<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Gateway football team lost some of it's recruits from the 2022 class to graduation, including [player_tooltip player_id='249241' first='Dallas' last='Harper'], [player_tooltip player_id='248779' first='Anez' last='Jordan'], [player_tooltip player_id='160549' first='Matthew' last='Brooks'], [player_tooltip player_id='160579' first='Racari' last='El'], [player_tooltip player_id='140965' first='Malachi' last='Moore'], and Leonard Sherrod. However, the team still boasts several D1 prospects on its roster and has recently picked up a promising new recruit. DB [player_tooltip player_id='255046' first='Steven' last='Jenkins'] Jr, from Woodland Hills, who holds 2 FBS offers, has transferred to the team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Gators also have a number of blue-chip prospects who are poised for big seasons in 2023, including QB1 [player_tooltip player_id='64000' first='Brad' last='Birch'], RB [player_tooltip player_id='142787' first='Jaquon' last='Reynolds'], LB [player_tooltip player_id='256146' first='Remy' last='Bose'], and DB [player_tooltip player_id='255086' first='Kenny' last='Lewis IV']. Additionally, players such as [player_tooltip player_id='239060' first='Donovan' last='Biggs'], Ahmad Harris, and [player_tooltip player_id='599458' first='Amari' last='Gans'] are all worth keeping tabs on.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/kennylewis00/status/1627876429177229314?s=46u0026amp;t=Z9HVsIfxlYpUmBtFJHGC4g","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/kennylewis00/status/1627876429177229314?s=46&amp;t=Z9HVsIfxlYpUmBtFJHGC4g </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["255086"],"_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":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eHe's a smooth athlete who's very competitive. Lewis has great technique in press-man coverage and shows good ball skills on both offense and defense. He displays sharp footwork with a low pad level when backpedaling. His bail technique in cover 3 resembles that of a college defensive back. Kenny is a reliable tackler in open space and is quick to break on the ball. He exhibits breakaway speed and balance when returning kickoffs. Lewis currently holds an offer from UNLV and is visiting Rutgers this weekend.u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-644d3665ed96f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Ahmad Harris","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Gateway ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eAhmad is fluid and physical in his movements.

His nose for the ball and football IQ help him read plays swiftly. Harris displayed his ability to defeat blocks in both the interior and outside run game. He's well-suited to be a special teams contributor at the next level.

He has good speed running the ball from the running back position, and it's only going to get better with time. He gives a good effort and is physical in defeating blocks. Gans does a good job of not allowing plays to spill outside of him at OLB. He gives good effort on special teams, going hard until the play is over. Gans is a blank canvas right now that could very well develop into a D1 player with production u0026amp; offseason work. u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":2,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-644d3a725b8f5"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/stevenjenkinsj1/status/1651698740338589757?s=46u0026amp;t=Z9HVsIfxlYpUmBtFJHGC4g","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/stevenjenkinsj1/status/1651698740338589757?s=46&amp;t=Z9HVsIfxlYpUmBtFJHGC4g </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["255046"],"_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":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eu003cspan class=u0022s1u0022u003eJenkins has 2 FBS offers and will now be playing with the Gateway Gators.
