He showcased his versatility with a pick six, reading the quarterback perfectly and breaking on the ball for a defensive touchdown. He was a constant presence in the backfield, recording a sack and three tackles for loss. Schield proved he can make plays in space and also disrupt at the line of scrimmage. His instincts, athleticism and ability to impact multiple phases of the game make him a prospect that you need to have on the radar. Expect him to continue gaining traction as a name for D1 scouts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1879145"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1879624,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68bf40d697379"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jadd put on a complete performance, making plays both as a rusher and a receiver. He carried the ball 21 times for 135 yards and two touchdowns, showcasing vision, balance and physicality between the tackles. He added to his night by turning a screen pass into a touchdown, demonstrating his explosiveness in the open field. Jadd isn't the biggest back, but he plays with grit and determination, consistently finding ways to gain yardage and keep the chains moving. Performances like this will quickly place him on the radar of college recruiters. He's establishing himself as a true workhorse.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1879199"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1879637,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68bf40d6973dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In the trenches, Jones set the tone for Rock Canyon's offensive success. His work up front paved the way for a productive ground game, creating lanes that allowed his backs to reach the second level. In pass protection, he was a brick wall, giving his quarterback time to deliver strikes downfield. Offensive linemen often go unnoticed, but Jones' impact was felt throughout the night as he controlled his assignments and kept the offense moving. If he continues to anchor the line with this level of consistency, he will be a stock riser and a player to track closely this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1879218"],"_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-68bf40d69742c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Diebold flashed his potential in Rock Canyon's win, throwing for 184 yards and two touchdowns. Though his completion rate was under 50 percent, he showed the arm talent to drive the ball into tight windows and deliver accurate passes in the intermediate game. He kept his composure and made big throws when needed, proving he has the ability to execute in critical moments. Diebold is a player on the rise who can take a big step forward if he cleans up his efficiency. With more consistent outings, expect him to grab the attention of college scouts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1129989"],"_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-68bf40d69747d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Though it wasn't his best outing statistically, Jantz remains the heart of this Rock Canyon offense. He possesses the arm strength and accuracy to make every throw on the field, and his ability to lead the offense is evident. Against Fossil Ridge, things didn't fully click, but Jantz's skill set and poise give confidence he will bounce back quickly. Look for him to settle in, raise his completion percentage, and string together strong performances as the season progresses. As the team's driving force under center, Jantz is a name to keep watching as he works toward a rebound game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1880363"],"_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-68bf40d6974c8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zanotelli turned heads with a highlight worthy sideline grab that was ruled incomplete but still showcased his ability. He elevated above the defensive back, high pointed the football and displayed body control to secure the catch. While it didn't count on the stat sheet, it was enough to show his natural playmaking skills. Zanotelli has the hands, athleticism, and confidence to become a consistent target in Fossil Ridge's passing attack. With more opportunities, he could emerge as a reliable weapon in big play scenarios. Expect him to build momentum and gain more attention as the season unfolds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1880375"],"_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-68c06379245d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hernandez stood out with his versatility and discipline in coverage. He showed the ability to line up near the line of scrimmage, run stride for stride with receivers, and also drop into deeper zones to erase passing windows. His quick hips and sharp breaks on the ball made it difficult for Rock Canyon to find openings on his side of the field. Hernandez brings confidence and physicality to the defensive backfield, attributes that will continue to elevate his stock. As he strings together more consistent performances, expect him to be a rising name that scouts begin to circle on their watchlists.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
