He is a twitchy route runner with strong hands and solid downfield speed with elite tracking abilities over the top. He is very quick in and out of his breaks, getting in defenders blind spots before breaking and shows good foot speed underneath and downfield. He can run a wide variety of routes and shows good hands when getting off press coverage and understands how to settle and beat zone coverage while quickly knifing upfield after the catch and is tough to bring down in the open field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17488243/Hudson-Lewis"><em><strong>Freshman Year Tape</strong></em></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401583"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64b16a946af49"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Byrd has a huge frame at 6'4" and could end up developing into a next level tight end as he continues to pack on more weight and ass to his frame. Playing on the outside during his first prep season, he shows a huge catch radius and is a mismatch against smaller corners, knowing how to use his body to box out defenders and is very strong at the POA. He shows that he can go up and get 50/50 balls and be a true red-zone target with body control when in the air and well timed high points. As he continues on through his final three seasons for one of the top teams in the state, he offers nice position versatility and should continue to develop into a next level kid. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16840551/Drew-Byrd"><strong>Freshman Year Tape </strong></a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["353794"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64b16a946b084"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Weaver is a long and rangy strider with strong hands and is a true vertical threat due to his long speed, catch radius and willingness to run underneath the deep ball. He shows that he can make contested catches in the end zone and uses his length and size against smaller defenders. He shows solid downfield speed and has success both over the top and when catching the ball across the middle and is tough to bring down due to his strong running abilities and contact balance in the open field after the catch. A true mismatch nightmare on the outside, he will be a big time outside weapon for the Mavericks for the next three years and find a home at the collegiate level by the time it's all said and done. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18048074/tyler-weaver">Freshman Year Tape</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Other WL New additions...</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401584"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64b16a946b0d0"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401580"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64b16a946afa3"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401579"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64b16a946b011"} /-->
