West Meck June 18th 7 on 7 Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='527014' first='Brady' last='Stober'] - QB - Hickory </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The talented 2025 signal caller was on fire all night long, hitting multiple receivers in stride no matter what the coverage was. I was incredibly impressed on a seam route to a slot receiver against Cover 3 that was perfectly placed for a touchdown. Brady also hit multiple slants to receivers in stride where they were able to catch and run for big yardage. And even more impressive, his talented WR [player_tooltip player_id='1070861' first='Jamien' last='Little'] was not in action. This Red Tornado offense was in mid-season form. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='631305' first='Grayson' last='Harvey'] - QB - Mountain Island</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Not to be outdone was [player_tooltip player_id='631305' first='Grayson' last='Harvey'], who looked just as good as the aforementioned Stober. Throwing to a trio of track-fast wide receivers, Harvey ate up man coverage all night long, defeating all the other teams in attendance and tying with Hickory in an absolute shootout that started action that night. Grayson showed beautiful touch and accuracy all over the field and should have more recruiting attention. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1303827' first='Gene' last='Neely'] - DB - Hunter Huss </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Playing primarily at safety, I was impressed at how well Gene was getting off the hash in two-deep coverage. In man and Cover 3 looks, Gene did a good job in covering wide receivers from the slot and just showing very good range in general. I have said Gene deserves some more recruiting attention as well, and his athleticism seems to be improving as we get closer to the start of the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1254427' first='Xavier' last='Porter'] - DB - West Mecklenburg</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Xavier showed to be a lockdown corner, he really impressed me when he was playing against Hickory and a group of talented wide receivers. With his size at 6'4, if he continues to show that he can consistently play sticky man coverage, his stock will rise as a defensive back prospect from a recruiting perspective. The other thing I'd love to see now is to use that frame and pull down some interceptions also. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1303793' first='Justice' last='Washington'] - WR - Mountain Island </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The slot receiver had a huge day with at least four touchdown catches total on the day, continuing to show great synergy with his quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='631305' first='Grayson' last='Harvey']. Defensive Backs simply could not keep up with him from a man coverage perspective, and he did a good job in finding holes in zone coverage and sitting down for multiple completions. Though he is only 5'7, it will be hard for schools to ignore Justice's production this upcoming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
