He will easily break the 11 mark as the temps heat up in Spring.rnrnThe 6'2 WR/DB was 2nd Team All Region last season in 5-7A, Georgia's highest classification. Long and lean with room to add good weight. Good vertical route downfield receiver. Uses his speed to out run defenders and his height to out jump them. Makes good adjustments on the ball in flight. Good hand that quickly gets up to top speed after the catch adding positive YAC. Definitely has the size and speed to be a prospect at the next level. Big Senior season on tap.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65d6704a62e1d"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JaVonBroussard2/status/1734412426924245271","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JaVonBroussard2/status/1734412426924245271 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1573168' first='Daniel' last='Okonkwo']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"195","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Hillgrove","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"6'0 195 ATH HillgrovernrnOkonkwo ran a 11.18 in the 100m to finish 4th in the event.rnrnThe 6'0 195 DB has a solid build and does a good job in 1v1 coverage. Solid back peddle and gets his hips around quick.  Does a good job forcing the receiver to the sideline boundary. Good ball awareness with quick hands that leads to PBUs.rnrnHe missed half of last season at Hillgrove with an injury but is back 100% for 2024. Has been hitting the camp circuit early this off season and looks ready to have a successful Senior season on the football field.

He recently added an offer from Navy and is a guaranteed D1 offensive lineman prospect.rnrnThe 6A All State HM threw a 41'7.8 in the shotput in his recent meet giving him a 3rd place finish in the event.rnrnOn the football field he uses his good lower body strength and long reach to keep the defensive lineman at bay. He sets his feet well in pass protection and is an aggressive blocker in run support. He has been working hard in the weight room the last few seasons, transforming his body and getting stronger, recently power cleaned 285. With another good off season, Villarouel could easily find himself on the All State team in 2024. A college program will be getting a guy they can develop into a heck of an OL down the road.rnrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65d6704a62fa6"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Dvilla7_/status/1728934046158426171","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Dvilla7_/status/1728934046158426171 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["681160"],"_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":"6'2 210 LB CarrolltonrnrnGamble is a big time LB prospect in the 2026 class.
