Marquan Jamerson
Marquan Jamerson
Jamerson gave out some crazy work against Pike Road Friday night. While setting the school record for touchdowns in a season – he snagged three scores in the first half and put the state on notice before the playoffs. Jamerson consistently created space against man coverage and did a great job of attacking the DB’s cushion and breaking them off at the top of the route. His explosiveness out of his cuts made him a handful to deal with in the secondary. The clean route running and dynamic speed makes him a three-level threat that has to be accounted for by any defensive coordinator he faces.
Will Wells
Will Wells
Wells put on a route running clinic against Providence Christian High and was one of the best receivers we’ve observed this week. He showed great bursts on his releases off the line of scrimmage and smoothness out his breaks. He also showed an ability to adjust and make catches away from his body – with a one-hand touchdown reception and a one-hand interception; it seems Wells was a highlight waiting to happen. When the ball was in his hands, he was exceptionally elusive and frequently made the first guy miss after the catch. Though we’re late in the season, if Wells can replicate this production, he’s sure to gain offers through the playoffs.
Jabari Collier
Jabari Collier
Collier’s performance against Oxford continues to solidify his spot as an elite dual-threat QB within the state. His top-tier acceleration, in addition to his track star speed, makes him a threat to score anytime there’s green grass in front of him. With two rushing touchdowns on 40+ yard runs, Collier is simply electric with the ball in his hands as a rusher. Though his primary asset is his legs, Collier has shown he’s more than capable of efficiently distributing the rock in the quick and intermediate game. With a fast release, he’s able to get the ball out and allow his receivers to make plays open field.
Nelson put his team on his back against Mt. Brook and led his guys to a regional championship. With 295 yards and four touchdowns on the ground, Nelson proved he’s going to get the job done by any means necessary. With natural runner instinct and vision, he sliced through the defense with smooth strides, subtle bursts, and elite lateral quickness in the open field. His ability to hit creases and accelerate to top speed was simply jaw-dropping and made him a nightmare in the open field. Though he primarily used his legs to grind out the victory, Nelson still showed flashes of elite arm talent and strength. The velocity and speed he got on the ball made the defense respect the threat of the pass and opened up the run game for him to exploit.
Highlights
McCarty continues to look like whoodini in cleats and make highlight-worthy scrambles as a top-tier improviser in the state. He’s ultra-dynamic as a ball carrier and seems to thrive on off-script/broken-down plays. McCarty did an excellent job against Southside (Gadsden), using his legs to extend plays and deliver bombs downfield. With an extremely live arm, he can throw with velocity on or off platform and push the ball down the field consistently.
