He has great speed and acceleration, can make quick cuts/turns, and is a master at getting separation downfield. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Kirksey is also terrific at catching the ball. He has a great catch radius, impressive hands, and is fantastic at tracking the ball through the air, making highlight reel catches on a routine basis."</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Watch some of Kirksey's tape below, you'll be impressed. It's a shame he'll be heading off to the next level soon, he's a really fun player to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17754014/68c6a9c5b470a5e73ac8a745' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68e5ee22abbac"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1939539"],"_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-68e5ee22abc00"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1939539' first='Xander' last='McClure'] is a lockdown DB for Spain Park's secondary who really impressed us this week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"<em>McClure is an intelligent defender who flies around the field to create stops both against the run and pass. He's quick, instinctual, and is always near the ball. I'm impressed with how physical he is against the run; he consistently fights off blockers to deliver some huge hits to the ball carrier. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>In coverage, McClure is just as impressive. He's patient, quick to react, and frequently flies in to break up/intercept passes from the hands of receivers. I'm really impressed with McClure; we'll have to watch him down the stretch of the season.</em>"</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McClure has made a huge impact on his team's defense over the last few years.

He currently stands at 6'4 220, and has the physical traits and talents of someone much older than him. You can already tell he's super athletic- he has great strength/power, impressive leverage, and can move DL several yards off the line of scrimmage. We'll all have to look out for him moving forward.</em>"</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Abrams has loads of potential and will likely be a staple of Moody's freshman class.

He's quick, instinctual, and has the athleticism to make plays all over the field. I love watching him in coverage. He can completely take WRs out of games, locking them up and breaking up anything thrown his direction.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Hall also provides a ton of value as a returner. He has great field vision and dominant speed he uses to find lanes and take the ball upfield for huge gains, constantly putting his team in great starting field position. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Make sure you check out some of King's tape below.
