<p id="E9" class="x-scope qowt-word-para-0"><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong><em><span id="E10" class="qowt-font1-Arial">W</span><span id="E11" class="qowt-font1-Arial">ith the 2021 season upon us, I wanted to go in-depth about some players that stock is rising this offseason and that I believe will have break-out seasons in 2021. These players are all talented and have college level ability and skills. Nobody promotes more High School football prospects than Prep Redzone Florida!</span></em></strong></span></p>
<p id="E16" class="x-scope qowt-word-para-0"><strong><em><span id="E17" class="qowt-font1-Arial">Kevis Thomas, QB/ATH- Taylor County c/o 23</span></em></strong></p>
<p id="E18" class="x-scope qowt-word-para-0"><strong><em><span id="E19" class="qowt-font1-Arial">6’1 180lbs</span></em></strong></p>
<p id="E22" class="x-scope qowt-word-para-0"><span id="E23" class="qowt-font1-Arial">Thomas is a dual-threat QB that had a very good season last year throwing for 1293 yards, 10 touchdowns, and rushing for 1238 yards and 15 touchdowns. Thomas has a smooth throwing motion, good mechanics, and he is a good athlete. Throws with good zip on the ball on out routes, also is able to roll out and throw with the accuracy on the run. He shows the ability to scramble for big yards if the play breaks down and runs a 4.5 40. He’s a heck of an athlete that could play multiple positions at the next level.</span></p>

<p id="E33" class="x-scope qowt-word-para-0"><em><strong><span id="E34" class="qowt-font1-Arial">Nathan Carter- East Bay c/o 23</span></strong></em></p>
<p id="E37" class="x-scope qowt-word-para-0"><em><strong><span id="E38" class="qowt-font1-Arial">6’3 230lbs</span></strong></em></p>
<p id="E41" class="x-scope qowt-word-para-0"><span id="E42" class="qowt-font1-Arial">Carter was one of the surprise players in the Tampa area this year for East Bay, he passed for 1213 yards, seven touchdowns and rushed for 506 yards and eight touchdowns with one 100-yard rushing game. He doesn’t panic in the pocket showing poise and patience, and does a good job of keeping his eyes downfield for the open man, but he does have the athleticism, vision and power to pull the ball and pick up chunk yards. He has prototype size, and he shows nice touch on deep passes hitting his receivers in stride. Carter also is athletic enough to throw on the run with accuracy. </span></p>

<p id="E62" class="x-scope qowt-word-para-0"><span id="E63" class="qowt-font1-Arial">Holden and a productive season for Gainesville Eastside and will only improve the next few seasons, he passed for 1158 yards and four touchdowns. He operates out of a spread offense and does a good job getting the ball out of his hands quickly and knowing where to go with it. I expect him to make big improvements all around as a quarterback in the next few years. He’s a very smart student and player sporting a 5.0 GPA!</span></p>

<p id="E74" class="x-scope qowt-word-para-0"><strong><em><span id="E75" class="qowt-font1-Arial">Riley Willis- Bishop Moore High c/o 23</span></em></strong></p>
<p id="E76" class="x-scope qowt-word-para-0"><strong><em><span id="E77" class="qowt-font1-Arial">6’0 180lbs</span></em></strong></p>
<p id="E80" class="x-scope qowt-word-para-0"><span id="E81" class="qowt-font1-Arial">Willis is a very good dual-threat quarterback that led Orangewood Christian to a 7-4 record last season. This offseason he transferred to Bishop Moore, last year he passed for 1069 yards, 11 tds and completed 64% of his passes. He also rushed for 170 yards. He’s a very athletic player with 4.6 40 speed, shows poise, will take a hit and deliver the football, good mechanics </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">and throws a nice deep ball with touch and ball placement. He’s a good student in the 3.8 GPA. One to keep an eye on this season.</span></p>
