Hill was one of top 40 performers and was constantly getting open for this NOVA Nightmare squad. You can tell by his route running this young man is a master of his craft. He played a lot for a senior deep Gainesville squad last fall and should be poised for more targets in 2025. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Vincent__Hill/status/1886437068340900029","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Vincent__Hill/status/1886437068340900029 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["412072"],"_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-67dc447e88f01"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Part of a Woodbridge Vikings squad fresh off a district title, Marquece showed why he has the Woodbridge fan buzzing after last fall.

He made a few difficult catches look very easy, I think the change from quarterback to receiver is really going to benefit Henderson at the next level. Athletic enough to play multiple positions, Henderson was a force offensively for the NOVA Nightmares. Look at some of these catches below!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/elijah_h15/status/1896215283255370042","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/elijah_h15/status/1896215283255370042 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297627"],"_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-67dc447e88f96"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Division 1 prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1297627' first='Raphael' last='Johnson'] had a good weekend per usual he used his size and strength to his advantage. Johnson is 6'2 and not done growing at 190 lbs., he has an offer from Howard University already with more sure to come. It makes sense why he was able to succeed in this tournament, he was an all conference selection as a junior for Woodbridge and will be one of the top recruits out of Prince William County this fall. The senior to be is just beginning to scratch the surface of his potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1612496"],"_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-67dc447e88fdd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Big incoming freshman quarterback coming in [player_tooltip player_id='1612496' first='Aiden' last='El-Alaily'] already looks like a veteran out their throwing touchdown passes. The youngster is already 6'0 and was a calming presence for NOVA nightmares connecting with upper classmen both days. A lot to like about this kid's moxie and the way he see the field already. El-Alaily was on point against elite competition, check out some of his throws below. Wherever he ends up next season, I would anticipate the freshman to be on the football field come Friday nights in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Aiden_Elalaily/status/1902023239028625551","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Aiden_Elalaily/status/1902023239028625551 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
