This was a solid team effort but Lares’ two receiving TDs and his stout defensive play made him the player of the game. Will South’s starting RB was not active which led to a more one dimensional attack and Lares was the main beneficiary.

Lares is a solid DB with great instincts. He can stuff the run and defend the pass with fluid motion. He is a sound tackler and a phenomenal athlete. Offensively, his role should increase as a dynamic slot WR that can find the open holes in coverage and has soft hands.

Lares is an interesting prospect. He is one of the few players that can hold down the LB/DB hybrid role. He has great instincts and is extremely versatile. He possesses fluid hips and sound tackling technique.
