He already has great size for a D1 receiver at 6'3 190lbs and uses it to his advantage. He can make redzone jump balls look easy and shows good sideline awareness when the ball is in the air. After the catch he can make defenders miss, break tackles, and out run a defense. Jhalil's ceiling is very high, keep an eye on him as he becomes a key part of Dunbar's offense. Anderson already has 1 offer from Marshall University.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-641ca38a616ac"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/bandchasingju/status/1621890745689939969?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/bandchasingju/status/1621890745689939969?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["365928"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Humphries is a speedy spark plug for Atholton.
