Pass Catchers Of The Week

The WR's and TE's this week put up some ridiculous numbers, two of which competing in the same game. They were constant mismatches all night and proved to be an easy target to identify. Here's a look at 4 players who played lights out this past week: <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-24524" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2020/06/Generic-Featured-Image-5-300x187.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="187" /> [player_tooltip player_id="87218" first="Cooper" last="Christensen"], <em>6’1" 190lbs, Royal HS ’21</em> Christensen is no stranger to big time performances. He was able to record 10 receptions for 200 yards and 3 TD’s to get the win over Moses Lake. He was a constant mismatch all night, as he was always open like 7/11. He does a great job adjusting to the ball to make the catch. Big time deep threat on the night where he had 3 plays where he completely took the top off the Moses Lake defense. He showcased solid top end speed to generate that separation from DB’s as he was able to haul in 3 long catches for 45+ yards. Big time game for Christensen, and he remains uncommitted.

He does a great job setting up his routes to frequently generate separation. He displayed good physicality after the catch, as he is a tough kid and doesn’t shy away from contact. He’s a good route runner overall. Anytime you can haul in 15 catches in a game, you’re a clear mismatch. He showed the ability to haul in contested catches and displayed strong hands all game. The Central Washington commit had a massive game, and will fit well in their system this upcoming fall. <strong>Gage Wilson</strong>, <em>5'9" 155lbs, Moses Lake HS '21</em> Although Moses Lake was unable to beat royal High, Wilson was a major part of the Moses Lake offense with 8 catches for 146 yards and a TD, which included a 77 yard score. He has much room to put on size as he's very undersized, but his performance proved that he can ball and compete. He finds ways to get open, and does a great job of identifying the soft spots in zone coverages. Very underestimated player for Moses Lake, and he definitely proved himself the other day.<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-106121" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/02/PRZ-300x100.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="100" /> <strong>Tanner Beaman</strong>, <em>6'3" 225lbs, Skyview HS '22</em> Beaman had a very productive night on both sides of the ball as he hauled in 3 receptions for 97 yards and a TD, and also had a pick 6 on defense. He lined up as a down TE and was extremely effective. He looks the ball in to secure the catch and has a great understanding of when to get his head around to look for the ball. He has good size and the potential to be a big time player during his senior year, as he holds a very high ceiling. Definitely a 2022 kid to get on your radar.
