He's a good athlete with a good head on his shoulders who tends to see the field fairly well. He's best in the pocket when he can drop back, go through his progression, step up and fire the ball. He can make some off-platform throws, but keeping his mechanics sound is best for now. He can also stretch out a defense and force them to worry about his legs. If Dold comes out and breaks out for Twin Lakes this year, I wouldn't be the least shocked.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1355540"],"_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-66aa5e0a2b86a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Umulis got onto the field one game last season as a freshman, has a good frame, and has a bunch of the traits you're looking for in an upcoming defense end. He's quick off the line and doesn't have an issue working upfield. He's a bit ahead of schedule in terms of the weight room and being able to build up his frame, however, it's important to not get complacent. Where Umilis is at right now is very promising, but ideally, it's just the tip of the iceberg for him. Having a 6'4" DE who can play the run and pass with 3 years left is huge, and I'm stoked to see what he can do moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1355541"],"_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-66aa5e0a2b8c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Warren Central is always one of the most difficult schools to predict who will breakout and when because their team is often so big and so deep, however with Sutton, he's got a handful of things pointing his direction which are promising. His length and build are nice, but his ability to get after the football is impressive. Whether it's in the running game or passing game, he will pursue the ball. He's not one to give up on a rep and it helps him make extra plays all over the field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1279601"],"_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-66aa5e0a2b926"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rapidly developing in the heart of Indiana is an upcoming DB from Hamilton Southeastern. Christopherson is coming off of a freshman year which indicates he could be valuable and a good player moving forward. He's confident on an island, can play out wide, and move into the slot to guard. He's got a fantastic change of direction and doesn't have problems staying with receivers down the field. He's a bit light as of right now so as he hits the weight room it'll help round out his game and make him more supportive in the running game. I like his ability to cover and keep the receiver close without making contact. DB is a long hard road, but Christopherson seems to be made of the right stuff.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1162389"],"_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-66aa5e0a2b981"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I'm very intrigued with Simmons and what he can be down the road. He's listed at 5'9" but certainly seems and plays much bigger than that. He's a fairly aggressive DB who hits like an LB, especially when he's coming downhill. He may only be 5'9" but he knows how to use his frame and put his weight behind it. He's not the most explosive athlete on the field, but he's more than capable of playing in the 2nd and 3rd levels. His future on the field is wide open because his playstyle can fit just about any system.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
