Bliss took numerous direct snaps as a QB, rushing for over 12 yards per carry and showcasing excellent patience and north/south ability as a runner. He did a fantastic job of riding blocks from his HBs and TEs, squeezing the line of scrimmage until he was able to find the grass to scamper. He is a forward leaning runner, bouncing off tackles well for a smaller guy and building tons of vertical momentum which allows him to quickly reach his peak acceleration. In some cases, Bliss split out wide and ran outbreaking routes while looking natural as a pass catcher. On the year, he has plenty of production as a rusher, receiver, and as a returner. He is a true senior sleeper with scheme versatility and is worthy of looks from smaller schools as we approach signing day.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Sam Streicher","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Pickens ","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Streicher is a smooth operator from the QB spot that has played a lot of football over the last four years. His performance this past week against White County was one of, if not the most prolific performance of his career. Steicher went well over 400 total yards, including 344 in the air and 81 on the ground. He also found the endzone 5 times on the night. It's clear Streicher has played a lot of football as he throws with excellent timing and precision to his receivers. He does a good job of lining up his body to his intended target and throws a smooth, catchable ball to his wideouts. Even as a smaller QB, he has noticeable arm talent, generating enough arm strength with just the flick of his wrist to fire the ball outside the hashes and layer it over the safeties. He is a pretty good athlete, but a lot of his production as a runner can be credited to his patience and discipline with the ball in his hands. Streicher is an athletic ball distributor that made several different college-level throws this past weekend. He is yet another senior who is steadily creeping onto the radar and is worthy of some small school attention.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Milleon Mckinzie","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"South Gwinnett","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Mckinzie had himself a productive game as a tackler in a win over a good Newton team. Mckinzie is a super athletic LB prospect with good measurables at 6'2 200 and has plenty room to grow. Mckinzie seems to dissect plays nicely from a standup LB spot, keeping his eyes up, staying squared to the football, and mirroring the back. He does a good job of shuffling to close space and distance himself from blockers. When he engages tackles, his length offers a wide tackling radius and allows him to engulf the ball carrier. Mckinzie can threaten the interior of the line of scrimmage as well, quickly clicking and engaging blockers in the gap, often meeting them before they have time to completely set themselves. He will get stronger at the point of attack when battling with blockers, but the momentum he generates downhill packs a solid punch up the middle and can create penetration in the gaps. Mckinzie is a good athlete that covers space nicely, but he doesn't play himself out of plays. He remains disciplined and can hold his own both between and outside the tackles. Once he starts to peak physically, he could end up being a steal for a smaller school down the road.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1561361' first='Kevin' last='Maven-Winchester']","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"5'6u0022","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"Norcross","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_3_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_3_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Maven-Winchester was a workhorse for Norcross in their win over Peachtree Ridge, taking 34 carries for a season best 234 yards and 2 TDs. Maven-Winchester comes in at 5'6 170, and his shorter size seems to actually work in his favor. He is a well-built, low center of gravity runner that fires his feet and generates plenty of explosion in the short areas. His compact build also allows him to absorb contact nicely and roll off would be tacklers. He got plenty of push from his OL all night, but he still did his job very well, squeezing his blocks and playing squared. Once he takes the handoff, his eyes are up and shoulders are squared which allows him to pinpoint running lanes and quickly change his direction if needed. He is more of a north/south runner who has decent burst once he hits the hole, but he does have the athleticism and finesse in his lower body to dance around defenders if needed. Maven-Winchester has generated explosive runs all year and finally broke out this past weekend. His outing is the definition of a u0022stock upu0022 performance and he might've played his way up on recruiting boards as a result.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["339693"],"_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":"Habersham Central threw for 170 yards in their 42-15 win over Apalachee this past week. [player_tooltip player_id='339693' first='Zeke' last='Whittington'] reeled in 158 of those yards. Whittington is a prospect that has been on our radar for a few years now as he has produced on varsity since he was a freshman. This year, however, is his most explosive season, totaling nearly 14 yards per catch so far. Whittington's big play ability was on full display when you dive into the tape. He is an inside-out threat at receiver, but his future might be in the slot (5'10 170) where he can explode down the seam and win 1 v 1's in the air. Whittington is a smooth runner off the line that quickly gets up on DBs. From there, he has the shimmy in his shoulders and fluidity in his hips to make the subtle moves that create leverage and leave DBs reeling. He flashes outstanding leaping ability which makes his catch radius large for a smaller receiver. He shows excellent focus when the ball is in the air, watching the ball into his hands and shields the catch pocket from DBs trying to jar the ball loose at the catch point. There is plenty D1 upside here from Whittington and his play continues to back up. He remains someone to watch over the offseason and throughout his senior season.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6543d22676a20"} /-->
