Husky Jamboree Top Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Husky Jamboree at Hough High School brought together two of the top programs in the state along with several others steeped in tradition. Out of all the talent on display, these six prospects rose above the rest</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["254550"],"_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-689be580e73ac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='254550' first='Ethan' last='Royal'] — QB, Hough (Class of 2027)</strong><br>Royal commanded the game from start to finish, playing with a steady rhythm and confidence well beyond his years. He flashed his athleticism on several runs and delivered every pass on time and in stride. Among all quarterbacks at the Jamboree, his performance stood out as the clear best.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1600396"],"_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-689be580e740c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1600396' first='Kenyan' last='Stewart'] — EDGE, Butler (Class of 2026)</strong><br>Stewart was a constant presence in the backfield, wreaking havoc from the opening whistle. At 6'4” and over 250 pounds, he combines size with an impressive motor. His skill set projects well as either a polished edge rusher or, with added bulk, an interior defensive force at the next level. Stewart's three sacks made him the most dominant defensive player at the Jamboree.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1262278"],"_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-689be580e7453"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1262278' first='Lincoln' last='Wise'] — RB, Palisades (Class of 2026)</strong><br>Wise runs with strength and patience, consistently making defenders work to bring him down. The first tackler almost never got him to the ground alone. He capped off his strong performance with a 60-yard touchdown, showing he's not just tough between the tackles but also has the speed to finish.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["525514"],"_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-689be580e7494"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='525514' first='Cole' last='Hough'] — QB, Palisades (Class of 2027)</strong><br>Hough showed resilience under pressure, leading his team to victory despite facing multiple setbacks. He absorbed several sacks and even had a touchdown called back, yet maintained his composure and continued to drive the offense down the field.

Defensively, he broke up several passes and delivered bone-jarring hits. On offense, he proved to be one of the Lions' most reliable receiving threats, making tough catches underneath and hauling in a long pass to move the chains.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1321100"],"_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-689be580e750f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1321100' first='Rakim' last='Finch'] | TE/WR | West Charlotte | c/o '26 – I just wrote about Finch last week, and seeing him in person did not disappoint. His first touchdown came on a tipped pass that he secured before outrunning the defense. The second was classic red-zone dominance—he boxed out the defender on a jump ball and hauled it in for six.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
