Week 1 Review: Impact Performances

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>QB Korbin Mccarney, Borah HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>The talented signal caller passed for 170+ yards and tossed three touchdowns during week 1 of the season and showed that he can manage the game and be very efficient with the ball as he went over a 65% completion percentage with 0 interceptions.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>QB [player_tooltip player_id='336936' first='Matt' last='Irwin'], Owyhee HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>One of the fastest rising Junior prospects across the state, Irwin had a nice showing during the opening week of the season as he got the win over Madison. He is an electric athlete out of the backfield with a strong arm and accuracy downfield, while able to fit the ball into tight windows and make plays on the ground and throw on a rope while scrambling. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>RB [player_tooltip player_id='396053' first='Parker' last='Rushton'], Borah HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Rushton is one of the best two-way players Idaho has to offer and is tough and physical from both his running back and linebacker spot. In week 1, he took 17 carries for 100+ yards and was running hard in-between the tackles while showing good pad level, leg drive and delivering a blow upon contact. Active on defense, he will be the best player on the field most weeks and started his season off strong. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>RB Trenton Fisher, Homedale HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Fisher had an unbelievable Week 1 performance and picked up right where he left off in 2021. He carried the rock 17 times for 153 yards and tacked on another 6 touchdowns on the ground. He is a very compact and physical runner that can also evade tacklers in the short area with some wiggle and shows natural forward lean and a low pad level through contact. He is well on his way to having a 1k+ yard season for Homedale and is a D-III+ caliber college player at the next level. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>LB [player_tooltip player_id='336952' first='Shea' last='Robertson'], Meridian HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Robertson was all over the field in week 1 and to no surprise, he is going to be a big time problem on defense this season. He is very physical and athletic that can make tackles outside the box while having a quick trigger when shooting the gap and brings a nice thump at contact. He racked up 10 tackles and 1 TFL on Friday night</em> and should see FBS and FCS interest come his way through the season and into next off-season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TE [player_tooltip player_id='336826' first='CJ' last='Jacobsen'], Rocky Mountain HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Jacobsen did not disappoint as he erupted for over 100 yards receiving and 1 touchdown while showing that he is a smooth route runner and a big time target downfield with big hands and can make contested catches. He is one of the top uncommitted prospects on the Western Region and currently holds 15 offers. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center"} --> <p class="has-text-align-center"><strong><em>Other Impact Players...</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center"} --> <p class="has-text-align-center"><em>WR/DB Mason Mayer, Meridian HS</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center"} --> <p class="has-text-align-center"><em>DB [player_tooltip player_id='396054' first='Lincoln' last='Gee'], Cole Valley Christian HS</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center"} --> <p class="has-text-align-center"><em>DL Chase Cooper, Homedale HS</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center"} --> <p class="has-text-align-center"><em>TE/DE Cole Sherman, Cole Valley Christian HS</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"center"} --> <p class="has-text-align-center"><em>QB Zeke Martinez, Meridian HS</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
