However, when it comes to the gridiron, Parnell is a kid blessed with sneaky athleticism and the ability to simply run away from people. When Keilon has the ball in his hands, it rarely impedes his quickness and ability to get in and out of his cuts. This shiftiness allows him to hit another gear and make routine plays explode for huge chunks of yards and even touchdowns. Similar to the manner that NFL Superstar Deebo Samuel approaches each of his touches. Keilon has seen snaps at wide receiver, slot receiver, quarterback and at tail back this fall. He is a jack of all trades offensively that has a respectable build with over-exceptional quickness and athleticism. With that being said, Deebo Samuel was the first player that came to mind when I pondered on whom to compare Keilon to. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_633edfe065c43","name":"acf/evaluation-block","align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Rivers Godwin | 2023 WR | MRA | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/9919507/Rivers-Godwin">https://www.hudl.com/profile/9919507/Rivers-Godwin</a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Comparison: Adam Thielen (WR) Vikings</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":468952,"width":258,"height":169,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/10/Untitled-design-1-crop-940x618-1665065624.png" alt="" class="wp-image-468952" width="258" height="169"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_633ee01e65c44","name":"acf/evaluation-block","align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mr.Godwin out of MRA is a track athlete as well as a football player that has all the attributes and tools that make up a well-rounded, reliable wide-out. As previously mentioned, the stud wide out is a track, and he has sub - 4.5 40 speed that translates well onto the football field. Outside of his speed, this kid is an excellent route runner that understands spacing. Rivers' routes are timed correctly and void of any wasted movement. I have seen him come across the middle, take the screen to the house, and also take the top off of defenses. When you look at his game you just don't find many holes or faults in how he approaches the game. Rivers put me in the mind of Mr.White Chocolate himself in this regard, Adam Thielen. He's just an all around, quintessential, do it all wide receiver that moves like butter, but can also be a technician when need be.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='346420' first='Gavin' last='Griffin'] | 2024 RB | Velma Jackson | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12787237/Gavin-Griffin">https://www.hudl.com/profile/12787237/Gavin-Griffin</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Comparison: Alvin Kamara RB (Saints)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":469042,"width":255,"height":167,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none","className":"is-style-default"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-default"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/10/Untitled-design-2-crop-940x618-1665068816.png" alt="" class="wp-image-469042" width="255" height="167"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>6, The number of touchdowns that both of these guys pictured up above scored in the best game of their careers. [player_tooltip player_id='346420' first='Gavin' last='Griffin'] is a shifty, impregnable, fearless, and strong runner that has an immeasurable amount balance when facing contact running the football. This guy is just flat out hard to tackle for any defense or defender that he faces. Griffin reminds me of Alvin Kamara as a runner, and if you watch his film it is apparent to see just why I say that. Gavin has the god-given natural ability to be able to get in and out of his cuts while speeding up or slowing down. That attribute along with the elusiveness he shows on film are both skills that are developed way past what a kid his age would normally be. As a 2024 prospect [player_tooltip player_id='346420' first='Gavin' last='Griffin'] shows that he is more than capable of playing the position at the next level. Whichever program and Offensive Coordinator lucky enough to get the young AK will be getting a stud of a Running Back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='289137' first='Garrison' last='Davis'] | 2025 QB | Ridgeland | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/15025608/632c61417bd4880d6061a068">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/15025608/632c61417bd4880d6061a068</a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Comparison: Kyler Murray (QB) Cardinals</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":469129,"width":263,"height":173,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/10/Untitled-design-3-1-crop-940x618-1665072059.png" alt="" class="wp-image-469129" width="263" height="173"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mr. [player_tooltip player_id='289137' first='Garrison' last='Davis'] is a 2025 recruit out of Ridgeland High School. The sophomore quarterback is a dual sport athlete that doubles as a football and a baseball player for the Titans. The young QB is currently leading the state in passing yards with 1,716 yards through his first 6 games. Garrison is also boasting an impressive touchdown to interception ratio of 5:1 with 21 touchdowns and only 4 picks. Now I know what you're thinking; This kid plays with [player_tooltip player_id='106165' first='Ayden' last='Williams'], [player_tooltip player_id='109003' first='Ja'Braxton' last='Boone'] and several others that make up one of the most loaded skilled groups in the state. Hear me out though, there is a reason that I compared this kid to Kyler Murray. [player_tooltip player_id='289137' first='Garrison' last='Davis'] is just as much responsible for the Ridgeland Titans productivity as much as any of their wide-outs, if not more. Both standing at 5'10 with utter-worldly athleticism and arm talent, Garrison and Kyler each have similar playing styles that are impressive to watch. Check out his film in the link above!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
