These wideouts will perform well in summer camps and be on a lot of college radars going into their senior season. I expect big things out of this group going forward.

Joey is a shifty WR with quick feet and shows the ability to beat press man off the LOS. He is a do it all WR in my mind. Can line up out wide or in the slot, playmaker across all 3 levels, and shows good play speed. The thing he does best in my mind is tracking the ball, along with good body control to catch the ball in the best position to make the play. Joey is also a great red-zone option as he can make quick cuts to get himself open in tight windows, as well as being a good leaper who can go up and get it in the corner of the endzone. Blake HS had an outstanding season, going undefeated in the regular season while making a deep playoff run and Joey was one of the key contributors for the teams success.
Dathan is a player on both sides of the ball at WR and DB but with his on field speed and ability to make plays, I see him as a WR. A long armed lean framed ATH, Dathan looks the part on the hoof. He has a smooth, long stride that eats up grass. Is a deep ball threat who shows strong hands, and can win the 50/50 ball. Really like his quick burst and acceleration. Not only does he stretch the field vertically but can used in the jet sweep & screen game as well. Dathan is a big play kid who if he gets the ball in space he is threat to house it.
Shaymus is a big time athlete, playing QB/WR/DB for Catoctin while also being a state champ track runner & jumper. He is a self reports 4.5 40 and has a 35″ vertical. With all that athleticism he will be a impact player a slot WR. Quick off the snap and shows his speed on film. Quick feet, with some good wiggle and ability to make guys miss and not get a clean shot on him. Can see him being a nasty route runner as he continues to develop that skill set.
Ethan is a player I can’t wait to see more of as he flashes some high level athleticism and play making ability on film. He is twtichy, with a quick long stride and strong hands. Is fast to the ball and shows great burst/explosiveness out of breaks. You can line him up any where on the field and he can be a playmaker for you. Shows great balls skills and body control as well when going up for a the pass. Ethan is a dynamic playmaker who is also a high academic student with a 3.89 GPA, so he should a prospect on lots colleges boards.
Highlights
DJ is a kid who got on my radar and saw as a sophomore, then he went out and had a huge junior campaign finishing with over 1,00yds on 43 catches with 12 TDs. He’s got a lot of burst and twitch and shows quick feet. Once he accelerates and gets going, it’s hard to stop him. A deep ball threat, he is always behind the defense. DJ is a versatile receiver, can line up in the slot or out wide and take a short pass and turn it into a big gain. A main thing I like about him is how he sees the ball. Tracks it well with the good body placement, always getting himself between the ball and defender, allowing his momentum to keep him going and not be tackled for bigger plays. DJ will put on shows at camps this summer and will be poised for another big year his senior season.
