rushing Yards, 25 TDs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16204273/65b460b46899720ba4dadd92">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16204273/65b460b46899720ba4dadd92</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1529022' first='Zayvion' last='Ellington'] ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"176","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Sergeant Bluff-Luton ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66aa1259515df"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ellington gets it done on both sides of the ball. A playmaker at both in the backend and in the backfield, Ellington is one of the most versatile prospects in the state. As a ball carrier, he is a big play waiting to happen. He possesses adequate speed, and vision and is a tough runner. He uses his patience to find the creases in defenses and has exceptional bursts once he finds them. On the defensive side, he is a physical, missile-seeking safety. He understands leverage and attacks with good pursuit angles. He is not afraid to trigger quickly or run the alley showing he is capable of showing up in the run game. He initiates contact with a physical mentality and lets his presence be known. He even shows the ability to cover as he is hip-to-hip with guys when asked to do so. Ellington will continue to be a two-way presence, if he can put together another campaign like this coaches will easily have him on their board.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2023 Stats: 1070 Rushing Yards, 8 TDs, 40.5 (29 Solo) Tackles, 4.5 TFLs, 1 Interception</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16296111/655133e24ba8580f4cb3794b">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16296111/655133e24ba8580f4cb3794b</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1240413"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66aa125951645"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Allie is one of the more put-together playmakers in the state. A do-it-all back with versatility and production that could create an advantage for himself in the future. He can be an efficient zone-scheme runner, as he has the sudden burst and elusiveness needed. He effectively sets up tacklers into oncoming blocks and creates misdirection for defenses due to his patience and sudden feet. However, he's a very capable pass-catcher with the ability to run a variety of routes out of the backfield or from the slot if needed. Allie also brings a ton of speed, as he shows how efficient it is for him to change gears in the open field and leave defenders behind. He also brings the potential to return kicks as he can be a home run-hitting playmaker with the ball in his hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2023 Stats: 744 Rushing Yards, 7 TDs, 14 Receptions, 205 Receiving Yards, 1 TD, 282 Return Yards, 1 TD</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15144334/Evan-Allie">https://www.hudl.com/profile/15144334/Evan-Allie</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1241376"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66aa125951692"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A wide-bodied guard who shows consistency in the trenches for the Dragons, McClish is a violent and powerful guard. He opens wide run lanes with kick-outs and wash-downs but also can move well enough to be a lead blocker. He is wide and stout, making it hard to bull rush him and his instincts help him locate and respond to stunts. While hand placement can be a little inconsistent, McClish is still a bulldozer of a player who dominates smaller players and moves bigger ones just as easily. He's quick in his initial burst when moving downhill but possesses good feet when pass-protecting. All in all, McClish is a smart, tough, and very strong player, the more experience he gains the better he'll become over time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16545697/653f39ecda5c260cc400eb24">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16545697/653f39ecda5c260cc400eb24</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1240570"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66aa1259516dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dunagan may have not had an eye-popping amount of production but the rising junior is still young with a lot of potential. Flipping between both JV and Varsity last season, he showed he is capable of being a contributor when his number is called. Dunagan worked more out of the slot, showcasing his quick cuts and ability to find the open holes in the zone. He brings elusiveness and sure hands to the table, showing he is reliable when they need him. Now that the Wolves will have some newer faces leading the offense, Dunagan can easily work his way into a top playmaker. With two years of ball left, he can easily make a case for why he needs to be regarded more among coaches'. He has all the tools, just needs to sharpen them. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2023 Stats: 5 Receptions, 56 Receiving Yards</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16803381/65c0f799c11a0908e481adfc">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16803381/65c0f799c11a0908e481adfc</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
