<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What a week!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today, we're watching some of our Standout Performers on the offensive side of the ball. These prospects dominated this week and have been putting together some impressive seasons- we're all going to have to watch out for them moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With that being said, make sure you watch their film below!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1312368"],"_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-68cc2c888d5be"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1312368' first='Kylen' last='Boman'] is a talented WR/ATH from Spanish Fort in the middle of a breakout sophomore season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>“<em>Offensively, Boman is an impressive WR with an already well-rounded skill set. He has great size, strong hands, and an impressive catch radius he uses to haul in tough-to-catch passes over the tops of defenders, in contested situations, and in the red zone. Boman is a tough WR to cover- he's 6'2 180, plays with a lot of speed outside, and can wear down DBs in the secondary with his athleticism.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Boman brings the same level of impact to the defensive side of the ball. He's a talented DB who excels at stopping the run. I'm really impressed with Boman's pursuit skills and ability to wrap up and stop the ball carrier down by the line of scrimmage- he covers a lot of ground and can make some impressive hustle plays.</em>“</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In his team's 43-0 shutout over Murphy, Boman hauled in 3 receptions for 81 yards and one TD. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm excited to keep watching Boman. He's a really talented 2028 who's only just getting started.
