Week Two Top Performers: Offense

We are now two weeks into the high school football season and players are starting to heat up.  This is when players look to show college coaches that they can put together a string of impressive performances.  The good news for college coaches is that we have had some incredible performances so far, despite being only two weeks into the season.  Making this list once is impressive, but can you make it twice? Let’s find out as we dive into the top offensive performers of week two. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="135012" first="Dylan" last="Bisson"], 5’11" 170, Mount Island Charter</strong> <strong>Stats:</strong> 14-17, 423 pass yards, 3 pass TD’s, 1 rush TD, 1 INT. [player_tooltip player_id="135012" first="Dylan" last="Bisson"] is one of those players that is looking to string together consistent impressive performances as he has now made this list two weeks in a row.  This week, however, Bisson took a much bigger step. While throwing for 423 yards is undoubtedly impressive, Bisson's selection of throws stood out to me most.  Bisson had as many touchdown passes as he did incompletions, which means he was selective with his throws, and when he did unleash it he was dead on target.  He was controlling the game in a veteran-savvy way.  Bisson is starting his senior year hotter than any other quarterback in the state right now.  Look for college coaches to start zoning in on Bisson as he continues this season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="141291" first="Lucas" last="Lenhoff"], 6’2" 205, Myers Park High School</strong> <strong>Stats:</strong> 10-15, 225 pass yards, 4 touchdowns [player_tooltip player_id="141291" first="Lucas" last="Lenhoff"] bounced back from a tough week 1 to a near-perfect week 2 performance. Lenhoff was throwing with accuracy all night long as he only had 5 incompletions.  He was able to lead his receivers into space so they had room to run after the catch.  Lenhoff showed off his football IQ a couple of times on Friday as well, knowing when the defense was in zone coverage and exploiting them.  Lenhoff is the 4th ranked quarterback in our senior rankings, let’s see how he builds off this performance. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="141260" first="Devin" last="Gardner"], 5’11" 240, Harrells Christian Academy</strong> <strong>Stats:</strong> 31 carries, 259 yards, 5 touchdowns [player_tooltip player_id="141260" first="Devin" last="Gardner"] is a fascinating college prospect because of the type of running back that he is.  This week he displayed all the skills he has in his repertoire, and he was unstoppable.  Gardner is a power-runner that is very hard to take down once he gets moving.  What makes him fascinating is the speed that he has to go with his strength and power.  Gardner showed both of those traits on Friday night, bouncing off a couple of early tackles and then accelerating to the endzone for a 51-yard touchdown run.  At 5’11" 240, Gardner is a back that defenders simply do not want to see. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="28635" first="Omarion" last="Hampton"], 6’0" 215, Cleveland High School</strong> <strong>Stats:</strong> 9 carries, 178 yards, 3 touchdowns [player_tooltip player_id="28635" first="Omarion" last="Hampton"], committed to UNC, is making things look easy out there.  Almost every time he touches the ball a big play is bound to happen as he is averaging 19.8 yards a carry.  It’s obvious that opposing defenses are having a hard time taking Omarion to the ground, he is a big running back with excellent lower body strength.  The biggest contribution to his 19.8 yards per game is his ability to pick up extra yards after contact and run through some defenders when needed.  Typically Omarion is a workhouse type of running back, hand him the ball as many times as you want, but lately, he has been getting the job done with a minimal amount of touches. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="109146" first="Wesley" last="Grimes"], 6’3" 180, Millbrook High School</strong> <strong>Stats:</strong> 8 catches, 152 yards, 2 touchdowns [player_tooltip player_id="109146" first="Wesley" last="Grimes"] is the prototypical wide receiver that every coach would love to get their hands on.  At 6’3" 180, he has D1 size and speed and is nearly unstoppable on Friday nights.  His route running ability is some of the best I have seen and he does it in a myriad of ways: whether he is taking simple screen passes to the house, or high pointing a 50-yard bomb and bringing it down for a touchdown.  [player_tooltip player_id="109146" first="Wesley" last="Grimes"] is ranked 2nd among all wide receivers in the senior class for a reason. <strong>Cole Hart, 6’0" 170, Mount Island Charter</strong> <strong>Stats:</strong> 4 catches, 202 yards, 2 touchdowns Cole Hart and his quarterback [player_tooltip player_id="135012" first="Dylan" last="Bisson"] were on the same page all night, giving Cabarrus High School a fit.  At one point, Hart was left in single man coverage on the outside, Bisson noticed that and lofted up a 30-yard pass, Hart went up and made a catch over his defender that can only be described as a "You Got Moss’d" moment.  Other than having great hands, Hart is phenomenal at picking up yards after the catch.  I believe that is when he is most dangerous to opposing defenses, just like we saw Friday night. &nbsp;
