He is a big time target whose stride and length will make him a difficult matchup for years to come. Love the way he tracks down the football at receiver, he is capable of having over 40 receptions heading into his sophomore season. A crisp route runner he knows where he is at all times and by the way he moves, his goal each time is to get to the endzone.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["853884"],"_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":"A big body target who can run every route in your receiver tree, Johnson is another reason why opponents have fear of play the Saint Michael The Archangel Warriors for years to come. The Warriors use Johnson in different roles offensively as he is already 6'2 and has potentially game changing speed. Each time he touches the football I see a little bit of Deebo Samuel in him. From making catches over the middle to taking handoffs on Jet Sweeps, Johnson looks more and more like Samuel.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["853917"],"_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":"Pryor is going to be an excellent slot receiver for the King George Foxes but he may make a bigger impact earlier on special teams and defense. Let's start with his work at receiver, he should be one of the faster kids in the region already and knows how to go up and get any 50/50 ball. What I enjoy about his game most is impact already on special teams, whether its flying down on kickoff or the gunner for the punt team, Pryor makes plays. You better not error on him defensively at his safety position, the kid will knock you down if you aren't.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["402781"],"_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":"Chances are by this time next year Simmers will be higher on our recruiting board, at 6'3 with wheels do not be surprised. Simmers has transferred to Saint Michaels The Archangel where he will get many chances to catch passes from Nashon Wilson, who is one of the best quarterbacks in all of the 2025 class. The rising sophomore can move and will be a big time target for the Warriors. He also boast a 3.7 GPA, expect FCS and FBS schools to show interest in him very soon.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["853851"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='853851' first='Mason' last='Aller'] is already a tough inside linebacker for Lightridge, where I think he will play at the next level is at Tight End. Aller has exceptional hands, making several acrobatic catches this past season. He will be a reliable big time target for the next three years and you will not see him error on his blocking assignments either. The Bolts have themselves a playmaker for this upcoming fall, Aller will be their next star.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["853853"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"What is fun to watch about Jones each play is how he makes himself the quarterbacks best friend. Meaning if his qb is under duress he is a master of finding a whole in the defense and making a catch. Taysean Jones can play in the slot and has enough speed to create separation from the opposing defensive backs. As he develops into his building I expect him to become a matchup nightmare at tight end, he has the frame and footwork to do so.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6499ab09bb2ec"} /-->
