In addition to outstanding execution off the snap, what stands out the most about Kirkwood's playstyle is his ability to overwhelm the defense down the stretch and create considerable seperation at the goal line as well as in the endzone. I also like Kirkwood's ability to attack the ball in the air.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2Mnnm4u0022u003eTape:u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65aeda1f50d71"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["846636"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"I am additionally impressed with [player_tooltip player_id='846636' first='Josh' last='Campbell'], a wide receiver at Paducah Tilghman High School. What makes Campbell so explosive is his ability to pick up speed in the backfield as well as his consistent effort in hauling in the deep pass. I also like how Campbell can outmaneuver the defense in third-down scenarios and utilize space from along the edge to be wide open for touchdown passes.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/video/3/16282590/6564adb9a681b113647f0196u0022u003eTape:u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65aeda1f50ddd"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401686"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Claiming the number three spot on my list is [player_tooltip player_id='401686' first='Aidan' last='Burke'], a wide receiver at Belfry High School. Burke stands out with his electric speed off the snap as well as his versatile edge in the pocket and along the edge. I also like how Burke can pick up speed at will and shake contact in the pocket. Burke's catching ability also impresses, proving he can be in prime scoring position in the backfield.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17399074/651583166e817909504f34bdu0022u003eTape:u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65aeda1f50e2f"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401694"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Another skilled prospect to watch for is [player_tooltip player_id='401694' first='Colin' last='Jefferson'], a wide receiver at Louisville Male High School. What impresses me the most about Jefferson is his size and durability on the run, showcasing his ability to create solid seperation and use his physicality to shake the defense. I also like Jefferson's positioning in the endzone, using his quickness to get in front of the pass and put his team on the scoreboard.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2MbpU3u0022u003eTape:u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65aeda1f50e7c"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["871926"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Coming in at number five on my list is [player_tooltip player_id='871926' first='Nicholas' last='Ranson'], a wide receiver at Scott County High School. In addition to electric speed and physicality on the ground, what stands out about Ranson is his ability to operate both in the pocket and along the edge, proving he can quickly execute and create solid seperation on his way to the house. I also like how Ranson can use his core strength to break tackles.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2Lneweu0022u003eTape:u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65aeda1f50ec6"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1049425"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Also worth mentioning is [player_tooltip player_id='1049425' first='Gray' last='Schmittel'], a wide receiver at North Oldham High School. Schmittel makes a difference with his ability to create seperation in the backfield and consistently remain open for the deep pass. I also like Schmittel's ability to pick up speed to quickly jump in front of the ball under pressure, showcasing his ability to push the offense into enemy territory off the short pass.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2MXbaQu0022u003eTape:u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65aeda1f50f0f"} /-->
