<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These under-the-radar pass-catchers are bound for giant junior seasons in 2025...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1635011"],"_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-67c8a34f5e259"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the very best 2027 wide receivers in South Georgia, Johnson is a big-play machine for Clinch County who made every catch matter last season as a sophomore. A vertical threat with outstanding hands at 6-foot-1 175-pounds, Johnson caught 30 passes during the 2024 season for an eye-opening 731 yards and five touchdowns. He tracks the ball well, secures it in tight coverage, and averaged an impressive 24 yards per catch last season. Look for him to take his game to the next level this fall as a junior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["722639"],"_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-67c8a34f5e2eb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A sleeper wide receiver in Augusta coming off a promising sophomore season in 2024, McBride is a natural athlete with a shifty style of play. He's a strong route-runner who can get open with enough speed to take off down the field. He can make plays in several different ways but really stood out catching the ball, hauling in 45 passes for 652 yards and five touchdowns. His best performance came in his final game of the season where he caught 10 passes for 192 yards and one touchdown against Baldwin. He flashed D1-caliber talent and could see some offers come his way down the road.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["644780"],"_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-67c8a34f5e36a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A dynamic young pass-catcher from Southeast Georgia, this Brunswick receiver was a go-to option down the field in the passing game due to his speed, hands, and big-play potential. He's not the biggest receiver around, but he's quick, explosive, and does a great job of finding the football and securing it on a consistent basis. When the ball came his way, big plays happened. Murray caught 31 passes for 642 yards and six touchdowns. He ended the season on a high note as he took off for a season-high 117 yards on three catches with one touchdown against Villa Rica. If Murray continues to develop over the next few months and can add some good weight, he could be one of the best receivers in the area as a junior next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1635047"],"_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-67c8a34f5e3de"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A metro-Atlanta wideout on the rise who was dangerous after the catch last season, Lynch is a speedy receiver who deserves more recognition after a strong sophomore season last fall. He's a twitchy, sure-handed pass-catcher who can leap up and make a big catch high in the air. He also shows the ability to make defenders miss and pick up big yards after the catch. This sleeper receiver hauled in 34 passes in 2024 for 558 yards and three touchdowns. Look for those numbers to only increase this upcoming fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["655240"],"_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-67c8a34f5e459"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A promising receiver from West Georgia who can get open and make plays down the field, George is a craft route-runner with above-average speed, reliable hands, and the ability to elude defenders down the field. He was a dependable weapon all season long and ended his strong sophomore season with 30 receptions for 533 yards and four touchdowns. He's one of the top returning receivers in the region and has a chance to lit up the stat sheet as a junior next season. He holds offers from Kennesaw State, East Tennessee, and Georgia State and has a chance to see more come his way over the next few months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
