<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There is a lot of talent in West Virginia that has been overlooked. There are some players that we have discovered that are doing well. This state is known to have a few guys with speed. Let's check it put.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Brayden Thompson</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thompson is a big guy that stands 6-foot-8, 315 pounds. He has 9.75 inch hands a 88 inch wingspan. He is a guy to know. Thompson will be a division one tackle one day. He is a 2025 guy out of Oconomowoc High School. This young man is a dude to know. His stock is going to definitely rise when coaches realize the talent he has. Thompson is a big guy that can move. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='894934' first='Brody' last='Bowen']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bowen is a running back that we like. Bowen has some good speed and is going to get faster. He has been clocked at a 4.61 in the 40-yard dash. This was on a laser. Bowen also has good strength. He knows how to rock steady between the tackles. He is not the guy that is going to get brought down with one arm.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='866502' first='Tyrique' last='Powell']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Powell is a talented running back out of Frankfort High School. He is a 5-foot-11, 200-pound guy that has a great chance to be a back on the next level. He has incredible balance between the tackles. I love the way he is able to get yards after contact. This young man is not the easiest guy to bring down on the field. He also has very decent speed. Powell is a guy to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='872712' first='Solomon' last='Ferrell']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ferrell is a talented cornerback. I love how he makes sure he stays on top of the receiver when they are running a route. Ferrell is a guy that loves to attack the ball when it is in the air. He is very aggressive when it comes to breaking up passes. Ferrell is a guy that I think is going to be a safety on the next level. He reads the field very well. His arms are long and he does a great job of being in control when it is time to break up a pass. He is a guy to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
