I was really impressed watching McBride throw the deep ball- he places a lot of touch underneath his passes, can throw some impressive hole shots, and perfectly hits his WRs in stride wherever they're located on the field. Another really impressive part of McBride's game is his mobility- he's quick on his feet and uses his legs to extend and make plays on the ground, consistently finding great yardage and the endzone once he leaves the pocket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McBride was incredibly productive last fall, ending his freshman year by completing 145/235 passing attempts for 2772 yards and 34 TDs to only 4 INTs, with another 56 carries for 373 yards and 6 TDs on the ground as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Be sure to watch McBride's tape below, he's a dominant QB with a huge future ahead- it's going to be exciting watching him head into his second year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/22525530/673caab0b23e9e2a96cc9289' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67ca1eabe0019"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1560194"],"_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-67ca1eabe0070"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1560194' first='Jamison' last='Barnes'] is a talented QB out of Briarwood Christian who led his team to a 6-3 record as a starter last fall and made a ton of huge plays in the process.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Barnes is a dual threat who can easily beat you through the air and on the ground- he's highly athletic and is a guy defenses have to gameplan against in multiple ways. Barnes is an effective passer- he sees the field really well and accurately hits his WRs all around the field, completing difficult passes along the sideline, deep downfield, and through tightly contested windows. What seriously impresses me with Barnes is how well he produces on the ground, he's got great speed, can make defenders miss, and is a threat in the open field every carry.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Barnes put together some impressive numbers last season, ending his freshman year by completing 61/92 passes for 1754 yards and 17 TDs, to 0 INTs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Barnes has a terrific skill set he put on full display last fall as you can see below- be on the lookout for him going into next season, he has a ton to offer!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18390380/673a19b6397c54798393637c' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67ca1eabe0095"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1540824"],"_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-67ca1eabe00d7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1540824' first='Sam' last='Sollie'] is an up-and-coming QB out of Gadsden City who made some really impressive plays throughout his freshman season last fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sollie already has some really impressive skills as a passer- he has some serious arm strength he uses to push the ball downfield and fit it through tight windows, consistently making tough throws all around the field. I'm really impressed with how quickly Sollie gets the ball out he's a good decision-maker with the ball and can quickly scan the field and hit his targets right after the snap. Sollie has a ton of potential for Gadsden City's offense going forward, he can make huge plays from the pocket and off script- it's going to be exciting watching him develop. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sollie ended his freshman year completing 29/39 passing attempts for 400 yards and 5 TDs to only one INT, with an additional 13 carries for 56 yards and 2 TDs on the ground. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm really looking forward to seeing how Sollie continues to progress, he made some impressive plays in his first year (see below), be on the lookout for him in the future!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18815091/6720fad90813f84ee6bcce70' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67ca1eabe00f7"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311401"],"_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-67ca1eabe0135"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1311401' first='Rakeveon' last='Goldsmith'] is an up-and-coming QB out of Hoover with a big future ahead of him- he can make huge plays with his arm and legs and has already contributed in some big ways to his team's offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Goldsmith has a big arm and is capable of making throws all around the field- he does a terrific job leading his WRs and not putting the ball in harm's way, consistently stretching the field with his arm strength and making great reads from the pocket.
