The 2025 QB will be a house hold name in the future. He plays with rhythm and makes the game look effortless. He has a great throwing technique which produces great zip and velocity. He has a quick release and is a gunslinger with unbelievable arm strength and produces an exceptional deep ball. The young sophomore received an offer from The University of Nebraska-Lincoln on December 2nd and many more will be pouring in. Will EJ have what it takes to lead and help his team beat Sandy Creek in the state championship this weekend? Get your popcorn ready, this is going to be a good one.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["121331"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"This kid is special a special linebacker. The 3 star athlete is everything you want in a DE. He is quick to read run, showing good agility and speed to get past blockers and finish. He possesses accurate snap anticipation and timing to beat blockers off the edge. As a pass rusher, he shows quickness off the line and has the fluid athleticism and flexibility to bend the edge. He has the strong core and powerful hands to shed blockers, and he shows excellent instincts with the ability to quickly locate the ball. This is going to be a great state championship game, can't wait to see how he performs against the stacked Sandy Creek Patriots.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Giemere Latimer","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2023","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Sandy Creek","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003cspan class=u0022pn-player-linku0022u003eu003cspan class=u0022name-pointeru0022u003eGeimere Latimer is the gunslinger at Sandy Creek.

He display's the natural speed and overall athleticism to stop quickly, change direction, and accelerate once again. Watts is an overall ATH that can play multiple positions and dominate, he can do it all. This year Watts caught 36 balls for 748 yards and 12 TD's. On the other side of the ball, 4 interception (2 pick six), 2FF and 12 PBU. With those numbers, he proves to be one of the top ATH in Atlanta. The state championship game is going to be fun to watch. I'm curious to see how he performs against Cedar Grove's secondary.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-638c860937620"} /-->
