He made his 3rd start of the season on Friday throwing for 307 yards and 5 TDs in a 50-3 win over Newton. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smith carries himself well in the pocket and has a rocket arm with a quick delivery. A quick decision maker that can thread the needle with a bullet pass and the accuracy and arm strength to get the ball deep. Since this profile update has grown to 5'11 and about 15 pounds of muscle. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Projection: D1 </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1576060"],"_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-68db08a06e4fd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">"Deuce" as he likes to be called, had 356 total yards on Friday v rival and one of the best 5A teams in the State, Lee County. The Wake Forest commit rushed for over 200 yards and had 54 yards receiving, scoring 2 TDs in the 35-21 win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A physical runner between the tackles with great top end speed. I saw him live last Fall and was impressed with his shiftiness and ability to change direction at full speed. He has great vision and escape ability in traffic. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Projection: Headed to Wake Forest next Fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1866705"],"_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-68db08a06e547"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 6'1 185 Senior WR has flown under the radar. He had an outstanding game Friday night v #4 Benedictine. Rice had 82 yards receiving, 17 yards rushing and added a 92-yd kickoff return giving him 3 TDs on the night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He has been a productive option at WR in a rush heavy offense. A long lean frame that uses his athleticism to make grabs over smaller defenders. Rice has scored 4 TDs on just 25 catches and is averaging close to 20 yards per reception. A diamond in rough in the South Georgia Area that has seen his stock rise in '25. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Projection: NAIA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1588905"],"_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-68db08a06e58b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 2nd Week in a row the Sophomore RB has made our list. The 5'10 180 RB/S rushed for 235 yards with 3 TDs in a 55-9 win over Woodland. Charles has had a breakout Soph season and has solidified himself as one of the top RB prospects in NWGA in the '28 Class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A fearless runner between the tackles with good vision. Charles explodes thru the hole and has good top end speed. A physical kid that is hard to bring down with initial contact. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Projection: Charles has had multiple 100 yard games and seems to be finding his stride with the #10 ranked Colonels. We look for him to get a lot of attention this off-season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1584772"],"_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-68db08a06e5cc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">You can't mention the best performances this Week without mentioning Cummings. The Georgia Southern commit rushed a State record 615 yards on just 19 carries and scored 8 TDs in a 70-55 win over Baldwin. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fire up the tape, this kid is a baller. He is averaging close to 15 yards per carry on the season. Explosive speed with an unbelievable ability to change direction on contact. Several clips where he gets hit, spins, and comes out full speed. He plays with a lot of energy and passion. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Projection: Headed to Georgia Southern next Fall</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401563"],"_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-68db08a06e60c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Auburn baseball commit proves week in and week out that he can get it done on the gridiron as well. The 6'4 Senior WR had a season high 5 catches for 114 yards and 2 TDs as #4 Morgan Co beat Westside Macon 56-14. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tillery is the homerun deep ball threat for the Bulldogs. He has 4 TDs on just 16 receptions with most 30+ yard scoring strikes. He does a good job using his height to go up and over smaller receivers at the back of the endzone. Not only does he have a height advantage but the young man can fly. He was timed at 4.4 in the 40 at several camps last Summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Projection: Headed to Auburn to play baseball. Could he get the itch to put on the pads for the Tigers?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
