At the same time, is thick and steady enough to fit it up between the tackles as wellrnrn- Really impressive in-game speed for a 2027 back. Claims a 4.6 in the forty which I can't verify, but as an eighth-grader ran a legit 11.27 in the 100m earlier in May. His ability to run the ball was a big reason the Muscle Shoals Middle School team went 9-0 and won a conference titlernrn- Reynolds will be at Muscle Shoals High School this upcoming fall. The Trojans are 20-4 over the last two seasons and saw 22 athletes earn All-Region honors last season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["813831"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"- First thing that jumps out immediately is his size. Stands just millimeters shy of 6-foot-4 and 195 pounds (verified) with incredible length. He's a little lean right now, but his frame can easily carry 30-40 more pounds during high schoolrnrn- While I think his future is as a traditional Defensive End, Stockard also flashed during his eighth-grade season as a tight end/wide receiver combo for the Mathews Dickey Express out of Missourirnrn- Spent majority of season as a Defensive End in a 4-3 scheme with both End's standing up, but can occasionally put his hand in the dirt and find success. The more he does the latter, the better off I think he'll be moving forward","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["813880"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"- Another Missouri prospect with some legitimate size on him at just about 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds, as the 2027 prospect is getting ready to enter high school in the fallrnrn- Tireless worker in the weight room with the numbers to back it up. Already deadlifting 400+ pounds for multiple reps and sets, in addition to impressive combine numbers headlined by a 97u0022 broad jumprnrn- Honey will be at Lindbergh High School this fall. Fully admitting I don't know what the full scope of what the Flyers bring back across the defensive front, I could see him being a nice young varsity piece opposite All-District Defensive End Tyler Westrich, who led the team in sacks a year ago with seven","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["814079"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"- Has average size right now at 5-foot-8 and 140 pounds but was clocked at a laser 4.7 in the forty at a Rivals camp earlier this spring. He is one of the fastest 2027 prospects I've seen in the state of Colorado up to this pointrnrn- The father of a U.S. Army veteran who shares the namesake, Releford Jr. is a no nonsense type of kid who operates best in space. If he can get to the edge, he has the wheels to outrun a lot of other athletes in The Box State right nowrnrn- Will be at Fountain-Fort Carson High School in the fall. The Trojans finished 8-4 a year ago and were ranked the No.13 team in the state behind a high-powered offense. Releford Jr. will have the benefit of sitting behind Mathias Price.

Can play wide receiver at a high level too, including being lined up in the slot where he uses good speed and quickness up the seemrnrn- Will be off to Anderson High School in the fall to start his high school career, but has already started on the recruiting trail.
