Here are some guys I would love to have on my squad if I was a Director of Player Personnel. Check them out!   Raymond Thomas - SS - Fulton HS / @FultonFootball   Thomas has an outstanding drive to make a play every down and doesn't let anyone push him around. While he may get knocked back at times, he will always be right in the play every time and make his presence known. He covers a lot of ground in zone coverage and has the skillset to cover in man coverage. He has the size, strength, and speed to keep up with tight ends and wide receivers, and stack them up.   Javion Kinnard - RB - Pearl-Cohn HS / @JavionKinnard1   Very calm and understanding in the vision department. He understands blocking concepts. Waits for the play and hole to develop and then takes off. He knows where there are soft spots in the second and third levels as well which helps him pick a lane and never look back. Good timing and patience can go a long way here.   [player_tooltip player_id='616519' first='Rhyan' last='Brown'] - RB - Melrose HS / @RhyanBrown9   Brown can absorb contact in a terrific manner. He can brush off hits or tackles with no problem due to his lower center of gravity. Keeps his legs always moving through contact and with his power and strong feet, he can recover very quickly. He likes to use his off arm to keep him stabilized against defenders and keeps him firm in open space.   Marquell Patterson - WR - South-Doyle HS / @SouthDoyleKeeFB   Patterson can generate some highlight reel sideline plays. His spatial awareness on the sidelines is tremendous. His tracking of the ball and body control are excellent. Patterson will be effective at back shoulder catches and catches outside of his frame. Overall, the ability to track and contort his body to adjust to footballs outside of his frame is one of his best traits and will be his calling card at the next level.    [player_tooltip player_id='390641' first='Aja' last='Jones'] - WR - Marshall County HS / @Thatboyaja   Jones use of hands allows him to work through contact and not be disrupted in his routes or timing. One of the most surprising elements of Jones' route running is his ability to sink into his routes when making a break. It allows him to explode out of breaks and create some separation.
