Small School Standouts on #1 Ranked Basketball Teams

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Recruiters love multisport athletes and basketball players seem to transition well to the football field. Below are 4 players that standout on Friday nights in the Fall as well as in the Winter on the hardwood. Post season begins this week and each of these players are on the #1 seeded team in their respective class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>AAA: Sandy Creek</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["910346"],"_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-67b3d6e244650"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The #2 RB prospect in the State isn't just home chilling waiting for Spring ball to start. The 6'0 200 RB is making contributions on the top Sandy Creek (24-3) basketball team. A good defender with quick hands and can knock down 3's from the SG position. A National recruit on the football field with 51 reported offers with Cal and USC being the latest. With back to back 1000-yd seasons, Latimer has grown into one of the most sought RB prospects in the South. Outstanding speed and agility combined with great size, Latimer will excel at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1089009"],"_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-67b3d6e2446c6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 6'3 230 Edge rusher was one of our highest Stock Risers in our latest Prep Redzone rankings. Harvey has really added some good weight over the last 2 seasons without losing any of his quickness. A hard hitting, physical kid on the field that has the speed to chase sideline to sideline. He has some ups on the basketball court and is a rebound machine. Harvey saw his recruiting take off during the last in person cycle with numerous offers including West Virginia, Pitt and Georgia Tech. Athletic, high motor Edge with good upside at the P4 level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>A - Southwest Macon</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1090795"],"_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-67b3d6e244711"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Listed at 6'5 220 now, the rising Senior TE/DL is 2nd on the team in rebounds. Callaway has outstanding length, quickness and has added 15 pounds of muscle over the last season. One of, if not the, top pass rusher in the Macon Area. A 3-year varsity starter on defense that has amassed 247 TT with 71 TFL during that span. He showed his versatility last Fall, contributing at TE on offense. Callaway averaged over 16 ypc on 17 receptions and scored 3 TDs. I really like his length and athleticism and the progress he has made in the weight room. A hidden jewel in Middle Georgia. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Chase Dupree","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"165","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Southwest Macon","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67b3d6e2447c4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I'm going to add Dupree to the list even though he took his Junior season off from football. Not sure if he plans on making his return to the gridiron for his Senior season but his 1st two seasons deserve a mention. Primarily a drop back passer, Dupree passed for over 4600 yards with 45 TDs his freshman and sophomore years combined. The 1st Team All State basketball player is averaging over 20 pts per game this season and has plenty of D1 interest. His focus on his basketball career may keep him off the football field but if he returns he has the ability to catch some eyes next Fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
