He is a hybrid outside linebacker/defensive end and with his range and skill set I can see why. King gets his hands on everything thrown his way and already has 1 interception thru three games. Excellent speed and good size, I would expect him to get some division 2 looks very soon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/KingCanyon25/status/1836063392794124308","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/KingCanyon25/status/1836063392794124308 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1206167"],"_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-66e99a98168ac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1206167' first='IIan' last='Ervin'] is already a top ranked prospect but that is more for his work on the offensive line, where I think he will play at the next level is on defense.

He has a great first step and a number pass rushing moves, the young man is super quick off the snap. Snavely also has a 4.3 GPA I would be curious to see who begins offering this kid very soon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BeastBSnavely/status/1836016675281367530","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BeastBSnavely/status/1836016675281367530 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1455155"],"_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-66e99a9816939"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Recently adding Hamn's file as he is a sure fire tackler as I have seen in quite some time.

Competing in the Cedar Run district will give Morris more opportunities to face some highly regarded receivers, all the more reason for him to show you he can compete. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/khamoni_morris/status/1835400099997827284","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/khamoni_morris/status/1835400099997827284 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[1171993],"_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-66e99a98169c4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A tough outside linebacker for Craig County who is making plays is sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='1313484' first='Noah' last='Paxton']. Good speed and range he had a nice outing in their tough loss to Montcalm last week.

Harvey has elite Power 5 back speed and has obtained offers from VMI and Howard, do not sleep on his ability at defensive back though. [player_tooltip player_id='1455171' first='Mykell' last='Harvey'] can fly at running back, but his work at corner could be intriguing to the numerous FBS coaches interested in him. A two time state champion and a first team all state selection, Harvey will be on tv screens on Saturday afternoons very soon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/MyykelllHarvey/status/1708518747688845372","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MyykelllHarvey/status/1708518747688845372 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
