Everyone gives credit to the players who are mainstream, but they never mention the ones who are working in the dark.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
As spring ball approaches, there are players from schools that rarely receive recognition. Here are some underrated players to watch out for this upcoming spring season.
<strong>ATH Kevin Williams Jennings High School c/o 2021</strong>. Although Jennings had struggles last year, they

still had athletes that gave it their all. Williams was one of those athletes who showed potential and played hard every rep. Last year, he contributed a lot on the Warriors offense, rushing for 221 yards and scoring three touchdowns. Williams is also an outstanding basketball player for his high school. This says a lot about his athletic ability when playing receiver, going up and coming down with the ball. Williams also had 205 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He will be a huge asset to the Warriors, going out with [player_tooltip player_id="96658" first="A" last="b"]ang for his senior year.

<strong>WR [player_tooltip player_id="37554" first="Isaiah" last="Harris"] U-City High School c/o 2022.</strong> U-City is home to many talented athletes, from Ronnell and Ronnie Perkins to Sam Brown. [player_tooltip player_id="37554" first="Isaiah" last="Harris"] is a dog that has made a lot of plays last year. He was one of the top receivers on the offense, catching for 260 yards and four touchdowns. Harris runs hard whenever he has the ball in his hands. He also does a tremendous job cutting up field, gaining extra yards for his team. Harris’s athletic ability also makes it very difficult for defenders to bring him down, for he just keeps going. The 5’10 170 pound receiver can also play really well at the safety position. His ball skills are immaculate, which is highly expected since he is a receiver. Harris will be a top notch player for the next two years.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

back, but they still have more weapons in their pocket. Price is a force to be reckon with on offense and is a threat to defenses in the Suburban XII conference. The 5’7 175 lbs back is extremely fast and elusive. Whenever he touches the ball, the only thing on his mind is to score. Last year, Price rushed for 213 yards and three touchdowns. His downhill speed and ability to break tackles will be a huge advantage for the Hawks this upcoming season. Price will catch a lot of college coaches’ attention this upcoming spring as well.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
