<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kentucky does a great job building attention around the talent in the state by providing multiple opportunities for these young men to showcase their abilities. All of these young men are Future Stars alumni and ready to get after it next season. Who will be the biggest impact this time next year?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["868214"],"_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-67b3577f11e9b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='868214' first='Cooper' last='Scott'] is a proven leader with a multi-sport background, excelling at a high level in each. Most recently, he is coming off an undefeated season as a dual-threat quarterback. Scott can move the pocket while maintaining accuracy in his throws. Mechanically, he has the ability to release sidearm or drop the ball in the bucket over the secondary. He possesses quick hips and agile footwork to evade pressure and get the ball out efficiently. His leadership stands out in his ability to control drives and take care of the football.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311186"],"_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-67b3577f11f0c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jay'vian Meaux has <em>KY Future Star</em> pedigree and runs the rock like he was born to do it. He packs a big punch in a smaller package, bringing all the goods. His contact balance is nasty, and if you don't stop him before he reaches the third level, he's gone. He has the vision needed to be a threat inside, and his agility allows him to shed tackles easily on his way to big yardage. Don't overlook his return ability either—this kid can go!</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":["1295700"],"_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-67b3577f11f68"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1295700' first='Everest' last='Whitaker'] demands respect on his name. He's a beast on the field and gets busy on the basketball court as well. He's a tall, thick athlete with a strong frame that is still developing—a scary reality for anyone brave enough to line up across from him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This kid is the complete package at tight end. He can secure the C and D gaps in the run game by effectively covering his man. Whitaker knows how to find the soft spots in zone coverage for easy receptions. He often digs into his bag to show off his route-running ability, using his size and physicality to get in position and make plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311347"],"_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-67b3577f11fc2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1311347' first='Kolton' last='Risner'] is a scrappy All-American who doesn't shy away from competition. He's a smaller athlete with home-run speed and big-play ability. Most suited for the slot or hybrid back role, Kolton is an offensive coordinator's dream. His versatile skill set allows for creative play-calling, putting defenses on their heels with everything he can do.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jet sweeps, counter action, screen plays, and double-move routes over the middle are all ways Risner can make an impact. More often than not, he's adding yards after the catch as well. This is a player who needs the ball in his hands—plus, he's a strong punt returner.</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":["868210"],"_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-67b3577f12011"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='868210' first='Caden' last='Lawson'] is another&nbsp;<em>KY Future Stars</em>&nbsp;player with experience at running back. In my opinion, he's more of an all-around athlete due to his size and versatility. As he matures physically, I can see him being utilized more in space to limit contact and allow him to get going.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lawson is extremely quick, able to slip through seams before turning on the jets. If you don't get a hand on him early, he can make you pay in both the run and passing game. His acceleration in and out of cuts sets him apart from the pack.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
