He is an exceptional route runner, he gets in and out of his breaks quickly and he excels at yards after the catch. Brown has the speed that can turn a short pass into a big play. He had a big night in a 37-34 win over Forney. Kohen hauled in 6 catches for 247 yards and 3 touchdowns. He picked up an offer from UCF recently. Brown heads down to Austin for a gameday visit to Texas this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1428230"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e59e3c783ca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gibson is the hottest receiver in the state through the first three weeks of the season. He is a big play machine with the football in his hands. In a 49-28 win over Denton Guyer, Gibson had 253 yards and 4 touchdowns. Three weeks into the season he has 11 total touchdowns. Get the ball in his hands and Gibson will make defenses pay. He has picked offers from SFA, Nevada and Texas State. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jakc</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1450654"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e59e3c7842a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jackson is an electric player with the football in his hands. He is phonebooth quick, he is shifty in space and he has the explosiveness to separate from defenders at the second level. Jackson had a monster game against Midlothian, hauling in 12 passes for 259 and 4 touchdowns. Camrin should continue to get more touches and opportunities to make big plays as the Knights head into district play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1167186"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e59e3c78483"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Long II is quietly putting up impressive numbers through the first three games of the season. He is a savvy route runner, he understands how to get open and he has strong reliable hands that enable him to attack the ball at the catch point aggressively. Against Ennis, Long II had 7 receptions for 228 yards and a touchdown. His ability to get open and make big plays makes him a top target in the Centennial offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1271091"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e59e3c784e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">White is a big target at 6-foot-2, who has the speed to stretch the field and his crisp route running allows him to get open. He had a big game against a very good North Crowley secondary on Friday night. White had 145 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns. He is a big play threat in the Guyer offense and he should continue to get more targets as the Wildcats head into district play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
