He has amassed 1,302 passing yards and 17 touchdowns, while only throwing 3 INT's and has a 70% completing percentage. He has shown a tremendous arm against all three levels of the defense, and has shown he can throw an accurate deep ball with good velocity and air under it to throw his receivers open, while quickly processing and getting the ball out on time. He has also shown scramble abilities and does a nice job at not losing zip on the ball when throwing across his body. Especially after such a stellar start to his Senior season, he is a no brainer D3+ kid at the next level, and should draw college interest as we draw closer to national signing day. </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='1611356' first='Zyan' last='Crockett']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"169","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Skyline","_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-66f379cac0795"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Crockett has burst onto the scene for his Junior season for Skyline, and is off to a terrific start after four weeks of the pre-season schedule. The explosive playmaker has shown he can stretch the field, make contested catches and is elusive and explosive after the catch. Through the pre-season he has put up some big time numbers, going for 300+ yards receiving, another 147 yards on the ground and 1 passing TD while tacking on 7 total touchdowns.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401579"],"_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-66f379cac07f5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Munson has put together one of the best receiving pre-seasons of any athlete across the state of Idaho and is still in his Junior season for the Mavs. Through the first four weeks, he has 27 receptions for 442 yards and 4 touchdowns, and has shown he can really stretch the field, make contested catches across the middle and has much improved route running abilities and can consistently get large chunks of yards after the catch. Look for Munson to possibly get past the 1K mark receiving this season, and is a name to keep a close eye on as we update our 2026 rankings after the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1358005"],"_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-66f379cac0837"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rovig has exploded onto the scene this Fall for the top team in the entire state, and has been dealing the ball out to plenty of next level weapons that are on this Rocky Mountain offense. Rovig has shown a strong arm downfield and solid ball placement both over the middle and on outbreaking routes, while buying time with his feet and shows the ability to throw on the run/across his body. He has thrown for almost 1,000 yards through only 4 games and has 11 touchdowns total with 9 passing and 2 rushing while tacking on another 70 yards rushing. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["496747"],"_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-66f379cac08ac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Perry is only in his second season at the prep level, but has shown tremendous poise for a sophomore quarterback and has solid throwing mechanics and pocket awareness, especially for his age. So far this season he has thrown for 1,200 yards and 11 scores, while completing 60% of his passes and showing he can really spread the ball around and also can do some damage with his legs in the open field and when scrambling around the pocket as well. Look for Perry to be one of the top returning signal callers this off-season, and continue to improve and develop into one of the regions top passers over the next couple seasons. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1136853"],"_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-66f379cac08f5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The two-way star is one of the top linebackers in the state of Idaho, and is also having a tremendous start to his Senior season coming out of the backfield and gaining tough yards inside. Through the first five weeks of the pre-season, he has rushed for nearly 500 yards and 5 touchdowns, while averaging just over 6 yards per carry and has shown he can run physical in-between the tackles while flashing some sneaky open field speed and vision in space/cutback abilities as well. He moves well for his size and is a fluid athlete that could find his home at multiple positions at the D3 level in college. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1136025"],"_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-66f379cac092e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thompson is an extremely explosive and strong outside receiver that is off to a tremendous starting his senior season for the top team in the state. He has shown big-play abilities downfield and is a very physical runner with a ball in his hands after the catch and runs through arm/ankle tackles with ease. Currently, he is the second leading receiver in the state and has a chance to hit the 1,000 yard receiving marker by the end of the season. He is already up to 486 yards receiving and 4 scores, while averaging nearly 30 yards per reception. Thompson is a very twitchy route runner with outstanding ball skills and high point abilities for his size and shows he can beat press man coverage, while smart enough to settle down in open grass and quickly knife upfield. </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='1599684' first='Kendrix' last='Knobbe']","_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":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"174","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Burley","_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-66f379cac09a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Knobbe leads the state of Idaho in receiving, and is one of the top offensive weapons to start the season and should be able to find a home at the next level. He has gone for 609 yards receiving and 7 touchdowns, while averaging over 120 yards per game through only the first five weeks of his season. On film, he shows good downfield long speed, does a nice job at using his length to create seperation and can make contested catches/has a huge catch radius over the top in 50/50 ball situations. Knobbe also shows he can beat man coverage and is a very smart route runner against soft zones and is physical with the ball in his hands after the catch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
