He is a speedy receiver who can make big plays happen. His route running ability is dangerous and he can catch the ball over defenders, as he catches the ball at the apex. He beats defenders on one on one coverage with his speed and is a truly gifted athlete. He can catch in traffic and make all the big plays look routine. Look for this future star in college to make an immediate impact at the next level. https://twitter.com/iamchrishilton1/status/1340457101529890816 <hr /> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">[player_tooltip player_id="63554" first="Brian" last="Thomas"]</span> <strong>WR Rank #3</strong> Two-Sport athlete, Brain Thomas plays basketball as well as football. His athleticism transfers well to the gridiron at the receiver position. Adequate-sized receiver with a lean, athletic build. Flashes impressive timing and high-pointing ability on contested throws. Generally a good hands catcher. Adequate to above-average on-field long speed but can get faster at the top end. Gets off the line quickly and on top of corners in a hurry. Filling out and getting stronger will help transition to facing high-major DB's, as a pass-catcher and a perimeter blocker. Athleticism translates to the gridiron. https://twitter.com/BrianThomas_11/status/1265086019071873024 <hr /> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">[player_tooltip player_id="63696" first="Navell" last="Chopin"]</span> <strong>WR Rank #23</strong> Flashes impressive timing and high-pointing ability on contested throws.

He has extremely great ball skills and can catch the ball at the highest point while contouring his body to make the catch. He is a receiver with elite speed and can take it to the house any time he touches the ball. Terrific route runner, burst off the ball quickly to can make defenders pay. This would be a good Division II prospect who might transfer to a DI later on because of performance on the field,</div> <div dir="auto"></div> <div dir="auto"><img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1123071899595083776/e0D0Egez_400x400.jpg" alt="Image" /></div> <div dir="auto"> <span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><em>Photo: Twitter |</em></span>@JomarionLilly</span> <div class="css-1dbjc4n r-1adg3ll r-15d164r"> <div class="css-1dbjc4n"></div> </div> </div> <div dir="auto"></div> <div class="css-1dbjc4n r-18u37iz r-1wbh5a2"><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2020/12/prepredzones-uncommitted-top-louisiana-offensive-prospects/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">More Analyst Click Here </span></a></div> <div></div> <div></div> <div></div> <div></div> <div></div> <div></div> <div> <hr /> </div> <div></div> <div><span style="font-size: 14pt;">[player_tooltip player_id="63744" first="Gabe" last="Hughes"]</span></div> <div></div> <div></div> <div><strong>WR Rank #32</strong></div> <div></div> Above-average size receiver at 6'1 plays larger due to wingspan and vertical. This is an athlete who can play both sides of the ball and return punts. Great on special teams as a return man and shows flashes of his speed and quickness on the gridiron. Quick-footed and builds speed downfield thanks to stride length, which fuels vertical field-stretching ability. <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2020/12/prepredzones-uncommitted-top-louisiana-offensive-prospects/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">More Analyst Click Here </span></a> https://twitter.com/Gabehughes_10/status/1338961764218757123 https://twitter.com/Gabehughes_10/status/1336473827606409220
