<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 3 in the state of Missouri saw some familiar names, as well as some new ones, put up impressive numbers in another fantastic week of Show-Me state football on display. Here is a look at some of the top performers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='217662' first='Joseph' last='Vick'] | 2023 | 6'4" 190 | QB | Kansas City Center |</strong><br>This talented QB from KC has impressed me since his sophomore season with his potential, and has done well, but he is on another level this year. Vick was 18-20 for 370 yards and 5 TDs in week #3.He's a very good athlete (also plays basketball) with big arm, and who's really smooth with his overall skill set as a gunslinger. He has a high ceiling and just keeps getting better. Joe has passed for 798 yards and 8 TDs so far this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":445714,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/09/Joseph-Vick-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-445714"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='326733' first='Drevyn' last='Seamon'] | 2025 | 5'10" 165 | WR/RB | Columbia Rock Bridge</strong> <strong>|</strong><br>The speedy sophomore has had a great start on his way to a breakout season. I invited him to the Elite Football Combine this past March and he did not disappoint with his speed, athleticism, and skills he showed. He's now doing it on the field and had 10 receptions for 170 yards and 3 TDs, along with 6 carries for 60 more yards and score. He is quick, fast, elusive and and a real for opponents in the open field. He's developed a great connection with big-time junior QB [player_tooltip player_id='335510' first='Sam' last='Kaiser'], and is name to keep on eye on this season and the next two years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":445716,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/09/Elite-Combine-2022-117.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-445716"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Colton Nichols</strong> <strong>| 2024 | 6'0" 185 | QB | Hallsville |</strong><br><br>A talented multi-sport athlete who really had a monster night this past Friday against Boonville in a tough 59-58 overtime loss scoring 8 TDs overall.
