<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 3 provided some great matchups around my coverage Area. We had some big wins, big upsets and some great individual performances last week. Below are a few of the names that caught my eye. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Joshua Hopkins","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"175","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Bowdon","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68b7286f985e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">How this fella has flown under the radar, even ours, is a mystery to me. I saw him in person Friday and was sold from the 2nd snap from scrimmage when he out ran the defense for a 80 yd TD. Hopkins finished the game with 336 Total yards, 213 passing and 120 rushing, with 5 TDs in a 48-7 win over Bremen. A great leader on the field with the speed and athleticism to play at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/Josh8Hopkins">Follow Joshua on X </a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1163339"],"_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-68b7286f98647"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another highly under rated QB from our coverage Area. Nuckolls continues to put up big numbers and Friday was no exception. He completed 17 of 27 passes for 253 yards and rushed 17 times for 213 yards with 5 total TDs in a 62-42 win over Dalton. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'0 170 Senior shows great poise and can make all the throws on the route tree with legs to hurt you.

He scored 2 TDs in Fridays 62-42 win over Dalton. One on a 99-yd KO return and the second was 72-yd pick 6. To go along with that he added 65 yards receiving, had 262 yards in returns and forced a fumble. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cummings has great speed and quickness and is a ball hawk in the secondary. An aggressive, physical hands on guy that loves contact. A new name for us here at PRZN but one we will add to our board.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Serjoe u0022Jo Jou0022 Jones","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"185","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Temple","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68b7286f98770"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 5'9 185 RB/LB rushed for 217 yards on 21 carries and scored 4 TDs in a 41-20 win over a tough Trion team. Jones is averaging close to 10 ypc on the year and finds himself among the Top 5 rushers in our coverage Area. His 11 total TDs also places him among the leaders in the W/NW Area. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Physical back that has great acceleration through the hole. Has 3 years of varsity experience and has the potential to be one the top RB prospects in the Area next Fall as a Senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Ja'darius Hinton","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"162","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Ridgeland","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68b7286f9880e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I saw Hinton's upside 1st hand this Summer at a padded camp. Good quickness, long arms and moved "smooth". The 5'10 WR/FS has turned into one of the top targets in '25, catching 18 passes for 364 yards with 6 TDs. He did a little of everything in Fridays 4 OT loss to Darlington. He had 180 receiving yards, scoring 3 TDs, threw an 8 yard TD pass, and scored on a 2 pt conversion. Hinton rarely leaves the field adding 8 TT on defense. A diamond in the rough. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/Jd1hinton">Follow Ja'Darius on X</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["860109"],"_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-68b7286f98859"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We have been familiar with Fries since he showed up at our PRZN combine in the dead of winter. Nobody works harder off the field and it shows as i refer to him as "baby hulk". His hard work showed on Friday in a 16-10 win over rival Heritage. He had a 47-yd TD run and returned a Int 50 yards for a score while adding a ton of tackles on defense. If you are looking for a guy that goes "Full Tilt" on and off the field then Fries is your guy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/haddonfries">Follow Haddon on X</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
