As always, check out these prospects' film below! You won't want to miss out on this group.   Let's dive in:   <h1 class="wp-block-heading">OFFENSE</h1>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">BAKER</h2>    [player_tooltip player_id='1801733' first='Tate' last='Graham'] is a talented junior QB who's in the middle of an impressive breakout season this fall.   “At 6'5 225, Graham has the prototypical build for the QB position. He has great size, impressive arm talent, and a clear understanding of what he needs to do with the ball. He's quick to scan the field, gets the ball out fast, and is great at selling play action to create huge opportunities downfield.   I can't lie, Graham has one of the best deep balls I've seen recently. He has terrific arm strength and ball placement that he uses to drop dimes over the tops of defenses for massive plays. I'm seriously impressed with how he hits his WRs in stride. Even if they're covered, he'll put the ball only where his guys can make a play on it. Graham should be on everyone's radar this fall- I'm not kidding."   Graham has been unbelievable this season. Baker's passing attack has taken a massive step this year with him at the helm. Make sure you check out some of his flim below:      [player_tooltip player_id='1850682' first='Jailen' last='Wheeler'] is an explosive RB out of Baker that's been unbelievable this season.   “I'm really impressed with Wheeler's skill set. He's electric with the ball in his hands and can create huge plays on the ground and through the air by using his explosive speed and quickness. In addition to his speed, Wheeler also has terrific balance. He can easily change his direction, make defenders miss, and stay on his feet no matter who is in front of him- it's seriously impressive to watch.“   Throughout this season, Wheeler has been a huge difference-maker on the ground. He's such a versatile playmaker out of the backfield. Vigor will have to watch out for him this week.     <h2 class="wp-block-heading">VIGOR</h2>    [player_tooltip player_id='1603640' first='Sammy' last='Dunn'] is one of the top passers in the state and has been incredible for Vigor this season.   “Dunn is an excellent decision-maker who thrives under pressure. He's quick to scan the field, makes good reads, takes care of the ball, and can deliver some beautiful throws on the run.   Dunn has some impressive arm talent- he places a lot of touch underneath his passes and can accurately deliver the ball all over the field, whether it be along the sideline, over the top, or across the middle.”   Vigor has benefited a ton from Dunn's passing. He's efficient, accurate, and can make any throw on the field. Everyone should watch out for him this week.      [player_tooltip player_id='1988173' first='Dylan' last='Jackson'] is a talented ATH from Vigor who's made a huge impact on his team's passing attack this year.   "At 5'8 170, Jackson has the speed and quickness to make some impressive plays out wide. He's quick out of his releases, runs great routes, and finds separation all over the field. It's really tough for DBs to stay with him; he's always getting open.   Jackson also has a great set of hands and some serious skills after the catch. He can secure some tough-to-catch passes through coverage and contact, and has the speed, elusiveness, and change of direction to turn upfield for huge gains."   Baker will have their hands full trying to slow down Jackson. He's a threat outside that they'll have to account for. Make sure you check out some of Jackson's clips below. You'll be impressed:     <h1 class="wp-block-heading">DEFENSE</h1>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">BAKER</h2>    [player_tooltip player_id='1880424' first='Myles' last='Johnson'] is a talented DB who's strung together some dominant performances this season.   "Johnson is an intelligent player who finds ways to make an impact, whether he's on defense or special teams. He has great instincts, is quick to find the ball, and can make some impressive open-field tackles to eliminate huge plays.   In coverage, Johnson has impressive timing and a reliable set of hands he uses to fly around and break up passes. He's a well-rounded defender teams will have to watch out for in multiple phases of the game."   Johnson has been a lockdown DB for Baker this season. Vigor's passing game will have to avoid him; he can make game-changing plays at any given moment.      [player_tooltip player_id='1880427' first='Alex' last='Hawthorne'] is a talented LB who has been flying around and making stops for Baker's defense.   "I'm seriously impressed with Hawthorne's run defense. He's quick on his feet, gets downhill fast, and can deliver some huge hits behind or just past the line of scrimmage to create stops.   Hawthorne is a really talented tackler. He takes great angles to get to the ball carrier, gets low, wraps up, and doesn't allow for any additional yardage after he makes contact. I'm excited to see how he'll perform down the stretch of this season."   I've been seriously impressed with Hawthorne's play this season. He's been incredibly reliable and can come up with stops against the run and pass. Vigor will have to watch out for him this week.     <h2 class="wp-block-heading">VIGOR</h2>    [player_tooltip player_id='1189059' first='Jabarrius' last='Garror'] is an every-down threat off the edge for Vigor's defense and will have to be on Baker's radar this week.   “Garror is extremely athletic coming off the edge- he has an explosive first step,  quick/aggressive hands, and plays with an elite combination of size, speed, and pursuit that makes him a game-wrecker every down. It doesn't matter what opposing offenses attempt to run; Garror has the natural ability to quickly diagnose and blow up plays.   Garror is a special pass rusher. He completely wrecks the line of scrimmage every snap and flies into the backfield to generate tons of pressure and sacks."   I've been a huge fan of Garror's. He can impact the game in so many ways and will be a massive factor in this week's matchup. Make sure you watch some of his clips below:      [player_tooltip player_id='1635119' first='Miguel' last='Wilson'] is a lockdown DB who's having an incredible year in Vigor's secondary this season.   “Wilson is incredibly versatile and can make plays in a wide variety of ways as a DB- whether it be out in coverage, against the run, or as a blitzer. Wilson finds ways to impact every snap out in the secondary. Quarterbacks should think twice about throwing his direction, he's a really talented coverage corner with terrific hands and ball skills he uses to jar and pick off passes around the field.   I'm most impressed with Wilson's physicality- he is terrific man-to-man and has no problem flying downfield to deliver huge hits to the ballcarrier, frequently coming up with plays behind the line of scrimmage.“   Wilson demands opposing offenses' attention every single snap. Baker should look elsewhere when throwing the ball; he can make game-changing plays anytime the ball is near him. Make sure you watch some of his clips:
