He's quick, twitchy, and shows tremendous ball skills that have helped him reel in 63 passes for 1,321 yards and 15 touchdowns. He's played better and better as the season has moved along, and over his last two games, Elder has caught 22 passes for over 400 yards and five touchdowns. He's been near-impossible to cover down the field and will lead his team to a first-round matchup against East Jackson. Look for Elder to see a giant bump in the next Prep Redzone update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["339648"],"_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-672b8c4c7e790"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the very best wide receivers across the country, it's easy to see why this Tennessee commitment is having a tremendous senior season. The long, athletic pass-catcher from the Atlanta area has some of the best ball skills you'll find in the state and has been almost unguardable this fall as a senior. This Westlake standout has caught 61 passes this season for 1,248 yards and 13 touchdowns. He's been exceptional after the catch and has been a consistent weapon all season long, hitting the 100-yard mark six times this fall while hitting the 200-yard mark twice. He's been a scoring machine and is showing why he's the No. 2 wide receiver prospect in the state right now. He's playing terrific football right now and will lead Westlake to a first-round matchup against Collins Hill.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["339694"],"_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-672b8f27a9b1a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more productive Middle Georgia receivers over the last four years, Mitchell is having a tremendous final season for the Houston County Bears catching passes from senior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='321465' first='Antwann' last='Hill']. Mitchell is a twitchy, sure-handed wideout who can get open quickly and take off down the field after the catch. He's a smooth runner and a natural playmaker, hauling in 68 passes for 1,212 yards and 14 touchdowns this fall. He's been a true go-to option all season long and has hit the 100-yard receiving mark in six of his 10 games. He's scored a touchdown in eight different games and has been one of the more reliable, productive 2025 receivers across the state this season. Mitchell and the Bears take on Clarke Central in the first round.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1552049' first='Ethan' last='Willingham']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"180","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Trion","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-672d14c97d9c0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A sleeper, playmaking receiver with a good frame at 6-foot-1 180-pounds, Willingham is a craft route-runner who can sneak by defensive backs down the field and make a play on the ball. He gets open, runs well, and has shown consistent hands all year long. He's been one of the more productive wideouts in the area, hauling in 57 passes for 1,040 yards and seven touchdowns, He's hit the 75-yard receiving mark in seven games this season and has hit the 90-yard mark in his last seven games. He's playing better and better as the season has progressed, scoring five of his seven touchdowns over the final three games of the regular season. He's a wideout who should see a bump in his Prep Redzone ranking next month. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1552042' first='Kendall' last='Sims']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"170","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Schley County","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-672d14c97da6d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A small-town wideout with big-play ability, Sims is a twitchy, explosive wideout who can stretch the field and make plays in all aspects of the offense. He's a sure-handed playmaker who was consistent all season long at receiver, catching 69 passes for 928 yards and 11 touchdowns. He's hit the 100-yard mark in five of his nine games and has done a great job recently of finding the endzone. He's scored four of his 11 touchdowns over the last two games and is hoping to end his final season in a big way. He's one of the top receivers in the area and deserves a new Prep Redzone ranking next month.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
