He does a little bit of everything for the Falcons offense last season and is poised to be one of the next big stars in the Mountain 7 region. Displaying exceptional hands and good route running, Woods should be their number 1 target going into his sophomore season. Standing at 6'6 and 260 lbs. he certainly could be playing Power five football at the next level, boasting a 4.0 GPA will certainly help his cause.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["402774"],"_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":"Another tight end at 6'6 poised for a monster sophomore campaign is Riverbend's [player_tooltip player_id='402774' first='Keegan' last='Parker']. Parker is very raw but you can see the potential on tape the way he goes up for the football. The Bears rising sophomore tight end is coming into his frame at 225 and should be a good option for them offensively this fall. The potential for this dude to be playing at a major institution in three years is certainly their, with a great fall campaign, expect his name to start gaining traction.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["853094"],"_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='853094' first='Hugh' last='Stone'] checks in at number 3,  he is a very versatile tight end who you can line up on the line of scrimmage or off the ball and he will make plays. Trinity Episcopal has a big time option this fall as Stone knows how to use his size and length to his advantage. A very good route runner already, Stone is a physical force and packs a good pop each time he lower his should pads.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["853104"],"_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":"A big lumbering tight end who has some moves too, Phelps is set for a big season this fall for the Cosby Titans. Phelps has a long reach and good hands which makes him a matchup nightmare both offensively and defensively at his end position. The kid seems to always be around the football and really seems like a student of the game. The intrigue and upside are certainly there, standing at 6'3 with tremendous leg strength you can understand why.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["853792"],"_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":"A varsity member as a freshman for what should be an up and coming Broad Run squad looking to do some damage in the Dulles District. Schwenke has all-region potential written all over him and not just at tight end. This past year whether it was at tight end, running back or linebacker this kid was a standout for the Spartans. Schwenke is 6'1 170 lbs. and is still growing into his body as his sophomore season emerges. Whether he is at tight end, fullback or outside linebacker I expect to hear his name called a lot in 2023.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-648b7abca2b1d"} /-->
