The junior running back was electric, finishing with over 200 total yards and three touchdowns, including the overtime game-winner against district foe North Forney. He displayed vision, balance, and versatility as both a runner and receiver.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zahm is emerging as one of the most complete junior backs in North Texas, a player who can run inside, bounce outside, and make plays in the passing game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1896648"],"_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-68ed2be1f3f75"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rockwall-Heath's offense runs through Neal, and in Week 8, he looked the part of a seasoned leader. The junior quarterback was nearly flawless, racking up 322 total yards and five touchdowns while distributing the football with confidence and precision. Neal continues to show strong command of the offense, good pocket movement, and the arm talent to attack all levels of the field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Productive, polished, and still developing physically, Neal is trending up as one of the more efficient passers in the 2027 class in the Metroplex.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1953551"],"_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-68ed2be1f40be"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kennedy has become a human highlight reel for Anna. He had three catches for 169 yards and three scores in week 7. Over his last two games, he's totaled 8 receptions for 332 yards and 4 touchdowns. Kennedy's explosive speed and ability to separate downfield make him a constant big-play threat every time he touches the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1645157"],"_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-68ed2be1f415c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The senior signal-caller continues to be a steady hand for the Raiders. Henigan threw for over 200 yards and three touchdowns, leading Ryan to a hard-fought win over a scrappy Richland squad.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He is a composed quarterback who thrives in situational football.

He completed 30 passes, a new school record, passing for 401 yards and five touchdowns. That type of production as a junior puts him firmly on the radar as a prospect to get eyes on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1953959"],"_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-68ed8f6300157"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Few players in the DFW area have been as versatile as Gebhardt. After starting the season at receiver and running back, the 2026 athlete made the switch to quarterback&nbsp; and immediately delivered. He gashed Timberview in Week 7 for 214 rushing yards and added 52 through the air, guiding Summit to a crucial district win. His speed, vision, and ability to make defenders miss in space make him one of the most dangerous weapons in 5A DII.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He is a dynamic, multi-positional athlete who could project as a slot receiver at the next level.

His poise and leadership have been key to Heritage's offensive success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>&nbsp;Already locked in with UTEP, Weaver's steady play and athleticism reaffirm why the Miners landed an underrated but high-upside quarterback.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
