Offord was unstoppable at WR, RB, and DB for Parker and is now an early enrollee at Oregon looking to make a similar impact for the Ducks. At 6'1 185, Offord is extremely athletic, has a great set of hands, and has a ton of instincts and a high football IQ that allows him to make plays wherever he is lined up. Although he was a weapon on both sides of the ball for Parker, Offord is expected to play cornerback at the next level, and understandably so. Offord is an extremely talented DB who can cover a wide variety of receivers, has great ball skills, and is a reliable tackler willing to make plays against the run. Last fall Offord put up some terrific numbers throughout his senior season- recording 86 carries for 623 yards and 16 touchdowns, 46 total tackles (35 solo), 4 interceptions, 5 pass breakups, and 2 fumble recoveries. It's been a blast covering Naeem's impressive careers at both Huffman and Parker, be sure to watch him next fall at Oregon!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["379573"],"_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-677eb622c2c85"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='379573' first='KJ' last='Lacey']</strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/kj-lacey/"></a> has been an absolute blast to watch throughout his career at Saraland- since his freshman season, Lacey has been one of the top quarterbacks in the country and has only gotten better every year. Lacey has unreal arm talent- he has a ton of arm strength and terrific accuracy that allows him to place the ball wherever he wants on the field. It's extremely impressive watching how well Lacey connects with his receivers, no matter where they are on the field, Lacey hits his targets perfectly in stride and places the ball only where they can make a play on it. Lacey is also really mobile and can avoid pressure, escape the pocket, and make some great throws on the run as well. All of this showed up on tape this past season- Lacey had a dominant senior year where he completed 185-299 passing attempts for 3042 yards and 40 touchdowns to only 7 interceptions. It's been a blast covering Lacey's career at Saraland, he's a special player with loads of potential at the next level. Be sure to watch out for him at Texas, he's going to develop into a top-tier college quarterback! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["216875"],"_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-677eb622c2d1f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='216875' first='Zion' last='Grady']</strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/zion-grady/"></a> is a dominant EDGE prospect out of Enterprise that has become one of the nation's best over the last four years. At 6'4 235, Grady has great size and a ton of athleticism at EDGE that allows him to completely wreck havoc on opposing offenses. Grady is explosive off the line of scrimmage- he has a terrific first step, plays with a ton of speed and power, and uses those skills to overwhelm offensive tackles, get into the backfield, and make plays. It doesn't matter if opposing offenses are trying to run or pass, Grady finds ways to rack up tackles for loss, sacks, and turnovers. Grady has been a force in the trenches since his freshman season at Charles Henderson and is sure to be a huge playmaker at the next level as well. Be sure to watch out for him at Ohio State- he'll have a heck of a career for the Buckeyes!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["228979"],"_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-677eb622c2da4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After transferring to Thompson earlier last year, [player_tooltip player_id='228979' first='Jared' last='Smith'] went on to have one of his best seasons yet this past season. Smith, an extremely talented EDGE, has dominated offensive lines across the state since his freshman season and did more of the same last fall. Standing at 6'6 235, Smith has a huge frame and tons of athleticism he uses to beat offensive linemen in the trenches. Smith has a great package of moves he uses to rush the passer and frequently finds himself in the backfield generating pressure and sacks on the quarterback every passing down. In addition to his pass-rushing skillset, Smith does a fantastic job setting the edge and getting after the run as well. He plays with a ton of pursuit, has a great motor, doesn't give up on plays, and will take down the ball carrier regardless of where he's lined up pre-snap. Last fall, Smith had a great senior season where he racked up 89 total tackles (55 solo, 22 for loss), 10.5 sacks, 23 hurries, 4 pass breakups, and an interception. Watch out for Smith at the next level, he's heading to Auburn and is sure to be a huge defensive playmaker there!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["228973"],"_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-677eb622c2e25"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='228973' first='Alvin' last='Henderson'] wrapped up his high school career in a legendary fashion- he is Alabama's new All-Time rushing record holder. It's been an amazing time covering Henderson's journey as a prospect these last four years, he's one of the top running back prospects in the nation, and for great reason. Henderson has terrific speed and top-end acceleration, once he enters the open field, it's impossible for defenses to stop him. Henderson plays with so much speed and elusiveness he can carve up and exploit every defense he faces, whether they load the box or not. Year after year, Henderson has put up video game numbers for Elba's offense, but nothing has come close to what he achieved this past season. Henderson had yet another ridiculous season this year, recording 276 carries for 3620 yards AND 61 touchdowns on the year. It's been awesome getting to cover a player as special as Henderson, be sure to watch him at Auburn next fall- he's undoubtedly going to be an instant playmaker once he gets on campus!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
