This week we are focusing on guys that put up a big game that are probably small-school caliber players, but great players for a program nonetheless.   [player_tooltip player_id="27291" first="Nya" last="Greene"] - New Brighton - RB: The big RB plays against not-so-ideal competition but he is easily the best player on the field. He makes plays in the passing game as well. He catches contested balls all over the field. He could be used as an OLB as well. He likes to get physical. He is an FCS/D2 caliber player CJ Waldier- Yough - OLB: Very productive WR for Yough. He makes a bunch of plays for them against no-so-ideal competition, yet again. He is probably a small school player but at 6’2 195, he could be a difference maker at the next level on the defensive side of the ball. Mike Allen - Washington - SAF: At 6’1 195, he probably projects down in the box as an OLB. He had 2 INTs this week, one of them going for a 76 yard TD. He doesn’t have fluid movements as you would like (which is probably why is a backer), but he is a tough player that hits well and has a nose for the football. Again, probably another small-school player. [player_tooltip player_id="27388" first="Ky’Ron" last="Craggette"] - Connellsville - RB: A big RB that has good speed for his size, he is the lone bright spot on a bad Connellsville team. He keeps them in games. He is tough to bring down and has good speed for his size. He projects at the D2 level [player_tooltip player_id="27393" first="Reed" last="Martin"] Plum - WR: to cap off this list, we have a 6’1 WR with exceptional body control. He will line up in the slot and make some very tough catches over the middle. He is shifty for his size as he is a little bit bigger. Once again, probably a small school guy that will have coaches happy for four years.
