These guys are seriously gifted and dedicated.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The players below are ones to watch – seriously, keep an eye on them!

Currently, he is a key player for Leve82, a nationally ranked 7-on-7 team, where he has led his team to multiple tournament finals, securing several victories this spring. Beyond his technical skills, Jabril demonstrates exceptional leadership qualities and a winning mentality that will translate seamlessly to the next level.</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":1654762,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Mariano Thorne","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2029","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"130","_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":"York Middle Scool","_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-67f7381f30bab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rigo's exceptional talent as a wide receiver has been consistently demonstrated across numerous national 7v7 competitions, beginning with 808 Havoc from Hawaii, and continuing with his current team, Flight 300 (VA.).
