<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We recently did a survey across the state of North Carolina for some unsigned senior players still desiring to play college football. In this feature, we will take a look at some offensive players across the state who can help a college football program in the future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["516340"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1625368,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-67b403631ed0a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- It blows my mind that Sadat is unsigned right now. You see what we think of him as he is ranked our #13 receiver in the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Sadat does a great job of winning against 1 on 1 coverage - he had a great catch for a touchdown in the Queen City Senior Bowl which he was selected for where he highpointed the football against a cornerback. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Finally, Sadat can be a great asset on special teams as a kickoff and punt returner - he returned several of these for touchdowns throughout his high school career. <br><br><br><br><br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1174840"],"_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-67b403631ed64"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- I think Anthony playing at a smaller school level gets held against him, but he DOMINATED that level of play throughout his career. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Anthony was the main offensive threat for a Hickory Grove program the last three years, people knew he was getting the ball, planned against him, and he still went out there and put up over 6,000 yards in his career. He played well in the Queen City Senior Bowl also, proving he has real talent on the same level as his peers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1533960"],"_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-67b403631edad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- I'm surprised Gregory is still unsigned, mainly because he excels at three positions on the field - running back/wide receiver, defensive back, and kick returner.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- I think Gregory excels the most with the ball in his hands, as he made a lot of big plays for a team that struggled all season. Excellent speed, catches the ball well in space and is fearless. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- As a kick returner, Gregory shows quick feet and an elite ability to make people miss and explode into space.

A center or guard, Caleb plays with good technique and overall strength consistently. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- I think Caleb falls victim to the measurables that colleges always look for with players, but at the right level, Caleb can be an absolute asset because he is someone who's going to do his assignment 100 percent, give maximum effort, and be an example players that can follow. There's always room in a locker room for that. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Caleb was a top performer at a recent showcase, and his heart, his technique, and his film are all pluses in my opinion. Colleges should give him a close look. </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":"Darius Ervin Jr. ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_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":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Rocky River","_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-67b403631ee9a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">- I saw Darius live earlier this season, and he has some nice skills as a receiver who can play outside or in the slot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Darius does a good job of winning against man coverage with speed and good route running. Playing with a young quarterback, Darius made the most of the opportunities he got down the field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Given Darius's speed and playmaking ability, I think he could be an asset in the kick return game as well.
