Bryant who has a big sophomore season coming up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"<em>At 5'7 150, Compton is a versatile pass catcher who can hurt defenses in tons of different ways. Compton is quick and can attack multiple levels of the field- he's a sharp route runner, has great hands, and is dangerous after the catch. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>I'm seriously impressed with Compton's physicality. He runs hard, has great contact balance, and often requires multiple defenders to bring him down. Compton does a really great job pairing that with his speed/elusiveness, making him a seriously tough-to-guard WR. Watch out for Comptibn moving forward, he has a bright future ahead at Paul Bryant.</em>"</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out some of Compton's film below; you'll come away impressed:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/22699156/671e4459cd261424dabaf603' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-689d4a6f50004"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1801670"],"_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-689d4a6f5005a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1801670' first='Makai' last='Holmes'] is an up-and-coming QB out of Foley who I've heard could be starting for the Lions this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"<em>Holmes has a live arm and can make some really impressive throws. He has great arm strength and impressive accuracy he uses to lead and deliver beautiful passes to his WRs, hitting them in stride for huge gains downfield. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>I'm seriously impressed with how Holmes throws on the move and off platform. He does a great job avoiding pressure and keeping his eyes downfield to find the open man, and once he does, he can make some seriously impressive plays.

He does a terrific job using his size to his advantage and constantly requires multiple defenders to cover and bring him down. Pickens also moves well at his size; he's quick, can get downfield fast, and has top-end speed that allows him to separate and outrun entire defenses.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>I'm impressed with Pickens' hands. He's a reliable pass catcher who can haul in receptions through contact and over the top of defenders. On top of that, he thrives as a blocker in the run game and consistently helps open up wide rushing lanes at the line of scrimmage and in the open field.</em>"</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Do yourself a favor and watch some of Pickens' film below; he's a talented TE with a big senior year ahead.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19315371/671fd9c04c53f0b9b596a38f' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-689d4a6f500ce"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1801733"],"_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-689d4a6f50186"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1801733' first='Tate' last='Graham'] is a talented 2027 QB out of Baker who really impressed us with his tape this week. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"<em>At 6'5 225, Graham has the prototypical build for the QB position. He has great size, impressive arm talent, and a clear understanding of what he needs to do with the ball.

He has terrific arm strength and ball placement that he uses to drop dimes over the tops of defenses for massive plays. I'm seriously impressed with how he hits his WRs in stride. Even if they're covered, he'll put the ball only where his guys can make a play on it. Graham should be on everyone's radar this fall- I'm not kidding. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last fall, Graham threw for 1500 yards and 14 TDs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Graham is a name to watch out for this fall- he's a talented QB with some great sophomore tape, check him out below:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17986177/66f6c8259f41ef6da95bc2fc' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-689d4a6f501ad"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
