<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1591093' first='Jack' last='Hessler'], Lindbergh</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>6'5" 221<br>- One of the most athletic tight ends in the state regardless of class. Runs like a receiver and has similar quick twitch and body control of a smaller receiver too. He's a good route runner and has good hands and concentration with the ability to go up and get the ball or layout and make the grab. Jack is also very physical in battling for a ball and with his blocking as well. He has good size and continues to add weight and strength while keeping his speed and quickness. Puts in the work to keep getting better. Should be a real sleeper who excels on the next level. <br></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1320111' first='Brooks' last='Hall'], Platte County</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>6'5" 225<br>- Another very athletic tight end prospect who flies down the field like a wide receiver using his impressive speed and displaying superior ball skills and pass catching ability. Does a good job helping out his quarterback and continuing to work to get open and make himself a target. One of the top TEs in this class who hasn't received the type of recruiting interest that he should be getting. Brooks is also a tough player who likes to block and really does a good job sustaining them. Has a good football IQ and is a team player. Will make whatever team he lands on at the next level better.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1320107' first='Jake' last='Plummer'], CBC </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>6'6" 220<br>- The long, athletic Plummer is already known to colleges with offers from Southern Miss, Lindenwood University and Miami University in the bag already, and with multiple other schools showing interest in him and having him by their place for junior days and spring practices coming up. This despite not putting up big numbers as a junior. Jake, who also plays DE, is also a very talented basketball player, whose skills on the court translate well to the football field with his hands and body control and getting positioning on defenders. He runs very well and with his combo of size and overall athleticism he is a player who should continue to rise on teams boards. Especially with a big senior season coming up in 2025.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1130121' first='Alex' last='Wood'], Helias</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>6'5" 230<br>- Out in Mid-Missouri is another basketball standout who is a college caliber tight end prospect that has multiple colleges hovering around and trying to get to their camps and junior day event. Woods has contributed on varsity the past two seasons, primarily as a very good blocker in their predominantly run offense, but when his number has been called upon in the passing game he has come through with flying colors. He's more of a traditional TE with a big frame and good size and strength that has really good hands and can run. He's physical and really sustains and finishes his blocks well. He's looked very good catching the ball at combine events and camps. Alex will be a complete well rounded TE on the next level. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='849680' first='Zay' last='Amman'], Holt</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>6'4" 230<br>- Zay has been a nice contributor at OLB and EDGE for the Troy Buchanan since he was a freshman, but has transferred now to Wentzville Holt and now will have his size and athletic ability utilized on the offensive side of the ball at tight end. as well as remaining on the DL for his new school. He is explosive and quick on defense with good speed and has a very good motor. In the little bit I have seen of him working and training at tight end he definitely looks the part. He gets downfield and does a good job with route running and has shown good hands working with his future QB. The Indians really utilize their TE in the offense and it will be a real opportunity for him to showcase this ability to college coaches in 2025. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1129721' first='Jaishon' last='White'], Chillicothe</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>6'5" 230<br>- Another dominant defensive line prospect who sees double duty at tight end already and could play on either side of the ball. Jaison dominated at defensive end with 13 sacks and 71 tackles as a junior, but he also had 8 catches for 133 yards and 3 touchdowns in a run heavy offense. He gets good release and has pretty good speed to separate from defenders, along with using his size extremely well to make catches. Jaishon has very good hands, something he also displays on the basketball court, where he is also very talented as a player. He is also a talented blocker who finishes his blocks and likes the physical play. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
