Keith is a true pocket passer who also has the athleticism to work outside the pocket, either looking to throw it down field or tuck it and run. A smooth thrower who shows great zip on his passes, Keith stands strong within the pocket, keeping his eyes down field with the confidence to fit the ball into any window he finds suitable. The Dragons senior passer is fearless behind center as he shows nice poise in the pocket while under pressure and maintaining his cool demeanor looking to make the completion before considering running the ball. u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eKeith doesn't have the ideal size as many other quarterbacks from the 2024 class but he more than makes up for it with his football knowledge, mature approach to the quarterback position and overall playmaking abilities that come both from his right arm and legs. He also has a lot of experience behind his belt with one more year under center for the Dragons, so he will jump into the college ranks with the understanding on how it is to lead the team from the quarterback position. Keith holds several FCS level offers at the moment but he has D1 upside and I think coaches will see those abilities this summer at camps and in the Fall during his senior year. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-645942d2cdad5"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/KeithJoshuah/status/1644117140784439298?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/KeithJoshuah/status/1644117140784439298?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["285359"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eSporting great size with a wide radius and long arms, Green has all the physical traits that collegiate coaches look for in a pass catching tight end and the great thing about this West Tennessee big man is that he is far from a finished product. Green is still developing into his body and game along with understanding what he must do to become the best prospect he can be, so whoever ends up landing this 6 '6 pass catcher will be getting someone with tremendous potential. What stands out first about Green is his size and how much of a mismatch he can be for smaller defenders. This Eagles tight end can engulf smaller defenders, run them over or box them out, bringing in the catch. His size alone is worth the look but his athleticism and ability to stretch the field is what gives him so much upside on the next level. u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eFrom personal knowledge, Green has the ability to work down the field and run after the catch, so the athletic potential is there. Once he gets steam behind him, this West Tennessee pass catcher is tough to bring down as defenders tend to bounce or slide off when going in for the tackle. Tons of abilities are there for Green to become a formidable tight end on the college gridiron and coaches have started to take notice as he has picked several FCS offers thus far with several others interested. Look for Green to continue picking up steam on the recruiting trail as the next few months go by, especially after he performs this summer at camps. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["305915"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eThe Eagles sport one of the best O-lines in the state going into the 2023 season with Gilmer being one the top key cogs on the Brentwood Academy front that sports a bright future as an offensive guard/center prospect on the college level. Big and powerful with a wide upper body, Gilmer is a mauler in the middle that enjoys putting defenders on their backs. Once he gets his big hands latched on, it's over the opposition as Gilmer locks in and drives the defender back and usually into the ground. Looking over his junior film, Gilmer also shows nice lower base bend and the upside to develop his lower half even further, making him a very appealing prospect to handle the center position on the collegiate gridiron.  u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eThis Mid-Tennessee O-lineman is better suited inside where he can use his physicality and football smarts to dominate the interior of the line but he could also fill in at right tackle if needed in a pinch but Gilmer's best upside is definitely inside. He does need to continue working on his overall athleticism and explosion coming off the ball while continuing to add in the needed size. Gilmer shows flashes of explosive play and the ability to get out quickly when trying to pull or get to the second level after snapping but continued work on his lower half will turn this Eagles mauler into a more highly recruited prospect for the D1 level. These offseason months are critical for Gilmer as he tries to develop his game further and work himself into a more hotly pursued recruit that could become a steal for whoever signs him in the end.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":2,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-645942d2cdbae"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/graham_gilmer/status/1651020712709177344?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/graham_gilmer/status/1651020712709177344?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["240022"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eIt may be late in the process before this West Tennessee prospect see's a boost in his recruitment but Bachelor is a hidden gem with tons of potential for the next level but is still far from a finished product. Standing 6'4 and just at 200 pounds, Bachelor is a tall, long and lanky edge rusher that has the physical traits the college coaches look for but he needs to continue packing on the power and weight to maintain himself on the collegiate gridiron. What I like about Bachelor is his natural pass rush abilities and upside to play either with his hand in the dirt or stand up at outside linebacker and work in space. The Lynx edge defender shows a nice get-off along with good bend to get around the tackle and quickly get after the quarterback. He uses his length well to dip under the tackle while maintaining good leverage. Bachelor does need to gain more strength on his lower base to maintain balance against college edge blockers but the frame is there for added growth. u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eRushing the passer is what gets this West Tennessee product on the field quicker inside the college game but learning how to play with range while also dropping in space to help in pass coverage, could increase his recruiting stock further. Bachelor is a long term upside prospect that will need time to gain the needed weight and develop his game much further but the potential is definitely there to turn into a fast edge rusher on the college level.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["372306"],"_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":"u003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eAs we head into the summer camps month, Williams is probably one of the more underrated, non-offered prospects we have from the entire #TN2024 class and a safety prospect with the talents to be recruited by Division One programs. A hard hitter with closing speed, Williams is a violent competitor who loves hitting people and uses his athleticism and speed to play close to the line as much as possible. Once you get into his sights, Williams lays the wood on you then gets back up to find somebody else to hit. This Nashville native is not just a physical hitter but he is also a good athlete that can make plays all over the secondary. Williams shows strong instincts on film finding the ball then creating havoc. If he is not hitting someone and jarring the ball loose, the Firebirds safety is deflecting passes or picking them off. u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eIf you're looking for one reason as to why Williams doesn't hold offers yet, it may be because of his size. This secondary defender stands about 5'9 to 5'10, so he doesn't have the ideal 6'0 and above look that most college safeties poses but this dude can play and his film shows it as he has some of the best safety highlights from the #TN2024 class. Williams also provides nice versatility to the secondary as he could definitely lock down things at strong safety but he could also slide over to free or possibly dominate playing nickelback. I fully expect the Firebirds senior to not only put forth a strong showing during camp season this summer but also continue to establish himself as one of the best safeties in the state during the upcoming Fall football year.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":2,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-645942d2cdc79"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JaquisWilliams9/status/1599579891372290049?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/JaquisWilliams9/status/1599579891372290049?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
