Lincoln might be the x-factor against Lehi. If he can get the run game started and make the first defender miss, it will help the RPO offense. Lincoln has been used in the passing game as an extension of the run. If Skyridge can get Lincoln involved early and get the run game off the ground, that will go a long way in controlling the time of possession. Lincoln is a runner who has good vision, explodes through the hole, and has good contact balance and the necessary speed to get to the edge.

Lincoln has done a tremendous job with his opportunity and the transfer was one of the biggest this offseason. He’s a player who has always flashed. He is a good runner, with good vision, and does well getting to the edge and showcasing his speed. His hands have always been his calling card. He has great hands and is deadly in the passing game; he will run routes and not someone who just takes dump-offs. He’s showcased all of his traits thus far and should garner offers to play at the next level.

Tahi was ultra efficient on a per touch basis and flashed good quickness and overall speed. He is flashing his ability as a receiver out of the backfield. He has exceptional hands and in the open space, will make defenders miss. He’s proving himself to be one of the best complete backs in the class.

Tahi is a complete back, and he was an important part in the pass game last week with 7 receptions and two touchdowns. He should be a bigger factor in the run game this week, and if he can get into the flow of the offense and use his vision and patience behind the line to find the crease and get to the second level, that will allow the Skyridge offense to stay on the field longer and allow that defense to rest and be fresh against a strong Liberty offense, his play in the run game will dictate that.

Tahi is an elite runner and transfers into Skyridge. He is set up for a huge season. He is a patient runner with good vision, moves well laterally, and has good burst and overall speed. He’s a great, athletic mover, and once he gets to the second level, he showcases his speed and gets to the edge, and he is gone for home. He has soft hands and can be used as a weapon in the receiving game; he’s a complete three-down back and is primed for a huge season.

Tahi is an elusive, athletic player who showcases excellent agility and speed. He easily gets to the edge and is dangerous in space. Tahi is a one-cut runner who showcases good lateral quickness, and excellent vision, once past the first level he weaves his way through traffic and has good jump cuts. He is a runner who works between the tackles and shows good contact balance. There is little wasted motion to his style, he looks to get upfield quickly. Tahi brings another dimension with his receiving work, soft hands with the ability to catch outside his frame. What I appreciate most about his game is an underlooked aspect at this stage across all of High School football, his pass protection. Tahi is excellent in this area, he’ll take on an incoming Linebacker who outweighs him and will stonewall him, and he’ll step up and knock an oncoming rusher off his pathway. He bides additional time for his Quarterback and he’ll come up to chip and help out his fellow lineman. Overall, Tahi is one of the most complete backs in the state and a player that will be recruited regionally, and wouldn’t be surprised to see him get Power-Four offers.
