Measures in at 24 total tackles (17 solo, 7 assisted), 1 TFL, 1.5 sacks, and 1 QB pressure. He has good athletic ability due to very good lateral quickness, good acceleration, solid speed. Ejuwa has good initial quickness out of his stance paired with good hand. Very good hand strength, hand placement, and strength to control his opponent with ease. Uses his good knee bend to maintain a low pad level. Ejuwa has very good get off and block shedding skills. Disengages from his block and gets in the backfield. Stuffs his gaps. Very good tackling with a powerful bull rush. Ejuwa splits double blocks with ease and the person against him. I already think very highly of him and believe he can be a P4 player. Look for a statement season from Ejuwa.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2153291"],"_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-69c32fd004967"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hoskins measures in at 5'10 160-pounds. The corner had 45 total tackles (28 solo, 17 assisted), 7 PBUs, INT with 169 kick return yards. Hoskins has good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, good change of direction, and jumping. Good job re-routing and jamming WR at the line of scrimmage. Uses his athleticism to stay stride for stride with the receiver. Very good man coverage sticking like glue. Hoskins has instinctive reactions to the ball. Very good timing on creating pass break ups. Either by swatting the ball away with his very good closing quickness or ripping it out of a receiver's arms before it's considered a completion. Very good tackler. Excels in run support. Hoskins is an exciting corner that teams should take an extra look at.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1639927"],"_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-69c32fd0049c6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tolini plays defensive end and tight end for the Air Academy.

Uses his spin move to keep tackles on their toes. As a tight end, he does a great job blocking. Uses his strength to overpower the defensive line and create running lanes for his back or extra time in the pocket for his QB. Keep an eye on him this off-season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1631397"],"_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-69c32fd004a32"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pennock is another rising corner to know. He measures in at 6'1 170-pounds. Accounting for 30 total tackles (20 solo, 10 assisted), 1 TFL, 1 INT, and 1 PD. Pennock has good athletic ability due to very good speed, change of direction, good acceleration, and jumping. Good at jamming receiver at the LOS. Uses his controlled back pedal and fluid hips to match WR breaking off into their stem. Sticks to the wide receiver like glue not giving up much separation. If he does, he'll use his very good closing quickness and good timing to create pass deflections. He has good read and reaction time with good ball instincts. With another off-season of refinement on his technique, look for Pennock to reach new heights.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1680138"],"_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-69c32fd004a8b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jayne is an exciting athletic interior defensive lineman for Riverdale Ridge.
