Corey has quick, whiplike release, he has excellent field vision and he has the arm strength to thread the needle into tight passing windows. Dailey's ability to push the football outside the numbers shows off his arm strength and he has great touch on his deep ball with skill set to hit his targets in stride consistently. In his first season under center for Seguin, he torched defense for 1,916 yards  passing with 28 touchdowns and he was selected as Newcomer of The Year in 12-5A Division I. Corey has the makeup of a top level signal caller and he will be a quarterback in the Class of 2026 to keep a close eye on for the next three years down in Seguin. Dailey picked up his first offer from UTRGV in May.u003cbru003eu003cbru003e[embed]https://twitter.com/Dailey4Corey/status/1661502200277786624?s=20[/embed]u003cbru003eu003cbru003e[embed]https://twitter.com/Dailey4Corey/status/1670782384789135360?s=20[/embed]u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu0026nbsp;u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["889223"],"_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":"Fountain has excellent ball skills, he uses his extended length to play the passing lanes aggressively and he has the skill set that college programs seek out at the defensive back position. Kelon plays cornerback and shows off his versatility playing on the back end at safety, he comes down to cover wideouts in the slot and he runs the alleys like his hair is on fire filling the gaps and displaying superb open field tackling. Fountain uses great leverage, he keeps his shoulders square to the ball carrier and he lays the lumber on impact. Kelon got active on the gridiron in 2022 posting 43 tackles with 8 PBUs. Fountain has been rolling this summer, hitting up multiple camps, he had a great 7v7 season and he looks to continue to raise his profile on the recruiting trail. Kelon picked a recent offer recently from Lane College. Look for Fountain to keep the pressure on offenses as he heads into the 2023 season.u003cbru003eu003cbru003e[embed]https://twitter.com/_KelonFountain/status/1605692061319036930?s=20[/embed]u003cbru003eu003cbru003e[embed]https://twitter.com/_KelonFountain/status/1656431143724490753?s=20[/embed]","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["889233"],"_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":"Brazzle is a versatile athlete who has the skill set to play on both sides of the football. In 2022 at Weiss, Brazzle primarily lined up at cornerback and was a dangerous kick returner. Jaylen is aggressive at the point of attack at the line of scrimmage, he has violent hands that he uses to reroute receivers and he has excellent ball skills, attacking the football when it is thrown his way. Brazzle gets into his backpedal smoothly, he has oily hips that enables him to stay in phase with wideouts at the hip and he breaks on the ball quickly to shut down passing lanes. Jaylen will get snaps on offense lining up at receiver and put on a show during the SQT 7v7 games with Weiss, as well as the select 7v7 season. He is phonebooth quick, he has excellent short area quickness that enables him to create space early in his routes, Brazzle excels at yards after the catch and he is an explosive leaper who can climb the ladder, extend and win on the 50/50 contested grabs. Get Brazzle the ball and watch him work, his elite cut back ability combined with the speed to switch gears quickly, makes him a threat to put points up from anywhere on the field.  Jaylen has the juice that will make him a steal for a college program looking to add a playmaker.rnrn[embed]https://twitter.com/Jaylen_Brazzle/status/1672774957221179392?s=20[/embed]rnrn[embed]https://twitter.com/Jaylen_Brazzle/status/1647785932861349888?s=20[/embed]rnrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":3,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-649fd0884a6aa"} /-->
