Johntay has excellent speed in the open field and shows strong hands and good ball skills on both sides of the ball. Johntay is also an excellent performer in both Indoor and Outdoor Track. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["947159"],"_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-67829c8092fae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">M.A (Mauriangelo) is a playmaker who can do some good things with the ball in his hands. He excels in the quick screen game.and on short passes where he can catch the football in open spaces and use his excellent speed and agility in the open field to make plays. M.A currently has reported offers from Roanoke, Emory &amp; Henry, Fairmont State, and Bluefield University. M.A is also a dangerous kickoff returner on Special Teams, with the threat to take it the distance every time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["883459"],"_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-67829c8092ff9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alex's Head Coach at Olympic called him one of the best receivers he has ever coached. Alex was selected to the Queen City Senior Bowl, and he has a penchant for making tough contested catches in critical situations. Alex has good speed to gain separation in man coverage, and he also can run a variety of routes both on the outside and in the slot. Alex recently received an offer from Bluefield State University and has had interest from multiple other colleges. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1202051"],"_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-67829c8093040"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I first saw Joe at a summer college camp and thought he had excellent potential for a breakout season this year with his combination of size, speed, catch radius, and technical route ability. Joe's season was limited due to injury, but he showed some great skills. Joe has an excellent ability to high-point the football in single coverage against cornerbacks. Joe also loves to get physical in the running game, blocking to the whistle against defensive backs routinely on film. Finally, Joe has good long speed to make big plays down the football field as a playmaker. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["947156"],"_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-67829c8093083"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cam'Ron recently committed to play college football at Morgan State University after having several offers to choose from. Cam'Ron can run a wide variety of routes and excels after the catch with some excellent vision and speed with the football in his hands. Coming from a winning program, I expect Cam'Ron to have a good bit of success on the next level. Cam'Ron's physical frame is impressive and he should be ready to potentially contribute early on the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Other Receivers added to the rankings include:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1173525' first='Braylon' last='Stewart'] - Middle Creek</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1080643' first='Nare' last='Means'] - Panther Creek</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1516030' first='Tyshaun' last='Goldston'] - Randleman</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1093506' first='Tyell' last='Saunders'] - Northeastern</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1303157' first='Jakota' last='Hase'] - Covenant Day</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1050645' first='Isaiah' last='Blair'] - Northwood</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1418000' first='Jalen' last='Morgan'] - Havelock</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1449645' first='Jaylon' last='McKoy'] - North Stanly</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1559535' first='Darrion' last='Ellis'] - Clayton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1407506' first='Kyle' last='Mosley'] - Lake Norman</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
