2024 Regular Season All-State Teams: 4A Offense

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we begin the month of November, another regular season of high school football in the state of Kentucky has come and gone. With that being said, I wanted to acknowledge some of the top performers in each class before we head into the playoffs this weekend. Over the next week, I will be releasing my 2024 Regular Season All-State teams in each class. After already covering classes 6A and 5A, I will now turn my attention to class 4A, starting with the offensive side of the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["735547"],"_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-672d4993a62c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='735547' first='Jack' last='James'] has continued to prove that he is one of the top quarterbacks and overall players in the state this season. James finished the regular season as the statewide leader (all classes) in passing, completing 230/336 passes for 3,054 yards, 43 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 10 games. Jack has a cannon for an arm which he uses to lead his receivers down the field in the deep passing game. He also puts a nice amount of touch on his passes, placing the ball where only his intended receiver can catch it. James also finished the regular season with 41 carries for 113 yards and five touchdowns. Jack is committed to Troy where I can see him being their quarterback of the future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1489400"],"_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-672d4aaec7e96"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1489400' first='Cavalli' last='Pittman'] has truly bust onto the scene this season with a very impressive junior year. Pittman finished the regular season as the statewide leader (all classes) in rushing, carrying the ball 244 times for 2,600 yards and 33 times in 10 games. He has very explosive speed which he uses to hit the running lane with a sense of urgency then run away from the defense on long runs. When defenders are able to catch up to him, he has shown the strength and contact balance to break tackles without losing stride. Pittman doesn't currently hold any offers but he is a player who college coaches should definitely have their eyes on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["662334"],"_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-672d4cd798b81"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='662334' first='DeVuan' last='Jones'] is another player who has caught my attention this season.

Jones is dangerous in the open field with the ball in his hands, showing the speed and elusiveness to turn short passes/screens into big plays at any given moment. He is also very reliable in contested/jump ball situations, showing the athletic ability to out jump most defensive backs to catch the ball at its highest point. DeVuan has also returned one kickoff for a touchdown this season. Jones currently holds offers from UAB, Lincoln University, and Kentucky State, and I wouldn't be surprised to see more come his way as he has the talent to play at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1049425"],"_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-672d4dc6267b7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1049425' first='Gray' last='Schmittel'] is a wide receiver who has been on my radar for a while now and has continued to impress this season.

Schmittel has explosive speed which he uses to blow by opposing defensive backs in the deep passing game. He is also a skilled route runner, using smooth breaks in his routes to create separation. Gray has also thrown one passing touchdown and has made an impact on defense this season, accounting for 11 tackles, one tackle for loss, and four interceptions.

Tompkins has also scored three rushing touchdowns this season and has made an impact on defense, finishing the regular season with 33 tackles and four interceptions.

He has also shown reliable hands in the red zone as well as the ability to get up the field after the catch to pick up extra yards. Driver has also made an impact on defense at defensive end, finishing the regular season with 25 tackles, four tackles for loss, and two sacks.

Jarvis also does a great job of running his feet through contact out of his stance to drive his man down the field. Strickland is also very reliable in pass protection, showing the footwork to mirror opposing pass rushers and the awareness to constantly have his head on a swivel to find work.

McClure lines up at guard where he is very reliable as a run blocker. He does a great job of running his feet through contact to drive his man down the field quickly to create a running lane for the ball carrier. McClure has also shown that he can be relied on as a puller as he has the speed to get around the corner out in front of the ball carrier and then has shown the ability to destroy any defender in his path as a lead blocker.
