Morgan is a matchup nightmare for almost every secondary he's faced and shows no signs of slowing down. At 6'4 220 Morgan has great size and plays with a ton of speed and physicality out wide- he's a threat at every level of the field, has reliable hands, can highpoint the ball and bring in some tough-to-catch passes, and is incredible after the catch. All of those skills were on full display last season, Morgan ended the year with 70 receptions for 1162 yards and 14 touchdowns. With how well he's played in his first few seasons, Morgan has become one of the most highly recruited WRs in the nation- picking up offers from Auburn, Alabama, Ohio State, and plenty of top-tier programs. Be sure to keep track of Morgan next fall- he's set to have a massive senior year!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19773755/673d7570de358de37b2110de' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-678e78d44128d"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["676572"],"_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-67849e089aac4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='676572' first='Anthony' last='Jones']<a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/anthony-jones-5/"></a> </strong> has been phenomenal for Saint Paul's Episcopal's defense over the last few years. Jones is a highly athletic linebacker prospect who plays with a ton of speed, aggression, and physicality. Jones can do everything his coaches ask of him- he's a terrific pass rusher, can set the edge, attack the run, and is always around the ball impacting plays. It's seriously impressive watching Jones' effort on the field, he doesn't give up on plays, has great pursuit, and consistently finds ways to disrupt offenses throughout all four quarters. Jones put together another dominant junior season for Saint Paul's defense last fall, consistently making game-changing plays and helping his offense back onto the field all year long. With how well he's played the last few seasons, Jones has been highly recruited- he has picked up offers from Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, and more! Keep an eye on Jones next season, he's been dominant and shows no signs of slowing down!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16710131/673f56201f08c0145fbc1062' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-678e78d4412e8"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["350449"],"_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-67849e089ab43"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='350449' first='Landon' last='Duckworth']</strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/landon-duckworth/"></a> is a highly talented quarterback out of Jackson who has continually made a name for himself every year as a starter, and last season was no different. Duckworth has terrific arm strength, throws the ball with excellent touch, and delivers accurate passes all across the field. In addition to his arm talent, Duckworth has an elite ability to read defenses and does a great job utilizing his mobility to his advantage. Whenever Duckworth gets pressured or sees an open lane, he has the speed and elusiveness to extend and make the most out of broken plays. Duckworth had another huge year this fall, throwing for 3439 yards, 39 touchdowns, and only 10 interceptions, with an additional 648 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground as well. Duckworth is one of the top 2026 QB prospects in the entire nation, he's picked up offers from Georgia, Missouri, Auburn, and more. Be sure to watch Duckworth next fall- he's a seriously talented passer heading into a must-watch senior season!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17623161/66f9638d1743cf0430990082' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-678e78d44132b"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1213561"],"_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-67849e089abc3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1213561' first='Zyan' last='Gibson']<a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/zyan-gibson/"></a> </strong> is a dominant defensive back out of Gadsden City who has played fantastic for his defense the last few seasons. Gibson has great size at the position and is highly athletic- he has great speed, hands, and instincts that make him a valuable asset for his defense. Gibson is an all-around reliable defender- he reads and reacts to plays quickly, rarely gets beat downfield, and can make impact plays in man and zone coverage. Gibson is incredibly reliable in coverage- he can line up both inside and outside, does a great job reading opposing quarterback's eyes, and consistently uses his hands to break up and intercept passes. Gibson had another dominant season out in Gadsden City's secondary last fall where he consistently found ways to shut down opposing passing attacks by making huge plays out in coverage. Gibson just recently committed to Alabama- be sure to watch him next fall, he's going to put up an awesome senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17619343/6579648c0c539603fcf91a66' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-678e78d44136d"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401138"],"_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-67849e089ac3b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='401138' first='Shadarius' last='Toodle']</strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/shadarius-toodle/"></a> has played like one of the top MLB prospects in the country over the last two seasons for Cottage Hill Christian. At 6'3 210, Toodle is a destructive middle linebacker who plays with a ton of athleticism and instincts. Toodle has terrific speed and acceleration at his size he uses to easily maneuver around the field and make plays regardless of where he initially lines up pre-snap. It doesn't matter what the opposing offense runs, Toodle consistently finds himself in the right position to make plays on the ball every time he's on the field. It's been easy to see this in his film, Toodle is coming off a terrific junior season where he ended the year with 157 total tackles (113 solo, 13 for loss), 2 sacks, and one interception. Toodle has been highly recruited and just recently committed to Auburn- be sure to watch him next season before he takes off to the Plains!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16400752/673e321c6536928fd4abcf66' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-678e78d4413aa"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
