Class 4A, Group 7: Class Of 2021 Offensive Skill Players

We have reached the official start of the season with Week 1 games in the book. But as they say, the show must go on and we will finish out our previews as we have done in recent weeks. With that said, we are going to take a look at the top skill position players from as many districts as possible in the state before fall camps begin. Some of these players are already receiving college interest, while others are looking to catch the eye of that right coach. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="23839" first="Max" last="White"] - Cedar Rapids Kennedy</strong> After putting together an incredible season in 2019, Cedar Rapids Kennedy’s [player_tooltip player_id="23839" first="Max" last="White"] kicked off 2020 with a bang.
