Bohanna is simply a tough and physical inside run stopper. Lacks great height and physical upside is limited but he is very stout, compact and thick, ready to make the jump to the next level from a physical standpoint. Appears very durable and can is difficult to out leverage with his low base, despite the fact that he plays high. |

Carr is a pretty dynamic guy who has excelled at corner, running back and also at quarterback as a run-first threat utilizing his open-field run skills. He is stoutly built with a good, compact frame and nice height. Looks like a safety or running back, which are likely his best fit at the next level. Offensively, he's shifty and quick. He runs low to the ground and has good change-of-direction skills. |

Eulls has good size and can run well for a big man. He can be a load when he gets moving in a straight line and even though he is a defensive end prospect he takes snaps at quarterback in high school. He is no college quarterback, though he could be considered for a tight end/H-Back type in college, but that being said he will most likely land on the defensive line. |

Its is a real shame this young man wasn't blessed with his uncle Brett's physical measurables because this is the only thing keeping this kid from being recruited by BCS level schools. Favre is like a clone of Kansas QB Todd Reesing, he may not weight as much as Reesing yet, but has the same height restrictions (if not more, Favre is really short for the position) and also has much of the same positives. |

Hill is a very talented defensive football player who doubles as a wide out, but there is no doubt he will play defense at the next level. He is a physically-impressive player that has excellent height and carries his weight easily. Possesses very good quickness and speed. A tremendous edge player that refuses to be blocked on perimeter runs, flare passes and sprint outs. |

Hughes is a very solid running back with solid football skills. He has good size and shows elusiveness as a ball carrier. Runs the inside and outside zone scheme very well form the spread formation. Once he receives the handoff from the quarterback, glides along the line of scrimmage till the opening shows. Demonstrates the talent to bounce the football to the perimeter or cut it back inside to get vertical. |

A true sleeper in this wide receiver class, Johnson has good very size, hands and athleticism. Looks to still have a lot growing left on his taller, well-built frame and could develop into an H-back in the spread or even tight end; were his speed and hips may be better suited. Does a great job utilizing his size and wide catch-radius as a pass-catcher. |

Johnson is a versatile and underrated athlete on offense who can move the chains effectively as a both a back and receiver. Rare to get a well-built, decisive between the tackles runner and elusive receiver with great shake all in one package. A guy spread offensive coordinators could get very creative with motioning in and out of the backfield. Productive one-cut-and-go slasher as a running back. |

Lewis is an electrifying athlete with the ball in his hands and has the quickness and skill-set to play numerous positions in our eyes at the next level. His smaller size is the major issue when projecting for college and may be why he is currently falling under the radar. While short, he is tightly-bound and very fast-twitched; a tough, scrappy kid who does not shy away from contact and will compete. |

Robinson is a raw but talented offensive lineman. He has excellent height and overall size for his position as an offensive tackle. Displays very good athleticism and foot quickness but plays a little high at times. Very intimidating and has a real physical presence on the field. Comes out of his stance with power and leads with the hands. |

Virges comes across as a thickly built kid on film. He has a bit of an unorthodox stance as he is extremely crouched almost with his knees on the ground. It seems to help him come off the ball low, but also seems to hinder his ability to get off the ball quickly. He also tends to line-up off the ball and you would like to see him crowd the line more. |

Wells is a two-way standout at the high school level but will most like get recruited to carry the rock in college. Has a very good frame and a taller body, which causes concern with proper body-tilt. He is compact with good thickness and a lot of room for continued physical development. As a running back he has lighter feet and good initial quicks for a near 200-pounder. |
