Griffin has a very strong arm which he uses to stretch the field in the deep passing game. He also has shown very impressive accuracy this season, fitting passes into tight windows where only his intended receivers can catch them. Griffin currently holds an offer from Pikeville and I expect more to come his way soon as he definitely has the talent to play quarterback at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1697795"],"_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-6903c8f8c6cca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1697795' first='Stone' last='Crowe'] took the reins as the starting quarterback for the high-powered Paducah Tilghman offense this season and has been very impressive. In nine games, Crowe has completed 163/256 passes for 2,393 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. Stone has shown impressive touch on his passes this season, showing the ability to place the ball in a spot where only his intended receiver can make a play. He has also shown the arm talent to lead his receivers down the field in the deep passing game. Crowe has also shown the ability to make plays with his legs when necessary, running the ball 45 times for 149 yards and five touchdowns this season. Stone currently holds an offer from Greenville and I wouldn't be surprised to see more come his way this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["283961"],"_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-6903ca0baab3f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">My third and final quarterback on my finalists lists is [player_tooltip player_id='283961' first='Colin' last='Daniels']. Daniels has had a tremendous senior year, completing 130/189 passes for 2,124 yards, 37 touchdowns, and only two interceptions. Colin throws a very impressive deep ball as he is able to use his arm strength to lead his receivers down the field so that they can create separation from opposing defensive backs and make catches in stride. He has also shown a great feel for pressure this season, showing the ability to maneuver in the pocket and escape when necessary while keeping his eyes down the field to find the open receiver. Colin has also carried the ball 35 times for 137 yards and three touchdowns this season. Daniels currently holds offers from Culver-Stockton, Muskingum, Clarke, and Capital, and I expect that list to continue to grow throughout the year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311186"],"_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-6903cae2cbdd2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1311186' first='Jayvian' last='Meaux'] has quickly burst onto the scene with a very impressive freshman year. Through nine games, Meaux leads his team in rushing with 173 carries for 1,425 yards and 25 touchdowns. Once Meaux hits the open field, he has shown the explosive burst of speed to run away from the defense on long runs. He is also very elusive, using quick cuts to make defenders miss with ease. Jayvian has also caught one touchdown pass this season. Meaux will be a top prospect in the state to keep an eye on as he continues to develop throughout his high school career. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1973733"],"_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-6903cc6f017b8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1973733' first='Kain' last='Patton'] is another ball carrier who has stood out in a big way this season. He is Prestonburg's leading rusher, carrying the ball 103 times for 1,424 yards and 20 touchdowns in eight games this season. Patton is a very strong runner, showing the ability to lower his shoulder and keep his legs driving through contact to break tackles with ease. He has also shown the ability to make defenders miss in the open field. Kain has also shown the ability to line up in the slot and pose as a major threat in the passing game this season, leading his team in receiving with 24 catches for 520 yards and five touchdowns. He has also made an impact on defense this season, recording 38 tackles, five tackles for loss, and a sack.

Brown is one of the top route runners in the state, using his quick release and breaks in his routes to create separation with ease. He has also shown the ability to use his speed to blow by opposing defensive backs with ease and pick up yards after the catch. Brown has also returned one punt and a kickoff for touchdowns this season. Ja'Hyde currently holds several Power 4 offers and I expect that list to continue to grow as he is a high-caliber wide receiver prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1200706"],"_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-6903d60adc0dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1200706' first='Tyler' last='Fryman'] is another receiver who has had a very impressive junior season. Through nine games, Fryman leads Beechwood in receiving with 37 catches for 829 yards and 14 touchdowns. They love to get him the ball in open space as he has the speed and elusiveness to turn short passes/screens into big gains at any given moment. He also has shown an impressive ability to create separation and the strong hands to bring in catches in traffic. Fryman has also carried the ball 16 times for 255 yards and three touchdowns, thrown one touchdown pass, and returned three punts for touchdowns this season. He has also played a role on defense this season, accounting for 26 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and one interception.
