<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I take an in-depth look into the key players of a loaded Milford Mill squad looking to make a deep playoff run this season. Lead by a strong senior group, one of the best DB rooms in the state, and an offense with plenty of weapons/playmakers, MMA will be once again a tough team to take down in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["323545"],"_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-68c40e4f7314b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The top rated RB in the 2026 class for the MD Rankings looks to be a driving force for Milford this season. A slapped together back who is a great combination of speed &amp; power. Damon racked up over 1,300 rushing yards and 16 TDs last season and there is no reason to expect anything different this year. Milford Mill will be learning on Damon to carry the offensive load and be a big time playmaker for them which I see no reason why he won't live up to that. The Pitt commit is easily one of the top players in the area to watch this fall and can lead MMA far in the playoffs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Through tough evaluation, consideration, input from my parents, and prayer I have decided to commit to <a href="https://twitter.com/Pitt_FB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Pitt_FB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/LindseyLamar5?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@LindseyLamar5</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Kb1Raw?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Kb1Raw</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachDuzzPittFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachDuzzPittFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/WearemilfordFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WearemilfordFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_bjones44?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_bjones44</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_Trog?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_Trog</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/ReggieWhite90?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ReggieWhite90</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_bjones44?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_bjones44</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Peeps_a_fool?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Peeps_a_fool</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_jayjay?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_jayjay</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/coachtae_7?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@coachtae_7</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/rjackso10?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@rjackso10</a> <a href="https://t.co/G5675zvpPx">pic.twitter.com/G5675zvpPx</a></p>&mdash; Damon “Nuddle” Ferguson (@roll5damon) <a href="https://twitter.com/roll5damon/status/1932030133189144878?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 9, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["623123"],"_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-68c40e4f731bb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Koby leads a very talented and deep DB group for Milford. The NC State commit is a rocked up big body player who offers lots of versatility as a player. He can line up at CB, Safety, physical in the box player and could even see him growing into a hybrid SS/OLB at the next level. Koby has been a key player at MMA since his freshman year and is a leader for their defense. Look for him to be a key contributor a defenders offenses always need to be aware of on the field.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">1,000% committed <a href="https://twitter.com/ReggieWhite90?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ReggieWhite90</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_bjones44?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_bjones44</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Peeps_a_fool?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Peeps_a_fool</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/NCAA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NCAA</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachEliot?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachEliot</a> <a href="https://t.co/Gj9a0nJy6d">pic.twitter.com/Gj9a0nJy6d</a></p>&mdash; Koby sarkodie (@kobysarkodie_) <a href="https://twitter.com/kobysarkodie_/status/1886602290536005937?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 4, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["272352"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1882863,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68c40e4f7322e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">TJ is another big piece to MMA dominate defensive backfield. A tall, long, physical player who will lay the wood on receivers. TJ also offers positional versatility, mainly playing CB but can also play the role of either safety especially in a 2 deep. A strong tackler, TJ has no problem playing up close at the LOS and can also be a ball hawk in coverage. A tough match-up for any WR that will go up against Milford this year. TJ makes in presence felt in that premier defensive backfield MMA puts out on the field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">After a Great Conversation with <a href="https://twitter.com/lem_adams?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@lem_adams</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachKenion?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachKenion</a> and an amazing official visit I am 100% committed to <a href="https://twitter.com/SacHornetsFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SacHornetsFB</a> 🐝🐝<a href="https://twitter.com/BrennanMarion4?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@brennanmarion4</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/marcuspatton4?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@marcuspatton4</a><a href="https://twitter.com/CJPollard1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CJPollard1</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_bjones44?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_bjones44</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Peeps_a_fool?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Peeps_a_fool</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/ReggieWhite90?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ReggieWhite90</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Rivals?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Rivals</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/adamgorney?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@adamgorney</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/RivalsFriedman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RivalsFriedman</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/MohrRecruiting?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MohrRecruiting</a> <a href="https://t.co/ripuLOJHhv">pic.twitter.com/ripuLOJHhv</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='272352' first='TJ' last='Turner'] 3⭐️ DB (@thetjturner) <a href="https://twitter.com/thetjturner/status/1936957995247706229?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 23, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1314872"],"_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-68c40e4f73282"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The recent Wofford commit is another valuable member of the MMA DB group. A true CB, Ky'ree is a lockdown man coverage player who has a nose for the ball when it's in the air. Able to play press or off coverage, with great reaction time and the ability to quickly break on the ball. A ball hawk who will get your PBUs &amp; INT's. Ky'ree comes over to Milford by way of St. Frances and looks to be a key addition and makes that MMA defense even scarier this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Commited‼️ <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GoTerriers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#GoTerriers</a>🐶 <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachNapoleon?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachNapoleon</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/WatsonShawn1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WatsonShawn1</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/RivalsFriedman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RivalsFriedman</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/ChadSimmons_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ChadSimmons_</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/EdOBrienCFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@EdOBrienCFB</a> <a href="https://t.co/pe1yiEccje">pic.twitter.com/pe1yiEccje</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='348427' first='Ky'ree' last='Murphy'] (@kyreemurphy26) <a href="https://twitter.com/kyreemurphy26/status/1961218651987873979?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 29, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1089264"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1882867,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68c40e4f732e3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coming to MMA by way of Dundalk HS, Micah is a QB I have seen a lot over the years and is a big addition to lead this offense. Passing for over 1,300 yards last season for 16 TDs and adding 6 more scores on the ground, he is a dual threat QB that fits well into this offense. With a strong run game to lean on and plenty of weapons to get the ball too, expect Micah to have an efficient and productive season. A wonderful deep ball thrower as well, he will push the ball vertically and run the play action game to great success. Micah's game translates well to what MMA does and that will lead to a lot of wins for the squad this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Thank you <a href="https://twitter.com/NPCoachZim?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NPCoachZim</a> for a great day at National Prep <a href="https://t.co/lTxID8tIo5">pic.twitter.com/lTxID8tIo5</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1089264' first='Micah' last='Williams'] (@WilliamsMicah_) <a href="https://twitter.com/WilliamsMicah_/status/1923848027657175169?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 17, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1611701"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1882872,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68c40e4f7333f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An imposing force from the IDL spot, Da'rell racked up an impressive 14 TFL's and 5.5 sacks last season. Able to play in a gap scheme or heads up on the center in an odd front, he is a problem from the interior. Da'Rell gets good power from his hips, able to collapse the pocket and disrupt. He can also take on blockers and penetrate to stop the run. You also see him be able to get skinny, shoot the gap, and chase down ball carriers. A strong DT with good feet, Da'Rell is play wrecker that helps the Milford defense perform to the high level it does. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">first scrimmage of my senior year 🛝 <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_bjones44?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_bjones44</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Peeps_a_fool?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Peeps_a_fool</a> <a href="https://t.co/tO21KXnygJ">https://t.co/tO21KXnygJ</a> <a href="https://t.co/H3PojutVQW">pic.twitter.com/H3PojutVQW</a></p>&mdash; Da'Rell Mercer (@Rellcbfw_) <a href="https://twitter.com/Rellcbfw_/status/1959362786233819436?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 23, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1611603"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1882876,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68c40e4f7339c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A speedy and twitchy WR, Amauri is a big play target, playmaking, and TD machine. Running a verified 4.5 forty at the National Preps Spring Showcase, he displayed the true speed, burst, and acceleration that allows him to be the player he is. A versatile receiver, Amauri can play out wide, in the slot and is effective in the quick game/gadget plays. He has quick feet and wiggle in his hips that allows him to be a strong route runner and a playmaker after the catch. Making sharp cuts, able to stem his routes, and stop/start with no loss of momentum. I expect Amauri to have a big senior campaign and be a favorite target of Micah this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Preseason scrimmage ball is now over.

He can make plaus out of the backfield as a runner, an effective WR, and can see him being used in some trick plays for Milford with his versatility. With a well built frame and nice explosiveness to go along with his overall athleticism, Owen can be a player capable of carrying the ball multiple times as well as getting downfield for big pass plays. A "Deebo Samuel" type player, expect Owen to play a huge part in the MMA offense this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">ATH!!! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NPS?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NPS</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_bjones44?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_bjones44</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/WearemilfordFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WearemilfordFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/rjackso10?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@rjackso10</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_Trog?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_Trog</a> <br>1 rushing TD<br>1 Passing TD <br>1 Receiving TD <a href="https://t.co/qWCfgCo7qh">pic.twitter.com/qWCfgCo7qh</a></p>&mdash; Owen &#039;Oshow&#039; Newberns (@ONewberns) <a href="https://twitter.com/ONewberns/status/1962225358091981045?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 31, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1697879"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1883947,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68c40e4f7352c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another member of the impressive defensive backfield for Milford Mill, Kevin is versatile DB for them able to play CB or S. He has shown to be a man-to-man lock down corner as well as an over the top S. Athletic, physical, and nice length for his frame, Kevin is a very effective cover man. He can stay in-phase with receivers as a corner, stay in their pocket, and use his length to get PBUs. At safety he shows the ability to roam the middle and either be a centerfield ball hawk or come down and be an effective tackler. A do it all DB, Kevin offers versatility and playmaking ability in coverage &amp; run support. A high IQ player as well he reads plays well and makes good play decisions quickly. Look for Kevin to have a lot of key plays for MMA this year and see plenty more interest from colleges after his senior year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">JUNIOR YEAR FILM ⬇️<a href="https://t.co/VLcoP9uRRA">https://t.co/VLcoP9uRRA</a><a href="https://twitter.com/TheBrandLSA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TheBrandLSA</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_Coates32?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_Coates32</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_bjones44?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_bjones44</a> <a href="https://t.co/34vUB7TdaJ">pic.twitter.com/34vUB7TdaJ</a></p>&mdash; Kevin Gilbert (@yeahhdatkev) <a href="https://twitter.com/yeahhdatkev/status/1862975011134357787?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 30, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1882847"],"_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-68c40e4f73438"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coming over from Concordia Prep, Grant adds another piece to the dominate Milford D. He will be a key player along the DL as and Edge/DE player. Grant offers some versatility along the DL, able to play as a stand up edge backer or put his hand in the dirt at DE. A good combo or power and speed. Grant can take on blockers &amp; set the edge as well as come with burst and be a valuable pass rusher. Paired up with Da'Rell, look for these two to cause problems for the OL's they face.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1644757"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1882884,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68c40e4f73493"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another weapon for the Milford offense, look for Dejuan to make strides in his sophomore season. A quick, shifty, slashing RB he is a bit of a change of pace style to Damon's power/speed wear the defense down running style. Dejuan is nimble on his feet, able to find the alley and dance his way into open space. With the speed to get to the edge and race down the sideline he is another home run threat for this offense. I can see Dejuan being used in the screen game and as an effective out of the backfield as well. Dejuan is another offensive weapon defensive have to worry about for this MMA squad and he could have some impactful plays &amp; big games for them this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">First scrimmage to start off my sophomore year <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NPS?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NPS</a> <a href="https://t.co/yUPAu3hDhR">pic.twitter.com/yUPAu3hDhR</a></p>&mdash; Dejuan nelson (@dejuannelson9) <a href="https://twitter.com/dejuannelson9/status/1959699820127699196?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 24, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1882855"],"_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-68c40e4f734e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Marques is another underclassmen looking to make his name this season. A big, tall, long WR he offers Micah and this offense the downfield, red-zone, big X target they need. He is a willing and effective blocker at WR as well. Using his size and strength to help out those MMA RBs once they get into the open field. Marques should also be a contributor on the defensive side. He plays as an edge/ off ball OLB. Marques plays fast and physical at that spot. He sees ball, gets ball, and fires off closing quickly and tackling through the ball carrier. Expect Marques to have an increased role on both sides of the ball for Milford this season and become and key player for them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">It's almost dat time <a href="https://t.co/5eGnxWgQa0">pic.twitter.com/5eGnxWgQa0</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1882855' first='Marques' last='Harris'] (@0fficialques1) <a href="https://twitter.com/0fficialques1/status/1922299948508262655?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 13, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

I take an in-depth look into the key players of a loaded Milford Mill squad looking to make a deep playoff run this season. Lead by a strong senior group, one of the best DB rooms in the state, and an offense with plenty of weapons/playmakers, MMA will be once again a tough team to take down in the state.
