Rocky River Prospects Being Slept On

Teams around the state have rosters that are filled with talent that everyone talks about. However, schools like Rocky River have prospects that are being overlooked and not receiving the amount of offers that they deserve. This team has playmakers on both sides of the ball that can be major contributors at the college level. Here are the top underrated players from Rocky River HS: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="28595" first="Jevon" last="McIver"], CB, 6’2 and 170 lbs, Rocky River HS</strong> McIver is a smart, hard-hitting cornerback that is quick to recognize plays developing. He has great ball skills at the catch point and is able to get his head turned around to make the interception. Jevon is excellent at flipping his hips, moving his feet, mirroring the WR on a deep route, and in physical man coverage. Also, he’s a solid tackler that can be relied on in run defense. McIver has one known offer to this point. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="28597" first="Gabriel" last="Palacios"], OG, 6’2 and 302 lbs, Rocky River HS</strong> Palacios is a strong offensive guard that has the ability to move his opponents across multiple gaps and throw defenders to the ground. He is always looking for someone to block and is very good at using his hands to control defensive lineman. Gabriel is best used in a zone-blocking scheme because of his nimble feet and athletic movement. He is a pretty efficient pass blocker and can withstand the bull rush with a solid anchor. Right now has one offer so far. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="28604" first="Kalib" last="Jennings"], RB, 5’9 and 200 lbs, Rocky River HS</strong> Jennings is a shifty running back that makes it hard for defenders to tackle him because of his excellent contact balance and shifty cuts. He displays very good vision by being patient, following his blockers, and squeezing through tight holes. Kalib uses his physicality to get the most out of every play, especially at the goal line. He flashes big play ability along with solid receiving and blocking skills. Does not have any known offers. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="28609" first="Zyeir" last="McCall"], DL, 6’4 and 260 lbs, Rocky River HS</strong> McCall is a run stuffing defensive lineman that clogs the middle of the play and makes the tackle. He is explosive off of the line of scrimmage and creates constant penetration in the backfield. He is great at sensing the direction of running plays and when the opposing team runs a screen play. McCall shoots the gap very quickly and showcases a high motor when on the field. Has one offer to this point.
