He is a violent and downhill prospect that runs through blockers on his way into the backfield and can move well in space/redirect and closes quickly in the open field. Fisher is also a high IQ player with a quick trigger and shows he can apply pressure with good timing up the middle or rush off the edge with bend and closing speed. Also a very efficient and violent tackler, he takes good angles in the open field, shows he can scrape over the top and change direction quickly while seemingly always around the ball. Look for Fisher to draw plenty of late attention through his senior year and be a nice late steal for a college program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["938964"],"_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-6a176b2bd1ce6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hills is a very good sized athlete that can play multiple positions and has a huge catch radius and physical play-style when getting open downfield. He has a strong frame and is physical after the catch while a mismatch nightmare downfield with high-point abilities and strong hands when boxing out smaller defenders. He could very well end up turning into a plus athlete at the tight end position and is a very smooth route runner that catches everything and can run a variety of different routes downfield with a high IQ against zone coverage and is tough to take down due to contact balance and a physical running style. Hills is going to be a nice late steal for a college program and is a very intruiging prospect with untapped potential and upside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2127634"],"_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-6a170406db27c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Julian is one of the top 2028 prospects along the defensive line and is very active off the edge with plus athleticism and heavy hands when striking. He can quickly reset the LOS and reset and create immediate knock-back while showing good pursuit to the ball backside and does a nice job working flat and is able to move around in space when collapsing on quarterbacks. Julian is very technically sound for his age and should fit nicely along the defensive front in college on the edge or inside and has the frame to continue packing on weight and should draw plenty of college attention after his Junior season and is due for a breakout year in 2026. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2202706' first='Wyatt' last='Cox']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"265","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Skyline ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a170406db227"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cox is gearing up for what should be a breakout Junior season for Skyline and he is one of the top interior offensive line prospects Idaho has to offer in the class. He is a true interior road grader that can run off the ball, get inside hands on quickly and has a violent finish at the first two levels. He does a nice job using leverage to get underneath defenders, runs his feet through with a good base and stays within his frame while a high IQ pass blocker with well timed punches and is a natural bender when snapping out of his stance. Cox should draw plenty of D3+ attention through his Junior season and is a college caliber prospect that should be on radars soon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Lucas Thompson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"175","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Timberline","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a170406db2cf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thompson is a no-brainer to enter into our next rankings update and is one of the top returning receivers across Idaho heading into the Fall. He is explosive off the ball and can create some seperation downfield, tracks well from various angles and has strong hands while able to go up and win on 50/50 balls and has good body control and balance in traffic. He also shows he is a patient route runner that can get into defenders blind spots before breaking off and has a third level gear after the catch with some wiggle and short area twitch in the open field. He should draw plenty of NAIA+ attention through his final season for Timberline and collect plenty of post season accolades. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
