He can be detached or inline as a versatile chess piece. Harris is an exceptional athlete with great movement patterns and showcases lateral quickness. He has great footwork and light on his feet while showcasing strong hands, he will pluck the ball out of mid-air. Harris has exceptional concentration skills in traffic and is a physical player. His physicality is accentuated when he is asked to block, not only is he a willing blocker but he thrives off of driving a defender backward and an all-around playmaker. A complete prospect, one of the best nationally, and a future NFL draft pick.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1571373"],"_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-67b3dfb1a4cc3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wesley has an excellent frame and has room to grow into it. 205-215 lbs should be within his grasp without limiting his quickness and overall athletic traits. Once he grows into that frame, he'll be an absolute force. Wesley showcases excellent footwork with good lateral quickness. He has a good hip sink and is quick out of his breaks without much-wasted movement. Wesley showcases strong hands and gets vertical with ease. He shows good concentration at the catch point and can be used inline or detached as a chess piece. He projects to be a player that gets Power-Four offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1562672"],"_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-67b3dfb1a4d0c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dumas is an excellent Tight End and a tremendous athletic mover. He does a good job with lateral quickness and good bend at the hip and showcases great agility. Dumas can be detached or in line and a great modern-day Tight End. He has good footwork with excellent soft hands and has a great catch radius and easily catches outside of his frame. Dumas is a player with great body control and does a good job of picking up chunk yards after the catch. He is a physical player and an excellent blocker with good technique and not afraid to do the dirty work. He should be regionally recruited and a player that I enjoy watching.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1571039"],"_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-67b3dfb1a4d4d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hanshaw has all the necessary tools you want in a modern-day Tight End. He is uber-athletic and twitched up. Hanshaw is an excellent mover, has great lateral quickness, and bend at the hip. He has a large catch radius and is good at catching outside his frame. Hanshaw displays strong hands and creates separation easily. He is a physical player, has great blocking techniques, and has been fantastic in 2 TE sets and used as a blocker, he will take the next step and be a receiving option and should showcase more of an all-rounded talent. He is a player that will be regionally recruited. <br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1309957"],"_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-67b3dfb1a4d8d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tafisi is a C/O 26 prospect and an athletic mover. He's over 205lbs now and can still add 10-15 lbs to his frame without limiting physical athletic traits. Tafisi is a light-footed mover who gets vertically extremely well. He has good hands, easily catches outside of his frame, and is good at contested catches. Tafisi high-points the ball and does a good job of getting vertical. He's mainly been deployed out wide but will be in line. Riverton uses his length to create mismatches. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Those were five athletic Tight Ends who are all part of the modern-day trend of being used out wide and a chess piece to an offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
