<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Western Pennsylvania is a region that's rich with football talent yearly. The transfer portal has altered recruiting for high school prospects in terms of visibility. Due to the abundance of eligible recruits, some high school athletes have become recruiting collateral damage. I'm going to be highlighting some of the underrated or unheralded prospects around western pa in the 2023 &amp; 2024 classes. These recruits spotlighted are either uncommitted or haven't been offered altogether in a lot of cases. These gems will be introduced in a series of articles to adequately spotlight their abilities. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_635d60f871ccd","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["127222"],"_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":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eBoyd's a D1 prospect that already has 4 offers from FCS Marist, Division 2 Clarion, Walsh u0026amp; Mercyhurst.

The EF standout is averaging 32.9 yds per catch presently. He's capable of stretching the defense out on deep routes due to his speed. This season, Boyd has 30 catches for 988 yds u0026amp; 18 TDs.

He's a dual sport star that currently has a basketball offer from Pitt. Keondre does have a lone FCS football scholarship from the St. Francis Red Flash. Deshields could improve on his top-end speed but his overall agility is still elite. KD‘s 6'3 frame mixed with his ball skills equals deep ball completions. His basketball skills translate well to WR in the Redzone on 50/50 passes.u003cspan class=u0022Apple-converted-spaceu0022u003e  u003c/spanu003eHe's agile u0026amp; nimble releasing versus press man.

The senior is a dual-threat Quarterback with a quick release. Morsillo would be ideal in a zone-read RPO-style offense in college. Keyshawn has good QB mechanics on play-action fakes and keeps his eyes downfield. The competitive QB knows how to get the ball to his targets quickly. He isn't a run-first guy, but Key is capable of gnashing defenses scrambling. Morsillo's escapability can kill teams blitzing u0026amp; playing man too much on the backend. The 23' prospect gets the ball out with good anticipation u0026amp; placement. He throws great on rollouts and possesses the ability to improv on broken plays. KM has a strong arm u0026amp; throws a good deep ball.

The senior is competitive u0026amp; shows his ability to make people miss on film. Singleton is good at releasing off-the-line vs press man technique. Trey's a playmaker that runs crisp routes that cause separation. The 23' prospect has strong hands making grabs. Singleton displays a lot of wiggle u0026amp; agility getting in and out of his breaks. Trey possesses 4.6 speed which allows him to break away when he gets out in the open.
