Arizona Twitter Spotlights Of The Week

This week’s spotlight features two of the most slept on players in the state. I got a chance to see one of them at the RVC Showcase, and there needs to be more hype about this kid, because he was absolutely lights out. The other of which was able to put up big numbers on the defensive side of the ball and was 2nd in 4A in tackles. Take a look at the Arizona offensive and defensive twitter spotlights of the week: <strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Offensive Spotlight<img class="alignright wp-image-140120" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/05/image0-225x300.jpeg" alt="" width="239" height="319" /></span></strong> <strong>Terryon Rowe</strong>, <em>WR, 6’0" 175lbs, Mountain Pointe HS ’22</em> <em>Film: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/10111675/Terryon-Rowe">https://www.hudl.com/profile/10111675/Terryon-Rowe</a></em> Rowe is possibly the most slept on WR in the state, and he needs to be on your radar ASAP. I got a chance to watch him at the RVC Showcase, and this kid can ball. He sizes up with good length for a 6’0" kid, and has loose hips with solid flexibility. Rowe is a fluid route runner and does an excellent job of setting up/disguising his routes. He frequently gets DB’s to turn hips too early or bite on double moves. He accelerates into his route and flashes a nice burst out of his stick on inside/outside routes to create that separation. He shows that top end game speed with change of direction and is dangerous in open space. He’s shown the ability to be shifty and make opponents miss. He’s a willing blocker in the run game and will finish blocks with aggressiveness. Although his film includes many short passing game concepts, Rowe has proved this offseason to be a complete receiver and can stretch the field. If Mountain Pointe unleashes Rowe this season, he will put up big time numbers. He is part of the talented "True Buzz" 7v7 team and has had a massive offseason. He put on about 15lbs of muscle and recently won "Offensive MVP" at the RVC Showcase ran be college coaches. Expect him to start pulling in offers very soon. https://twitter.com/terryonrowe16/status/1390065751449473025?s=20 <span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Defensive Spotlight</strong></span> [player_tooltip player_id="100660" first="Milo" last="Apodaca"], <em>LB, 6’1" 190lbs, Greenway HS ’22<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-136303" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/04/PRZ-Generic-Gray-300x187.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="187" /></em> <em>Film: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11821365/Milo-Apodaca">https://www.hudl.com/profile/11821365/Milo-Apodaca</a></em> Another big time sleeper here in Arizona. Apodaca was an absolute beast for Greenway his junior year as he racked up 102 total tackles, 65 of those being solo, 16 TFL’s, and 10.5 sacks in just a short 8 game season. Apodaca does an excellent job shedding and disengaging from blocks to blow up plays in the backfield. He displays solid reaction and instincts and can diagnose plays quickly, showing a good play rec and football IQ. He has good range as he's shown the ability to make plays from sideline to sideline by taking excellent pursuit tracks toward ball carriers. His 10.5 sacks proves he can be a lethal pass rusher, and as he continues to establish and build off his quickness he will only continue to develop into an even bigger threat. Apodaca does a great job at disguising blitzes, and times the snap perfectly to shoot through gaps and blow up plays in the backfield. He currently holds a 4.0 GPA and just landed his first offer from division 3 program University of Wisconsin-River Falls. He works closely with coach Lou Perrone, in which he will continue to draw in that attention and take his game to another level. Definitely a 2022 LB to get on your radar. https://twitter.com/apodaca_milo/status/1387086906035372034?s=20
