Class 6A: 2025 Ballers I’ll Offer Right Now

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some guys I would love to have on my squad if I was a Director of Player Personnel. Check them out!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1002741' first='Geron' last='Johnson'] - RB - Barlett HS / @johnsongeron1</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A multi-faceted running back who run, catch and block, Johnson is well-equipped to make the transition to the next level. He is blessed with top-notch speed, a thick-built lower body and his powerful, thick thighs enable him to break through arm tackles, which makes for great yards after contact contributions. Known as a full-blown workaholic who puts his head down and grinds daily, Johnson owns abnormal stamina. With his combination of vision, burst and strength, he could very well be a high impact player at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='219449' first='Tamari' last='Hill'] - RB - Oakland HS / @Tamarihill9</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hill plays above his size, issuing punishment on every carry. Pad level and power shine, allocating tough yardage. Burst and lower body strength rupture him through arm tackles on way to the second level. Displaces should-be tacklers with a forceful stiff arm and distinguished contact balance. Uses quick feet and reaction acuity to hit the right gap at the right time. Vision is sharp, using acute angles to get upfield. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Kani Johnson - WR - Centennial HS / @kanijohnson21</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson is a sudden, fluid, and flexible athlete who makes sharp cuts on a dime back to back. He has angle-beating long speed. The talented pass-catcher beats press with shiftiness and movement skills. In his routes, Johnson avoids telegraphing his pattern and uses quick feet, nuanced salesmanship, directional work, and speed adjustments to force defensive backs into false steps and errors before snapping off sharp breaks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Kole Phillips - MLB - Rossview HS / @KolePhillips30</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Athletic linebacker who can come downhill in a hurry and limit rushing yardage. Phillips has quick hands to stay clean when flowing to the sideline, taking advantage of his speed to make plays. His closing speed is very good. Linemen have a tough time locating and blocking him at the second level as he slips past blocks. He is physical, possessing the ability to shock blockers. He has a very high ceiling. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Immanuel Malone - NG - Cane Ridge / @immanuel_malone</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first step quickness and explosion Malone possesses from the inside is excellent. He has the natural ability to get after the quarterback from the 3-tech spot. His ability to convert speed to power is elite and he has violent hands to disrupt offensive guards. Can't wait to see what he has in store for the upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
