He has great size and frame and was a difference maker last year at Westlake. He transfers into Lone Peak and should make an immediate impact. He played inside and on the edge last year and he should see a similar role. He plays with good physicality and is a tough player to stop from advancing his position. He has a good quickness to his game and he has quick hands. I prefer him on the inside as he can disrupt up the middle and can create interior havoc. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1693947"],"_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-6a497b443a2ed"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Talimailagi is a fun defensive lineman. He plays with good physicality and has a good first step to his game. He uses hand fighting to his advantage and easily brings pressure. He moves well and has good quickness to his game. He's a versatile lineman and can lineup anywhere on the line. He should have a huge season ahead. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1418841"],"_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-6a497b443a33f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Caleb has done an exceptional job this offseason. He's a hybrid backer/EDGE rusher who is fun to watch. He's a twitchy athlete with good quickness and is explosive. He has good hip bend and plays with good leverage. He's an instinctual defender who sheds his blocks with ease. He's a player that can impact at either position, I prefer him as an EDGE rusher but his athleticism makes him a prime candidate for the hybrid LEO role. He's a great player when pressing forward and attacking. It'll be a fun year ahead for him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1678547"],"_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-6a497b443a38c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">William has made tremendous strides this offseason, he's grown physically and has put on good weight this offseason. That will allow him to handle the riggers of the regular season and lining up against Offensive Linemen that outweigh him 30+ lbs. His physicality and strength have improved and he plays with good pad level and keeps grinding and advancing his position. He is a player that will wear down his opposing lineman in the second half and will be impactful this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
