In depth look at the top tight ends in the Central Section. 1. [player_tooltip player_id="25199" first="Winston" last="Williams"], 2021, Immanuel High School, 6’4” 220 lbs. An extremely physical football player on both sides of the football and versatile TE as a blocker and playmaker. Possesses the size and strength to deliver violent blocks on defensive ends and linebackers at the second level. Displays superior power and a low center of gravity in engaging defenders and relentlessly finishes blocks downfield. His polished fundamentals as a blocker with his hands and footwork along with tremendous commitment to the blocking responsibilities at the TE position stand out among other players at the position. Lines up as both h-back and split out as a receiver with strong hands and exceptional athleticism to run after the catch. He is a downhill runner that is difficult to tackle in open space and finishes runs strong. Committed to U.C. Davis with offers from Army, Fresno St., and Eastern Washington. With a strong senior campaign, he should see more offers coming in. 2. [player_tooltip player_id="25135" first="Carlton" last="Brown"], 2021, Mission Prep Catholic, 6’6” 220 lbs. A tall and physically gifted athlete at 6’6” 220 lbs. that can line up at both TE and WR. His size and athleticism make him a matchup nightmare on the outside as a vertical and red zone threat racking up 16 touchdowns in his junior season. Knows how to use his size and length to get up and get the ball over smaller defenders and has strong hands to make catches in traffic. Showed great improvement from his sophomore to junior year in his route running ability and looks faster in his straight-line speed and coming out of breaking routes. Depending on how coaches decide to use him at the next level, he could end up operating primarily split out wide at receiver. Currently committed to Nevada and holds offers from Pac-12 schools Utah and Oregon St. 3. Larry Brown, 2021, Stockdale, 6’5” 215 lbs. A talented and instinctive football player at the TE and WR positions. Displays impressive athleticism and range for his size and likely to add more bulk to his frame. Knows how to get open and shows great instincts finding space in scramble drills. As a blocker, he is physical at the POA and has an explosive first step. Possesses the raw tools and ability to become an impactful playmaker at the next level. Does not hold any offers currently, but has drawn interest from Fresno St., Nevada, San Jose St., and UNLV. His recruiting exposure would’ve benefited from offseason camps and showcases but should see his stock rise in his senior season.
