<!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hammering away at more 2026 Virginia prospects, I wanted to talk about some of the multi-positions playmakers below:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["853091"],"_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":"Westmoreland's [player_tooltip player_id='853091' first='Jaylen' last='Burrell'] is a force at both wide receiver and safety, coming off a very impressive freshman campaign.  As a receiver he is a big target with good hands to assure any quarterback he will not drop a pass. His future may be on defensive the way he tackles and covers, reminds me of a young Sean Taylor out their. Going into his sophomore season Burrell has already clocked a 4.6 40, expect his name to be on many FCS and FBS coaches radar after the fall.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["853095"],"_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":"Whether it be at receiver, corner or even quarterback the Gar-Field Redwolves may have a star in [player_tooltip player_id='853095' first='Troy' last='Hamlin']. The rising sophomore has a good long stride and can create separation on every reception, he is that explosive. Very impressed with the way he moves around on offense, always a security blanket for his quarterback, he is a master at finding a hole in your defense.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["853100"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='853100' first='Hunter' last='Collins Jr.'] does not loose a 1 on 1 matchup at his receiver spot, no matter the situation. Constantly watching his tape you see the top notch speed he possesses and strength he shows coming off the line of scrimmage. He is rarely ever jammed at the line by the opposing defensive back, and will go up against anyone in the conference. He does not let anyone behind him at his safety position either, the kid will have an impact for the Commodores you can believe that.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["853105"],"_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":"Another playmaker for Riverbend is [player_tooltip player_id='853105' first='Mekhi' last='Davis'] and his name is starting to attract the attention of many major local institutions. Davis is another crafty receiver who plays the position like he is a veteran and he is always around the football defensively. Standing at 5'9 and and 160 lbs. Davis can add 10/15 pounds of muscle and many more FBS schools will be calling his way.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["853106"],"_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":"Perez saw significant time on varsity last year as a freshman for the Midlothian Trojans, he put up very impressive numbers. He hauled in 28 receptions to go along with 3 touchdowns as one of their leading receivers in 2022. The rising sophomore should be in for a bigger year this fall as he also picked off 3 passes last year and 2 of them he took to the house. I can see why people love him as a wideout but my money is that he will be playing defensive back at the next level. He is a physical corner who will not lose a 1 on 1 matchup, despite the efforts of so many to get by him. Expect a big campaign from [player_tooltip player_id='853106' first='Ruben' last='Perez'] for 2023, one that should lead to attention from all the schools across the state.rnrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-649c3a076c637"} /-->
