Last Chance Series: 2024s To Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>With the Texas UIL State Games completed, the 2023 Football Season has officially come to an end. This is the Last Chance to showcase Class of 2024 Seniors that have the ability to complete at the next level! College Coaches need to pay attention to the following athletes, as they are still Under The Radar in the Recruiting World. Here are some skill position players that have the ability to play at the next level.</strong><br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jadin Hambrick - 6'7” WR - Tyler Legacy High School - Tyler, TX</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jadin Hambrick is a wide receiver from the East Texas/Tyler area. His lengthy frame is ideal for the next level. He provides a huge target for his quarterback, and has shown the ability to get up over defenders, high points the football and catches the ball with his hands. Jadin shows his ability to track a ball in the air and adjust to the football. He has some offers right now, but believe that he could still be a bit under the radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Twitter: </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/Jhambrick_6" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>@Jhambrick_6</strong></a><strong> </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Anthony Portonova - 6'2” DB/WR - Porter High School - Porter, TX</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Anthony Portonova plays both sides of the ball for Porter High School in the Houston metro area. As a defender, he plays with extremely high effort. Anthony is quick to the football and plays with physicality. On the back side of a play he is seen relentlessly pursuing the football at all times, and tracks down defenders with his speed. On the offensive side, he is a reliable option for his QB. Sure hands, runs above average routes. Has a few D3/NAIA offers but has not committed yet. Definitely worth taking a look at. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Twitter: </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/anthonyport2024" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>@anthonyport2024</strong></a><strong> </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16343028/6529a2037bd31704e03e4cb2' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65809f26cc791"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>David Vallejo Jr. - 6'2” WR - Lake Ridge High School - Mansfield, TX</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>David Vallejo Jr. aka “Prince” is a wide receiver from Mansfield, TX in the DFT metro area.

At 6'6”, Lyman provides a massive target for his QB. He also is not afraid to get down and dirty in the trenches. Blocks the run with very high effort. This makes him a big threat on play action passes. Lyman catches the ball with his hands, and shows ability to get up and high point the football. The upside for this young man is there.
