He has elite ball skills along with strong, durable hands. His body control and ability to contort himself in the air to catch the ball is what sets him apart from others in his class. He's excellent after the catch and knows how to go up and bring the ball down in tight coverage. His hands, speed, and ability to create separation make him one of the top overall receivers in North Georgia and in the entire 5A classification. He's headed to the University of Georgia for a reason and it's because he's one of the very best. He's one to keep an eye on in round two.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='329308' first='Jarvis' last='Hayes'] - Ware County</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A big-play senior who knows how to get behind a defense, Hayes has made play after play all season for a very strong Ware County Gators team. He has plenty of top end speed and knows how to be a legitimate down-field option on a consistent basis. Not only does he have speed, but he shows soft, reliable hands as well. He has good feet, can change directions well, and just has a knack for making plays. Hayes caught 40 passes this season for 773 yards for an average of 19 yards per catch. He's gone over 100 yards in four games this season and reeled in a touchdown catch in every game but one so far this season. Look for the ball to come his way often against Chamblee in round two.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='418493' first='Peyton' last='Zachary'] - Kell</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top freshmen players across Georgia this year, the explosive receiver from Cobb County made a big impact for the Kell offense from day one and never looked back. Don't let his small stature fool you. Zachary has game-changing speed and knows how to get behind a defense. He's a giant vertical threat and dangerous anytime he has the ball in his hands. The Kell program is back on the rise and it's due to players like Zachary. They're going up against a strong Calhoun team in round two so expect Zachary to see plenty of passes come his way this weekend. On the season, the freshman phenom has caught 46 passes for 767 yards and six touchdowns on the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='329357' first='Kenric' last='Lanier']</strong> -<strong> Decatur</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top receivers in the Atlanta area, Lanier is a big-play threat every time he has the ball. He's been one of the most productive receivers in the Atlanta area this season and one of the best overall in 5A. The Vanderbilt commitment is a strong route runner, can create separation from most defensive backs, and knows how to go up and snag the football in tight coverage. He's a true ball magnet and has dominated all season as a senior. Thee sure-handed wideout has caught 49 passes for 840 yards and nice touchdowns for an average of 84 yards per game. Look for him to have a big game in round two against Coffee.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
