Lonestar State Showdown 2029 and 2030 Observations

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We were able to get out and see some ballers this past weekend. It was a lot of fun out there in Dallas, Texas. Seeing the younger guys balling was very cool. Let's check it out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1616763' first='Hendrix' last='Funk']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Funk was amazing this weekend. This is a 2029 prospect from Randall, Texas who is going to be a real stud. We are thinking that this kid has the talent to be one of the top prospects in his class. Funk is very accurate, and he is a natural baller. You can tell that he is really cool out there. He is not one of those guys who is going to stare one receiver down. You can see that he knows how to really survey the field. I am really looking forward to being able to see him again.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>James Kukla</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kukla is one of the best in Texas for his class. This is a young man who can play multiple positions on the football field. We feel like he is going to be a defensive back or wide receiver on the next level. Kukla is one of those players who is always going to play hard on the field. He has good feet and hips. He knows how to mirror defenders on defense while also being able to make things happen on offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1616772' first='Keyvon' last='Jones']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jones is a quarterback who was out there handling business for his squad. He was able to complete some good passes and help his team make a good run in his tournament. It is easy to see that he is an accurate quarterback who knows how to deliver the football. He goes to Aycock Middle School. Jones stands around 5-foot-9. He is definitely a player to keep up with from this class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1135492' first='Dankiea' last='Landor Jr.']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Landor is a nice receiver who is in the 2030 class. We have been very impressed with the way he has progressed over the years. Landor is going to be a guy to keep up with in his class. Landor is a guy who knows how to get open. The more he is able to get some route running training under his belt, the better he is going to be.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Hudson Parker</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Parker is a good quarterback from the 2029 class who was impressive during this tournament. He will be attending Lovejoy. Parker is a player who does a good job of being accurate on the run. It was fun seeing him really step his game up more yesterday when things mattered. He is a big help to his team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Brayden Norman</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Norman is another player who was really impressive this weekend. He was making things happen on both sides of the ball. Norman was able to get open with ease and make some nice catches for his quarterback. He definitely is going to be a receiver or defensive back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1411782' first='Zaiden' last='Hill']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hill was another quarterback who was out there handling his own. We saw Hill make a lot of plays that helped his team make a nice run yesterday. Hill was delivering a lot of passes that was helping his receivers make some great catches. He is very good at delivering the deep ball. He is only 13 years old. We are going to be sure to keep up with this young man.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
