<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>f you are NEW and looking to subscribe, use CODE: Davis30 for a discount off of your first subscription! Today we will be taking a look at some of the receivers that were able to turn some heads and raise their stock in the process. These are the players that will be poised for a breakout season come fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1620997"],"_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-6811272bdfa1e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">With his size and physicality, Hicks presents the frame of a hybrid receiver, tight end prospect. Though he had a few early drops, he settled in as the day progressed and began to showcase his natural catching ability. Hicks ran clean routes and made several eye catching grabs, particularly in traffic. His size makes him an ideal possession receiver, capable of winning contested catches. Out of Greeley, he's a name to watch closely as a physical mismatch on the perimeter or in the slot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1664061"],"_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-6811272bdfa7a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Banks impressed with his fluid route running and reliable hands, plucking passes cleanly out of the air during drills. That consistency carried into live reps, where he made several difficult, contested catches. Banks displayed the ability to create separation with subtle quickness and keep defenders off balance. His polish and body control make him one of the more complete receivers from the event and a must add to any 2025 watchlist.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1664924"],"_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-6811272bdfac1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Franklin brought a smooth, composed presence throughout the day. He showed soft hands during drill work and translated that precision into competitive reps. During one on ones and 3v2 situations, he displayed excellent vision, finding soft spots in zone coverage and securing tough catches in traffic. With his sharp cuts and ability to work underneath, Franklin projects well as a reliable possession receiver who can move the chains consistently.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1620913"],"_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-6811272bdfb05"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mehan showed off his versatility and football IQ across multiple phases of the camp. As a receiver, he was smooth in drills and consistently caught the ball cleanly, flashing particularly strong performances over the middle in both one on ones and 7 on 7s. Mehan also stepped in at defensive back, holding his own in coverage and staying stride for stride with opposing receivers. That two-way ability and willingness to compete make him a high upside prospect worth following closely.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1611965"],"_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-6811272bdfb49"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Adamson ran crisp, technically sound routes and regularly gained separation with sharp breaks. He was effective in one on ones and 7 on 7s, using his vertical ability to high point the football and come down with tough catches. With strong hands and body control, Adamson showed the makings of a consistent downfield threat. He's a receiver who can win both on timing routes and in contested catch situations.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
