I don't think there is enough hype building around this young man that just looked different in the open field. I have watched my fair share of high school football, with talent on both ends of the spectrum. Occasionally, you see a kid that you know is different. I got that feeling when watching Prescott torch an incredibly talented Cheltenham defense. We think of Prescott as a top-three defensive back in his class, yet we might want to reconsider his transition to ATH. Hard not to when you open up the tapes and see what's he capable of with the ball in his hands. It's hard to raise your stock when you are already highly thought of. Prescott is doing just that.rnrnSome love needs to be shown to the often forgotten [player_tooltip player_id='27738' first='Ronel' last='Nukah'], a pass rusher that seemingly doesn't get the national attention that he used to. He had himself a game to remind people just how dominant he can be on the field. Nukah broke this game open and ended all hope for a Cheltenham comeback with a massive strip-sack late in the game. Nukah also played out of position. His offseason work paid, making sure his body was right to play pretty much anywhere along the defensive line or even at linebacker. Attention should shift back to Nukah, a prospect I'm hoping can capitalize on a big night.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/OmgRonny3_/status/1566196586249703427?s=20u0026t=RRQ41B0tEs1qDsq3mLGGIQ","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/OmgRonny3_/status/1566196586249703427?s=20&amp;t=RRQ41B0tEs1qDsq3mLGGIQ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/KahmirPrescott/status/1566080617393053699?s=20u0026t=RRQ41B0tEs1qDsq3mLGGIQ.","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/KahmirPrescott/status/1566080617393053699?s=20&amp;t=RRQ41B0tEs1qDsq3mLGGIQ. </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6316f089df9e0","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["140969"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='140969' first='Khadir' last='Rowe'] stood out to me.

This was my first time seeing [player_tooltip player_id='142836' first='Tre' last='McLeod'] in a Cheltenham uniform, it was also the best version of [player_tooltip player_id='142836' first='Tre' last='McLeod'] I've seen to date. Cheltenham was already up against the odds, considering they were without Anthony Torres or [player_tooltip player_id='142809' first='Jonathan' last='Ingram']. The quarterback situation was shaky at best, yet [player_tooltip player_id='142836' first='Tre' last='McLeod']'s efforts behind center helped alleviate the pain. McLeod seemingly touched the football on every offensive play, either handing the ball off or taking the rock himself. This is a stout Northeast defense, McLeod was admittedly beaten up and cramped to death towards the end of this one. My respect goes out to McLeod, he showed real toughenss.rnrnMcLeod chewed up yardage in between the tackles or scrambling as a passer. He finished runs with authority, the authority of a top prospect at his position. McLeod even passed the ball some, coming up with a huge pass to [player_tooltip player_id='377326' first='Julian' last='Arthur'] for a score in this one. Couldn't be more impressed by the young man.rnrnThe same can be said about top 20 prospect [player_tooltip player_id='66046' first='Kion' last='Wright']. I know all about [player_tooltip player_id='66046' first='Kion' last='Wright'] the pass rusher, yet unfamiliar with Wright the all-around linebacker. His frame suits this type of versatility. He's thinned out, which could elevate his stock even further.rnrnPlenty of TFLs were made by the senior, showing off his timing as a blitzer, as well as his speed through the gap when reading the run. Kion set the tone for the Panther defense.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/tremcleod13/status/1566941620162945024?s=20u0026t=RRQ41B0tEs1qDsq3mLGGIQ","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/tremcleod13/status/1566941620162945024?s=20&amp;t=RRQ41B0tEs1qDsq3mLGGIQ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/kionwright5/status/1566871420612841480?s=20u0026t=RRQ41B0tEs1qDsq3mLGGIQ","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/kionwright5/status/1566871420612841480?s=20&amp;t=RRQ41B0tEs1qDsq3mLGGIQ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6316ef29df9d3","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["248921"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Safe to say [player_tooltip player_id='248921' first='Zahiem' last='Welton'] out-played his rank Thursday night.
