[player_tooltip player_id='1125417' first='William' last='Ray'] Lee's Summit North - 6'0" 207 Testing results: 4.75 40 - 4.25 pro agility - 9'9" broad jump - 30" vertical jump A talented receiver who saw some quality varsity minutes in 2023. William has good size and athleticism he showed us at the combine. He tested well, with his speed and power, along with his route running, ability to get separation, and make difficult grabs. He uses his size well, can go up and catch the ball at it's highest point over defenders, has the speed to get behind them as well.   [player_tooltip player_id='1125445' first='Sky' last='Owens'] Timberland - 5'10" 160 Testing results: 4.63 40 - 4.25 pro agility -9'10" broad jump - 31" vertical jump One of the more athletic sophomore regardless of position. Sky is a speedy and talented athlete. He has good power in his jumping ability, and uses his speed and quickness to change direction and elude defensive backs in one on ones. Owens showed good concentration and is a nice deep target, but also has no fear going across the middle. Look for a breakout year for him if the QB situation is solid at his high school.   [player_tooltip player_id='1130121' first='Alex' last='Wood'] Helias - 6'4" 220 Testing results: 4.99 40 - 4.47 pro agility - 8'6" broad jump - 26" vertical jump Alex came in after I have watched him the past couple of years and saw his size and athletic ability he displayed in mostly JV play. He did not disappoint coming in and working out at tight end at the combine. He has impressive size, good overall athleticism, can really run and showed good hands. He's a big target and did a good job getting open. He's still raw but you can see the flashes of what can be and the upside he has. Wood also plays DE and could be a valuable asset on defense as well. He's an intriguing prospect to watch for in 2024.   [player_tooltip player_id='1240412' first='Oliver' last='Niemeyer'] Bowling Green - 6'3" 197 Testing results: 5.09 40 - 4.66 pro agility - 8'5" broad jump - 26" vertical jump Niemeyer is another tight end/receiver prospect who had a nice combine and deserves mention. He has a good frame and can add weight and play TE or has the ability to be a big receiver. He's physical and plays hard. Has shown the ability to block well in games, and showed solid hands and looked good in one on ones and drills on the day. His school has produced some solid college prospects the past few years, and Oliver is another potential one to watch.
