He finished with 3 TD, 1 INT, and 6 total tackles with 2 for loss.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"18px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:18px"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='404260' first='Jamar' last='Taylor Jr']<a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/jamar-taylor-jr/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a>&nbsp;<a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/jamar-taylor-jr/"><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a>&nbsp;| Class of 2024 | @JamarTaylorJr1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"18px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:18px"><strong><em>6'2, 190</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Recorded the longest TD catch of the day when he broke along the sideline after catching a screen pass. Taylor is one of the most interesting wide receiver products in the class of 2024. Has all the tools to excel at the college level and will surely turn things up a notch this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"18px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:18px"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='829457' first='Dathan' last='Glover']<a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/dathan-glover/"><strong></strong><strong></strong></a><a></a>&nbsp;| WR/DB | @DathanG3_</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"18px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:18px"><strong><em>5'10, 160</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Glover is primed for a breakout season for the Santa Fe Hawks as he looks to have a huge impact on both sides of the ball. He finished the spring game with 120+ yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT, and 1 FR. That's simply production from Glover who can be one of the more coveted ATH prospects in Polk County with more in-game reps and weight added to his frame. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hudl: Hudl:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hudl.com/v/2Jn90s">https://www.hudl.com/v/2Jn90s</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"18px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:18px"><strong>Traveon Hymes | RB | Class of 2026 | Bartow | @TraveonHymes</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rushing touchdown to help bring Bartow back down 14</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"18px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:18px"><strong>Tavares Murray Jr | DB | Class of 2025 | Bartow | @Oneway_T3</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"18px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:18px"><strong>Antonio Gaffney | LB | Class of 2024 | Kathleen | @prolly_tonio</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"18px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:18px"><strong>Joshua Porter | WR | Class of 2024 | @PorterJoshuaWR2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"18px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:18px"><strong><em>6'0, 171</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stamp this right now. Joshua Porter is one of the top wide receiver products in the state of Florida. He scored a TD last night to show everyone that the hype he's gained during 7v7 can transition with the pads on.
