A track star as well for the Springers, Parker can play at all three levels on their defense whether it be on the line, linebackers or their secondary. He has the speed that no one on offense should be able to get the edge on him and he is very physical at the point of attack.

A spry/rangy corner who you will see line up at numerous spots on defense for the Warriors. Tremendous ball skills and a keen ability to deliver the big hit, Simms ascension is just beginning. Plays the game with a high motor, I would expect his name to highly sought after before his junior year begins. The qualities he has shown on film clearly show he can play at the next level.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19639924/65533b38f31c620a08322378u0022u003e[player_tooltip player_id='1297643' first='Aladin' last='Simms'] HUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["402755"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='402755' first='Braylon' last='Hood'] will be FBS level linebacker two years from now, already obtaining offers from Marshall, East Carolina and Appalachian State just to name a few.

A 3.9 student the young man plays with both passion and intelligence, you can see it on every screen he sniffs out from the other side of the field.

Ranking as one of our top quarterbacks in this class, Yeanay followed that up with a monster sophomore campaign. Throwing for 17 touchdowns and only 3 interceptions, it is not surprising he earned his first offer last month from Chowan University. Here is what I said about him when the 2026 rankings came out last year:rnrnu003cemu003eYeanay is a slippery tough kid at quarterback for Hermitage, but I was very impressed with his accuracy as well. Watching him maneuver on the run reminds of Russell Wilson (the Seattle version) the way he can scramble and throw on a dime should have the Panthers excited to watch him the next three seasons.u003c/emu003ernrnu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18060450/654af91202b1f412b8c7c1f3u0022u003e[player_tooltip player_id='853971' first='Benjamin' last='Yeanay'] HUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":"","_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":"","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6601d8b37a54e"} /-->
