Today we will be taking a deeper look into the 2024 stock risers. This class is surpassing expectation with this amount of talent, let’s take a look..</p> <p><br />[player_tooltip player_id="249162" first="Gideon" last="Ituka"]</p> <p>After today Gideon will be a well-known name amongst the 2024 running backs. Physically he’s already college ready at 5’9 220lbs, he possesses great run power and strength. It’s safe to say that he’s in the running for top power back in the state. This past season he ran for 850+ yards in 8 games with a rushing average of 108.6, and average 6 yds per carry. If you think that is impressive you should see his film. He has a lethal stiff arm to match the powerful running style and the speed to break off big plays to compliment his relentless effort.</p> <p>[embed]https://twitter.com/GideonItuka25/status/1460243226166759425?s=20[/embed]</p> <p><br />[player_tooltip player_id="264167" first="Santino" last="Sanchez"]</p> <p>Sanchez is a subtle weapon for McDonough who specialized in crossing routes. He played the role of a possession receiver in 2021 but with the loss of so much offensive firepower in [player_tooltip player_id="90502" first="Preston" last="Howard"], Martin, and [player_tooltip player_id="90606" first="Stefan" last="Egbe"], Sanchez will play a larger role in the offense’s success. Sanchez is naturally quick and shifty; his varsity experience will go a long way in his development. Expect Sanchez to gain more recognition as the season approaches, Eagle fans will be looking forward to the new faces of the program. </p> <p>[embed]https://twitter.com/sant1nosanchez1/status/1479110976410509312?s=20[/embed]</p> <p><img class="size-medium wp-image-185863 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/08/image0-9-300x297.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="297" />[player_tooltip player_id="249087" first="Ray" last="Moore"]</p> <p>Moore has been on the radar for some time now since winning MVP at Pylon - New Jersey. Since then, Moore transferred from 2A Patterson High in Baltimore to Freelance conference, Avalon School who played competition from the MIAA and WCAC conferences. Moore earned his play time and produced well for the Knights. He has huge arm talent, that aspect of his game did not disappoint, we witnessed it the summer prior to him transferring. His mobility and speed did raise some eyebrows this season and should be a part of his game to keep an eye on. His composure and consistency in big moments are veteran like, which matches his relaxed personality. At 6’6 as a sophomore QB his upside has no ceiling. </p> <p>[embed]https://twitter.com/2023Unit/status/1469409713683111940?s=20[/embed]</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="172214" first="Logan" last="Bennett"]</p> <p>Offers: Colorado, Maryland, Boston College</p> <p>Bennett has already started off the off-season at 100mph. I had the opportunity to evaluate Bennett at the <strong><em><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2021/12/gameday-recruits-1-showcase-offensive-standouts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gameday Recruits 1% Showcase: Offensive Standouts </a></em></strong>where he proved to be the best offensive linemen in attendance. He’s quick and can move with ease, and as tough as nails. He is just a downright better athlete than majority of the linemen in this class. With Bennett under the St. Francis Coaching staff, you can expect his recruitment to blow up over the next few months.   </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="172817" first="Devon" last="Baxter"]</p> <p>Offers: Maryland, Virginia Tech.</p> <p>Baxter is a very exciting player on the rise. At 6’7 235lbs you can’t help but keep an eye on this kid. The best part is that he’s a 6’7 that can move, I’m sure being a two-sport athlete (Basketball and Football) helps his athletic development a lot. on defense he uses his long arms to keep blockers from getting into his body, to bat down passes and cause havoc for any offensive coordinator. I can’t wait to see how his athletic development improves over the offseason; he has the potential to be a top 10 recruit in the state. </p> <p>[embed]https://twitter.com/devonlamount5/status/1466478392514068487?s=20[/embed]</p> <p><strong>Notable Mention:</strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="249314" first="Camron" last="Warren"]</p> <p><strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16448822/Camron-Warren" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Warren’s HUDL Highlights</a></em></strong></p> <p>Huge athlete shifting between tight end and offensive line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
