Still On The Board

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With NLI National Signing Day fast approaching this coming Wednesday I thought I would take a look at some of the top uncommitted prospect still on the recruiting boards who have not made their decisions yet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='37684' first='Chase' last='Hendricks'] | WR | 6'0" 189 | St. Mary's |</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br>This talented receiver has been a Mr. consistent in helping the Dragons win back-to-back state championships, and has been a playmaker for them for four years. This past season he accounted for 21 touchdowns overall, including 14 receiving to go along with 932 yards and a 23.9 yards per catch average. He also had 4 more rushing and 3 more in returns. His ability to get open and make a play after the catch. Hendricks has had up to 15 offers at one point but is keeping his recruitment close to the vest as to what his decision will be.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image --> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img alt="" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='193114' first='Arhmad' last='Branch'] | WR | 6'0" 180 | Festus |</strong><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":622389,"width":434,"height":392,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/01/image0-1.jpeg?w=810" alt="" class="wp-image-622389" width="434" height="392" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Branch is one of the top athletes overall in the Missouri 2023 class with good speed and a 40" vertical jump. He received an All Star award at the 2022 Elite Football Combine and was his Tigers leading receiver his senior season. He could play on the defensive side of the ball in college if coaches wanted to. He recently picked up an offer from Purdue and is on an official visit their this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='249612' first='Kael' last='Combs'] | WR | 6'4" 195 | Nixa |</strong><br>Combis is another top flight two-sport athlete who plays receiver. He has the size and frame to possibly play TE on the next level in a few years. Very good speed and tremendous hands. He produced 9 TDs and over 600 yards his senior year. He has offers reportedly from Southern Miss and Missouri State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Javon Smith | DE | 6'3" 240 | Liberty North</strong> |<br>Javon is a very athletic and powerful DE/EDGE prospect who was considered more of a basketball prospect until the last couple of seasons. He has tremendous upside that colleges such as Army and Navy look at and have offered. In fact he is at West Point this weekend on an official visit. He's a player I expect to continue to get better on the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='300258' first='Gavin' last='Marsh'] | WR | 6'0" 175 | Marquette </strong>|<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":493006,"width":406,"height":413,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/10/Boom-Media-Day-050.jpg?w=400" alt="" class="wp-image-493006" width="406" height="413" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Marsh was one of the most productive wide receivers in the state of Missouri the last two season. This past season he had over 1,200 yards and 15 touchdowns. He has shown tremendous hands, ability to get open and superior speed with a 4.59 laser forty at Lindenwood Camp last June. Right now it looks like Missouri and Boise State are in the best position to land him. Look for him to be a factor wherever he goes.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image --> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img alt="" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='99471' first='Dakotah' last='Mayo'] | WR | 5'9" 175 | CBC</strong><br>Another speedy receiver who played on back-to-back state championship teams and played a significant role. Mayo is also a good return man who is dangerous in the open field. He has a final group listed of Memphis, Wyoming, Western Kentucky, Toledo and Jacksonville State he'll make a decision from.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
