A few things stick out when you watch the 8th-grader from Columbia, MO: His footwork and ball skills, which are very advanced for his age. Multiple times on film he goes up and high-points the ball or makes a ridiculous catch over a defensive back while coming back for an underthrown ball. He has quick feet, a good burst, and understands tempo, which makes for nasty releases and crisp routes. This is definitely a guy to keep an eye on over the next four years as he attends Rock Bridge High School.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1601032' first='Byron' last='Scott']","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_weight":"130","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Scott is a physical Wide receiver with long arms and good strength.

The speed and quickness of Simmons lead to elite footwork. A guy who is not afraid to go up and make a play on the ball, he stretches the field and challenges the back end of any secondary. The receiver from Wentzville, MO, is a hard worker and will continue to get recognition in Missouri.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["991792"],"_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":"Playing with one of the top young quarterbacks in the state of Missouri, [player_tooltip player_id='991792' first='Skye' last='Vaughn'] has been putting on a show. The 6 foot 2 160-pound wide receiver is the whole package. He has the size, athleticism, and strength to be one of the top Wide Receivers in all of Missouri and beyond. He is great at tracking and attacking the ball, just throw it in his direction and he will come down with it. He is just as dangerous after the catch. This Lengthy receiver is set up for immediate success at the next level, I expect he will make a difference throughout his high school career.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1222940' first='Kingston' last='McPike']","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_weight":"145","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"North Point Middle School","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Another Receiver in the Show Me State, the speed and quickness of McPike make him an exciting player. McPike has been showcasing his talent at camps and 7 on 7 tournaments this offseason. He showcases tons of athleticism on film running away from defenders and making others miss. Kingston has a good size and uses it to climb the ladder to highpoint the ball. He has great body control for his size and age which makes him a very intriguing prospect going forward, keep an eye out for him next fall.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65fc8d6c91a82"} /-->
