<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='416957' first='Julius' last='holly'] - DE/OLB - Alpharetta HS / @JuliusHolly5</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Holly is a standup rusher with good length, allowing him to outreach tackles when locking out. Holly plays with solid effort to translate to the next level. He keeps fighting and makes plays late in the run and pass game. An alert player, he has his hands ready to engage and keeps his eyes up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='418493' first='Peyton' last='Zachary'] - WR - Kell HS / @peytonzachary4</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Every time Zachary plays football, his agility is the first thing that pops out. He has very good footwork within small areas that keeps defenders guessing where he wants to go. Zachary also has a great knack of anticipating defenders attacking him, as he routinely evades tacklers when he has the ball in his hands in open space. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>JT Watkins - WR - Jefferson HS / @JTWatkins21</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Watkins shows resilience with the ball in his hands. He generates yards after the catch through a combination of spin and juke moves and broken arm tackles. Watkins has excellent field vision and an understanding of spacing. His acceleration and route savvy allows him to create natural separation against man and zone coverage. Watkins is a dynamic player capable of stringing together multiple moves and showing high-level elusiveness.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Christopher “Taz” Smith - ATH - Johns Creek HS / @TazSmith_13</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>John Creek HS native displays quick footwork when facing press coverage, which often leads to him getting past the defensive back. He's strong enough to absorb and battle through press coverage. Smith displays quick cuts on short routes that generate open targets for his quarterback thanks to his foot speed. He offers some build-up speed to threaten defenses vertically.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Josh Brown - SS - Peachtree Ridge HS / @josh_brownapt</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown makes some explosive hits running the alley, making sure ball carriers feel him on contact. Quick trigger in the run game, displays a good feel for his run fits and reading blocks in run support. Impressive burst out of his hips as a split field safety, showing good range as a hash to sideline coverage player that can cover ground. Comes out of his breaks with solid change of direction abilities to come downhill. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
