<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're hitting the heart of the state today and checking out the top sack leaders from the state capitol!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["196670"],"_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-670e9ccf045af"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thacker is one of the state's best defensive linemen for a reason. He's violent, plays angry, and checks all the boxes. He's big and can eat up blocks and disrupt the run as much as he impacts the pass. He can fend off blocks and has had to deal with double teams. With 46 tackles, 14.5 TFLs, and 7 sacks on the year he's leading the Dragons upfront. His potential is clear and he's playing like he's aiming for Sundays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["553144"],"_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-670e9ccf0466f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='553144' first='Demetrius' last='Davis'] is a disruptive force on the defensive front, known for his relentless motor and physical edge. He overpowers opposing linemen and consistently gets off blocks to make plays in the backfield. With 40 tackles, 19 solos, 9.5 tackles for loss, and 6.5 sacks this season, Davis is key against both the run and pass. His impact upfront has been critical for the defense and has helped his recruiting immensely.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1204615"],"_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-670e9ccf046c6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Raishaun McHaney has been a dominant presence on the defensive line, making plays all over the field. He excels at shedding blocks and disrupting plays before they can develop. With 53 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, 7 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles this season, McHaney is a constant problem for offenses, whether he's stopping the run or pressuring the quarterback. I think he's come a long way in his development and has been a pleasant addition for Lutheran.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1530172"],"_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-670e9ccf04745"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson has been a steady force on the defensive line, consistently finding ways to make an impact. His 51 tackles, with 26 solo stops, 11 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, and 11 quarterback hurries reflect his ability to be disruptive in both the run and pass game. He applies pressure that forces offenses out of rhythm, creating opportunities for his teammates while making plays himself. I like Johnson because he's not the biggest lineman but he understands how to play to his strengths and get the most out of them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1530174"],"_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-670e9ccf047c3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Beasley is a 3-year starter for Lawrence Central and has steadily improved each season, becoming a key part of their defensive front. With 43 tackles, 20 tackles for loss, and 7 sacks this year, he has proven his ability to disrupt plays and make a difference on the field. His experience and growth over the years have made him a reliable presence up front, and his consistency continues to be a valuable asset to Lawrence Central.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1201946"],"_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-670e9ccf04837"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aramboles is someone we highlighted early in his career with a bunch of potential. Since then, he's continued to develop and put the work in. It's not only paying off on the field, but it's starting to get to a point where he's showcasing elite potential. He's got fantastic speed off the line and has a twitch you need to be successful. With 37 tackles, 10 TFLs, 5.5 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles, it's safe to say he's having a breakout campaign and should be one of the guys to watch next fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
