Offord is a game changer at receiver, running back, and defensive back, no matter where you line him up he's going to make plays. Offord is a heck of an athlete- at 6'1 185 he has a great build, lots of speed and acceleration, and terrific hands that allow him to consistently catch, intercept, and break up passes at both WR and DB. Offord ended last season recording 46 carries for 310 rushing yards and 8touchdowns, 14 receptions for 208 yards and 2 touchdowns, and 5 picks, 4 pass breakups and a sack on defense. Offord has been highly recruited all over the nation the last few years but recently pledged his commitment to Ohio State! Keep an eye on him and this Parker squad this upcoming season, they're set up for some big things!","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["379573"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='379573' first='KJ' last='Lacey'] has been absolutely lights out as Saraland's quarterback the last two seasons- what he's been able to accomplish alongside star wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='228972' first='Ryan' last='Williams'] has been incredible to watch. Lacey has an extremely talented arm that throws with a lot of touch, accuracy, and anticipation- it doesn't matter where his target is located he'll find a way to get the ball to them regardless of how difficult the throw may be. In addition to his arm talent, Lacey is also incredibly athletic- he can make a lot of throws both inside and outside the pocket, scramble under pressure, and can take hits on the rare occasion he doesn't get the ball out in time. Last fall was an extraordinary season for Lacey- he recorded 219/315 attempts for 3448 yards and 42 touchdowns with only 8 interceptions in the air while also picking up 50 yards and 5 touchdowns on the ground as well. Lacey has been committed to Texas for over a year now, giving them an incredibly talented option in the national 2025 QB class. Keep watch of what he and Saraland are able to do again this season- it'll be exciting no doubt!","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["228973"],"_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='228973' first='Alvin' last='Henderson'] is a running back out of Elba that has consistently been one of the top running back prospects in the 2025 class since he was a freshman. Henderson is explosive in every sense of the word- he has the speed and acceleration to go from 0-100 in mere seconds, lots of elusiveness to make defenders miss, and has the athleticism to outmatch nearly every defender he goes up against. In addition to his explosiveness, Henderson is also a really tough back to bring down- he has terrific contact balance, plays with a lot of physicality, and isn't afraid of taking big hits. Last year Henderson had himself an absolutely ridiculous season where he totaled up 225 carries for an unfathomable 3523 yards and 61 touchdowns on the ground as well as 5 receptions for 124 yards and a score in the air. It's hard to believe those numbers are real but they are- Henderson is truly in a class of his own when it comes to running backs across the nation. He's picked up over 75 offers from programs all over the country- it'll be exciting to see where he ends up and to see how his final season of high school ball goes! It'll without a doubt be a fun one to watch.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["216875"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='216875' first='Zion' last='Grady'] is an unbelievable EDGE prospect out of Charles Henderson that looks like one of the top talents at his position across the whole nation. Grady is a force off the edge- it doesn't matter what opposing offenses do- he will find a way to either impact or stop them. He has a special blend of size, speed, and strength that allows him to consistently set the edge and make plays against the run and pass. Against the run, Grady never allows the ballcarrier to break off big runs to the outside, he does a great job crashing in and forcing plays to the interior- if the ballcarrier does get near him, its almost always going to be at or before the line of scrimmage. Rushing the passer, Grady already has a really unique set of pass rush moves that allow him to almost immediately beat offensive tackles to generate pressure and sacks. Grady had a huge year last fall where he totaled up 106 tackles (35 for loss), 19 sacks, 26 hurries, and three fumble recoveries.  With play like that, it's no wonder why Grady has picked up offers from Alabama, Texas, and tons of top tier programs. He's such an complete prospect already and still has room to grow, keep watch of him this fall to see him dominate his senior season!","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["216863"],"_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_tooltip player_id='216863' first='Anquon' last='Fegans'] is one of the top defensive backs in the entire 2025 class and has made Thompson's secondary one of the best in the state since he was a freshman. Fegans is a high flying free safety that has some terrific athleticism and ball hawking skills. It doesn't matter where Fegans initially starts the play, he has the sideline to sideline skills to locate the ball and make plays all over the field. Against the pass, Fegans provides lockdown coverage in both man and zone and uses his instincts, vision, and hands to frequently bait and pick off opposing quarterbacks. When playing against the run, Fegans does a terrific job bringing support in from the secondary- he's a seriously talented tackler that doesn't shy away from getting involved. Last fall Fegans had himself a terrific season where he totaled up 59 total tackles (2 for loss) 7 interceptions and 11 pass breakups. Keep an eye on Fegans going forward- he's picked up offers from top tier programs like Georgia, Alabama, Clemson, and many more- with his talent the sky's the limit!","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660e309e84a8b"} /-->
