Week 3 Notable Breakout Performances

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Theo Wilson | LB | 2027 | Armwood | @theowilson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wilson showed exactly why he's becoming a name to track. At 6-1, he covers ground quickly and closes in space like a defensive back. His anticipation stands out, and when he filled the run lanes, he did it with force. One of those defenders who always seems to be around the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1655458' first='Drew' last='Sapp'] | DE | 2027 | Lakeland | @SappDrew2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sapp's performance in the trenches couldn't be ignored. He used his hands well, won with leverage, and showed a motor that didn't slow down. Nearly three sacks on the night highlight what he can do, but the bigger takeaway is his ceiling—this is a defensive end who looks built for Saturdays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1368993' first='Li'Darious' last='Pryor'] | RB | Evans | @LidariousP</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pryor is a patient runner who wastes no movement. He pressed holes, found space, and finished runs with strength, showing why he projects as a reliable feature back. Evans leaned on him, and he answered every time his number was called.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jerry Thomas | WR | 2026 | Lakeland | @Showtime2swift</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thomas is quietly becoming one of the most difficult receivers to match up with in Polk County. At 6-3, he gives his QB a huge target and consistently wins in contested catch situations. He also showed the ability to stretch the field vertically, giving Lakeland's offense a real weapon outside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1407770' first='Jiah' last='Walls'] | LB | 2026 | Evans | @jiahwalls08</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Walls plays with a different gear. He was flying to the football, making stops in space, and delivering physical hits when the defense needed it most. Already committed to Sacramento State, but his motor and versatility might earn him more looks down the line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1612347' first='Jasper' last='Hebel'] | DE/TE | 2026 | Lakeland | @JHebel88</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This kid has transformed himself into one of the more gifted tight end prospects in the state. Has the natural physicality and blocking game and got to show off his catching and run after catch abilities with a nice TD to get the Naughts rolling on Friday night. One to watch as he progresses.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1581926' first='Ziggy' last='Riley'] | LB/ATH | Lakeland | Lakeland | @riley1_ziggy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Riley doesn't just play fast—he reacts faster than most players on the field. His burst to the ball and ability to slip blocks make him disruptive in all phases. Already pulling D1 interest, and it's easy to see why.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Charles Calhoun | RB/LB | 2027 | Auburndale | @4_wayyyzz</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Calhoun thrives on contact. He's a workhorse who sets the tone for his team with physicality and toughness, the kind of back coaches trust in any situation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Trey Sullivan | ATH | 2026 | Auburndale | @Deuce1726</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sullivan's presence jumps off the field. At 6-0, 220, he lined up in multiple roles and moved like someone 20 pounds lighter. Whether blocking, covering ground, or making plays with the ball, he looked the part of a true difference-maker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ah'Narri Cooper | RB | 2028 | Lakeland |&nbsp; @1wayNarri</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cooper might be young, but he doesn't play like it. Already holding a P5 offer, he ran with vision, quickness, and confidence beyond his years. He has the makings of Lakeland's next star back and is only scratching the surface.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
