For that reason, he has flown under the radar and is a name that is still unfamiliar for a lot of people. Regardless, he is producing at a high level and has developed into an intriguing prospect on the recruiting scene. On the year, Owens has thrown for nearly 1500 yards and has thrown 11 TDs against just 1 INT. At around 6'4 205, Owens checks all the boxes when it comes to measurables. For his size, he moves very well and isn't awkward in his movements. He possesses a smooth, lefty release and can get the ball out in a hurry. His ability to run the RPO game and read coverages is clearly shown on film. In the pocket, he does an outstanding job of climbing when under pressure instead of bailing. All in all, Owens is a very smart decision-maker and possesses next level tools.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Nick Woodford ","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2025 ","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Northeast ","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"You couldn't tackle Woodford in a phone booth. That is the best way to describe how he plays. He has produced at an unbelievably high level this year too. Woodford has rushed for over 1600 yards on nearly 11 YPC and has added 25 rushing TDs. He has come out of nowhere this year to emerge as one of the most productive players in the state. When watching Woodford, you can see him make defenders miss with ease and showcase some great vision. His ability to weave around would-be tacklers and do it quickly is a truly unique skill set. Also, once he gets to the edge or sees room to run, he puts his foot in the ground and gets downfield. Woodford plays at a lower level of football, so he will naturally fly under the radar. Yet he is still producing at a high level and is starting to appear on the radar.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":2,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6345b34b3f1a5","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":"Cal Faulkner","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_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_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Lumpkin County","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"There has been a bit of a resurgence this year at Lumpkin County high school, who is in the midst of one of their best seasons ever. Cal Faulkner, a versatile sophomore, is making his mark on both sides of the ball. Offensively, Faulkner is averaging 17 YPC and is sitting at neatly 500 receiving yards with 7 TDs. He flashes some serious explosiveness and athleticism, as he is able to rise over defenders to win 50/50 balls. He is also surprisingly twitchy and can make defenders miss. At DB, he uses his length and speed to be a pesky defender. He has 3 INTs thus far and several PBUs. Standing at 6'3 with some serious speed and playmaking ability makes him an intriguing prospect. He is one of North Georgia's best-kept secrets that will see his stock climb soon.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Luke Mobbs","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"5'8u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Jackson County","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Mobbs spends some time lined up all over the defense. Most of the time, he is standing up at a traditional LB spot, but he also spends some time attached to the line as an edge rusher or patrols the defense at the nickel position. Regardless of where he lines up, you can expect a ton of energy and a high motor. He does a great job of flying to the ball and not overpursuing. At the LB position, even for a smaller prospect, he holds his own between the tackles and packs a punch at contact. He is one of the state leaders in tackles and has 8 sacks on the season, so he is certainly holding his own for someone that might be undersized.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["339650"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"I got a chance to watch Bell this past weekend and came away amazed by his performance. On the season, he has terrorized opposing QBs with 8 sacks. He has also compiled 36 tackles. In my opinion, Bell has all the makings of a major D1 defensive line prospect. He has good size at around 6'3 250, and is getting bigger. He is incredibly explosive off the line, is physical at the point of attack, and has good pursuit skills. With every snap, Bell is instantly in the backfield and causing havoc. His ability to rush the passer likely projects him at DE, but he is versatile and physical enough to clog up some running lanes in the middle of the defense. Whichever way you look at it, Bell is a nightmare for QBs and is still extremely young.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":3,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /-->
