Premier Showstoppers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>To stand out in the state of Utah on the gridiron you have to show up each week and produce. These four players did that consistently. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='532690' first='Cooper' last='Swasey'] || WR || 6'2 || 180 || Payson High School || 2024</strong><span style="font-size: revert;color: initial;font-family: var(--wp--preset--font-family--system-fonts)">Swasey is an elite receiver who can make plays lining up on the outside or in the slot. He has elite top end speed that enable him to take the top off defenses. Swasey does a good job adjusting to the ball in the air and has great hands. He has good body control and always finds a way to get one foot down on the sideline. Swasey does a good job holding onto catches despite early contact from defensive backs. He fights for ever yard and racks up lots of yards after the catch. Swasey is one of the top receivers returning in high school football and will no doubt make a few more big plays. </span></p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ben Howard || OL || 6'4 || 285 || Skyridge High School || 2025</strong><br>Howard was an essential piece to the Falcons 2022 state championship. The sensational sophomore shut down some of the states top pass rusher and kept the blind side clean all season long. He's an elite athlete at the tackle possession who thrives in the open field dishing out pancake blocks. Howard is overpowering in the run game where he explodes off the snap to drive defenders back. In pass protection he has a strong punch and a good base that keeps defensive ends at bay. Howard still has two years left and soon every team at the next level will be hoping he spends the next four with them. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Traie Buhler || WR || 6'4 || 170 || Canyon High School || 2024 </strong><br>Buler tracks the ball incredibly well on the outside. The 6'4 junior does a good job speeding up or slowing down to make memorable grabs on the outside. Buler is a good route runner who specializes in faking short routes before running defenses by going deep. He's tough to bring down once he secures the catch. Buler has a mean stiff arm and strong legs he's used to break out of tackles. He thrives making contested catches were his length and wingspan allow him to bringing in 50/50 balls. Buler also relishes blocking on the optusied and loves to dish out big hits to spring big plays. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kade Edwards || QB || 5'10 || 150 || Payson High School || 2024</strong><br>Edwards is an accurate passer who makes big time throws from the pocket. He delivers a great ball over the middle of the field and outside the number. Edwards has a lively arm and isn't afraid to give his playmakers chances downfield. He does a good job scanning the field and isn't fazed by pressure in his face. Edwards can make big throws on the move or scramble for first downs. In addition he does a good job buying his playmakers time downfield by avoiding sacks. He's a good leader who will do whatever is asked of him to help him get the win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
