As a sophomore, the shifty, sure-handed wideout hauled in 45 passes for 652 yards and five touchdowns while also helping out at running back. He's a strong route-runner currently ranked as the No. 18 ATH in the state for the 2027 class. Don't be surprised if he has a giant junior season this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["885975"],"_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-68693a67d06e8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An elusive weapon with natural speed and impressive change of direction, Clark is one of the top sleeper receivers in North Georgia for the 2027 class and is coming off a strong sophomore season where he made plays at both wide receiver and in the return game on special teams. He caught 41 passes on offense for 553 yards and one touchdown but could easily see those numbers improve in a big way next season as a junior. Look for him to see plenty of passes and opportunities come his way in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1658577"],"_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-68693a67d0764"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A natural route-runner with quick feet, burst, and consistent hands, Britt is a metro-Atlanta wideout still flying under the radar in the 2027 class. He's a creative wideout who can sneak past defenders down the field and make them miss in the open field. He's one of the top returning pass-catchers in the area and is coming off a big sophomore season where he caught 51 passes for 588 yards and three touchdowns. He runs well and should be a to-go weapon in the passing game next season for the Cougars as a junior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["210612"],"_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-68693a67d081a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A multi-sport standout and one of the top sleeper wide receivers in Cobb County, Bruce has plenty of size, natural athleticism, strong hands, and big-play ability. He can make a tough catch in traffic, can runs through defenders after the catch, and could be even better as a junior next fall. He was one of the more productive receivers in the Kennesaw area last year in the 2027 class after catching 63 passes for 560 yards and scoring eight touchdowns. Look for him to have another big season in 2025 as a junior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1702137"],"_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-68693a67d0870"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An underrated South Georgia receiver who should really shine for Colquitt County this fall, Locket is a quick, shifty receiver who can stretch the field and find a way to sneak past defenders. He tracks the ball well and secures it with ease. For Dougherty last season, the 6-foot-0 175-pounder caught 34 passes for 506 yards and 8 touchdowns for an impressive 21 yards per catch. Good things happen when he's got the ball in his hands, and it should happen on a consistent basis next fall for the Packers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
