Riddick is explosive as a pass rusher and has an elite first step, terrific hands, speed, strength, and motor that allow him to consistently either generate pressure 0r bring down the quarterback each snap. When he's not rushing the passer, Riddick is equally effective against the run and can make a ton of plays from sideline to sideline as well. Overall, Riddick is a super well rounded EDGE that has been unstoppable throughout his high school career- for instance, he's totaled up 92 tackles (12 for loss) 3 sacks, 1 pick, and 8 pass breakups on the season this fall. Riddick has had an exciting recruiting process this far, decommiting from Georgia to then commit to Auburn earlier this year! Keep an eye on our number 1 player to see what he does at the next level","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["237804"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='237804' first='Cameron' last='Coleman'] is one of the top wide receiver prospects in the nation- he has terrific size, speed, and athleticism that have allowed him to dominate opposing defenses all throughout his time at Central. Coleman is an elite prospect, he can make tons of highlight reel catches with the athleticism he has and he consistently presents a huge mismatch against opposing secondaries on seemingly a weekly basis. Currently, Coleman is in the middle of a dominant postseason run with his team just like he's been all this season. On the year, Coleman has recorded 56 receptions for 1229 yards and 17 touchdowns this season- making a huge impact in every game he's suited up in. Currently, Coleman is committed to Texas A@M but is currently exploring other options- keep an eye on him as his recruitment begins to finalize- he's a heck of an player!","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["422743"],"_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='422743' first='Jordan' last='Ross'] is another highly athletic EDGE prospect that really shows a ton of promise as a prospect to us. Ross has been a really consistent player for Vestavia Hills the last several years but especially showed out this year in his senior season. Ross was extremely disruptive all year long- he recorded 72 total tackles (a ridiculous 23 of which were for loss) 12.5 sacks, 10 hurries, and 6 pass breakups. Ross has a great frame and is able to quickly work his way around offensive tackles in a wide variety of ways- he does a ton of damage going after the quarterback and can really set the edge well against the run, making him an impact player every time he takes the field. Ross was offered by nearly every top program in the nation, but ended up committing to Tennessee in late August. Keep an eye on him as he heads to the next level, they're getting a heck of a player.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["132050"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='132050' first='Jaylen' last='Mbakwe'] is one of the most explosive athletes the state has seen in a very long time, what he has been able to do in his time at Clay Chalkville has been nothing short of spectacular. Throughout a dominant career there Mbakwe was featured in a ton of different roles on every side of the ball- lining up as a running back, wide receiver, defensive back, and quarterback for the first time this season. Mbakwe is one of the fastest players I've ever had the pleasure of watching and he is able to do just about anything you ask of him when you put the ball in his hands. All throughout his career he's made play after play in just about every situation you could think of, making him the fourth best player in our 2024 class. Mbakwe has been committed to Alabama for the last year, and it's going to be really exciting to see what position he ends up at for them.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["360378"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='360378' first='Jeremiah' last='Beaman'] is an absolutely dominant defensive linemen that has been playing on a whole other level this season for Parker's stout defense. Beaman is a game wrecker in every sense of the word- his impact is felt nearly on every snap and if he's not the one making the play he's doing something that is helping open up opportunities for his teammates to make plays. Beaman and the Parker defense have been near impossible to make any plays on this fall- he himself has recorded 56 total tackles (9 for loss) 11 sacks, and one fumble recovery. Beaman has been committed to Alabama for a little bit now and he's going to be a massive addition for their 2024 class- keep an eye on him as he prepares to play this week in the postseason!","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6566cd20184fc"} /-->
