Sebastian has the ability and tools to beat his blockers, read and react exceptionally well. [player_tooltip player_id='1312785' first='Sebastian' last='Valencia'] is an phenomenal talent that will thrive at the next level. Going into his senior year not only will his rankings go up but his level of play will take a leap and boy will he be scary. Valencia is a true disrupter in the pass or run, he can do it all as he recorded this past season a total of 75 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 4 sacks and 20 QBHs. If Sebastian can add a little bit more weight to his frame he will become a even more dominate defensive player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1146800"],"_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-6a2b496ad80ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1146800' first='Darian' last='Coates-Cameron'] is a Linebacker/Safety hybrid who is an amazing athlete. Darian displays great awareness and ball skills that sets him up to be close to the ball 99% of the time, With his speed and ability to flip his hips and get his head around he does a fantastic job with covering his opponents. As I evaluated Darian film I see a lot of potential in this young man, he does an excellent job at getting after the Quarterback. Coates is definitely a next level prospect as he plays the safety and linebacker position exceptionally well and I believe going into his final season he will continue to add on to his Division 1 offers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1313477"],"_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-6a2b496ad8113"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I believe [player_tooltip player_id='1313477' first='Eli' last='Maxie'] is a next level prospect because he is a true Jack of all trades on both sides of the ball. On offense Eli showcased that his hands are elite, and that he can track the ball exceptionally well. Maxie is a very slept on route runner but he creates separation at the top of his routes, But his type of playstyle excels in deep and intermediate plays. Now discussing Eli defensive side of the ball he does a great job at reading and reacting, getting to the ball at a high rate. Eli can also drop back in coverage and shadow his opponent which his elite coverage skill. When I had breakdown Maxie film he does a phenomenal job at flipping his hips and getting his head around to see where the ball is at and not to mention he is also a very good team player as he can also contribute on special teams. I personally can not wait to see what he can do at the next level, tremendous upside and potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1313518"],"_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-6a2b496ad8134"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Representing Lightridge [player_tooltip player_id='1313518' first='Owen' last='Working'] is a phenomenal athlete at the Quarterback position. Owen has thrown for 1,787 yards combined 19 touchdowns, in doing so he showed nothing but elite ball placement and elite accuracy. Owen made numerous throws on the run with perfect accuracy that had put his targets in the perfect position to make a play. Standing at 6'6 185 pounds he will sit in the pocket and deliver a dime to his teammates with some zip on it, he has one of the quickest releases I have seen in a while. Throughout his film he had also shown complete poise sitting in the pocket while defenders are closing in on him but he has an amazing amount of confidence in his skills and ability to make a play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1683727"],"_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-6a2b496ad8153"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1683727' first='Aveon' last='Cobb'] is a next-level athlete due to how much grit and passion he plays with. This young man has elite breakaway speed and is very twitched up. There is a reason He is ranked the #1 running back. As I viewed his film, there were numerous times he was getting hit but kept his balance and displayed amazing concentration. There aren't many running backs who can maintain their speed in and out of cuts without draining their stamina, as he can change direction. In and out, his cuts are made at a high rate of speed, which is very amazing, and anybody coming his way should know they are getting a true dog at the running back position. Aveon, going into his final season, will be magnificent and will do amazing things this season and at the next level. Very thrilled to see what he has in store as he continues his football journey. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
