Stock Up Performers: Week 3 Offense

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With another week of high school football action in the books, it's time to look back at some of the most impressive standouts on both sides of the ball in the state of Kentucky that made their presence both known and felt on the field in week three of play. Today, we will be continuing my "Stock Up Performers" series as we break down another group of talented players on the offensive side of the ball. Without any further ado, here's my list of the top offensive standouts from week three of competition that are worth keeping an eye on as the season progresses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["378831"],"_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-64f63504e7334"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At the top of my list of notable standouts is [player_tooltip player_id='378831' first='Kade' last='Goodin'], a 6-foot-2, 170-pound quarterback at Collins High School. Goodin has made a significant impact at the helm of the Titans' offense so far this season, throwing 38 completions out of 65 attempts for 535 yards and six touchdowns. Goodin has additionally picked up 55 rush attempts for 375 yards and six scores. What makes Goodin such a playmaker is his well-balanced footwork, quickness off the snap and arsenal of ways to advance offensive production and get into the endzone.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='996971' first='Cameron' last='Hollaway']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"St. Xavier","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64f6565177a43"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I am additionally impressed with [player_tooltip player_id='996971' first='Cameron' last='Hollaway'], a 5-foot-11, 150-pound wide receiver at St. Xavier High School. Hollaway has been a crucial component to the Tigers' offense this season, hauling in a total of 10 receptions for 152 yards and four touchdowns. What impresses me about Hollaway is his presence in the backfield and ability to haul in deep shots down the stretch despite commanding contact from the defense. Another aspect of Hollaway that made an impact was his footwork and ability to advance offensive production on quick passes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["210354"],"_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-64f6565177b1a"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Claiming the number three spot on my list is [player_tooltip player_id='401720' first='Maddox' last='O'Neal'], a 6-foot-1, 150-pound quarterback at McCracken County High School. O'Neal has been highly explosive under center for the Mustangs this season, throwing 45 completions out of 75 attempts for 547 yards and six touchdowns. O'Neal has additionally picked up six rush attempts for 22 yards and one score. What makes O'Neal so impactful is his quickness off the snap and precision in the air. With impressive arm strength, accuracy and the ability to hit his receivers in stride, O'Neal is certainly worth watching in week four and beyond.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["418723"],"_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-64f6565177bd0"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another high-level player to watch out for is Trae Berry, a 6-foot-3, 185-pound wide receiver at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School. Berry has been an efficient offensive weapon for the Bulldogs in three contests, hauling in 24 receptions for 400 yards and three touchdowns. What makes Berry such a strong receiver weapon is his footwork, breakaway speed and reliability in third-down scenarios. I'm also fond of Berry's physical edge and ability to maintain control under heavy defensive pressure, stunning defensive backs with his athleticism and toughness along the edge and in the backfield.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Joaquin Pereira","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Lexington Catholic","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64f6565177c8d"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coming in at number five on my list is Joaquin Pereira, a 6-foot-0, 170-pound athlete at Lexington Catholic High School. Pereira has been highly impactful for the Knights on the ground this season, collecting 24 rush attempts for a grand total of 168 yards and three touchdowns. In addition to outstanding size and speed, what makes Pereira so dangerous is his ability to bowl over the defense with his physical edge and speed off the snap, proving his reliability and efficient movement in the pocket. I am also fond of how Pereira utilizes his footwork to maneuver the field and maintain control under pressure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
