<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 4th annual Show-Me Shootout was held in St. Louis this past weekend. He is a look at some of the top players on the 18U championship winners Boom Football.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Reece Shanklin</strong> QB 2027 6'2" 186<br>- Really smooth passer who plays calm and sees the field really well and made good decisions. Has a quick release and fired the ball in their to receivers with good velocity. Has a very strong arm and throws a nice deep ball on the money with good placement. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='402127' first='Kyren' last='Eleby'] QB 2026 6'2" 285<br>- One of the best throwers at the 7v7 tournament. Can really spin it and makes every pass look text book. Another strong armed QB who has nice tough and knows where to put the ball where only his receiver has the best shot at it. Takes his time but plays with a sense of urgency and makes quick decisions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Armaad Sharp</strong> WR/TE 2026 6'4" 225<br>- Has tight end size with a wide receivers skill set. Is quick off the line and makes quick moves running good routes and the burst to get separation from defensive backs. Made it look easy with a lot of his catches using his size to his advantage with his height and body positioning. Displayed great hands all tournament. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ronnie Gomiller</strong> WR 2027 5'10" 175<br>- Super quick receiver with speed who opposing defensive backs had a hard time keeping up with and covering. He's a blur in his routes and gets downfield in a hurry seeming to be open every time I saw him hauling in his targeted passes with ease. Big time playmaker who already has multiple D1 offers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Raheem Floyd</strong> CB 2027 6'1" 170<br>- Absolute lockdown cornerback with great speed, timing and ball skills. Has a good back peddle, hips and can turn and run with anyone. It's no wonder he had as many picks as he did last year as a sophomore and is already a target of colleges with multiple D1 offers. May have been the best defensive back I watched at the tournament. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Royce Searcy</strong> WR 2027 5'9" 172<br>- Another playmaker who had a great tournament. Royce was a tough match up who seemed to beat defensive backs on multiple occasions and score. Was really good at making the difficult catches and showed some great hands and concentration to match his speed and elusive quickness to get open. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1160641' first='Jabarri' last='Lofton']</strong> S 2027 6'2" 195<br>- A big time playmaker at any position which earned him a PRZ top 10 spot in his class based on his play his first two seasons of varsity ball. He has great height, size and strength for a safety and the speed, athleticism and skills to possibly play cornerback. Jabarri came away with some nice picks and pass break ups at the tournament to be named among the top defensive backs at the event. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
