<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One thing about the Peach State is that you will see a ton of talent from top to bottom in each of the middle school classes. The talent is endless, and you could cover them in 100 parts. However, we will not do that many, but we will spotlight a nice group of must-see, eye-popping talent!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1609585"],"_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-692e52a003497"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the best athletes not just in Georgia but in that mix with other States across the Country as well. Steen has the ability to make plays any and everywhere on the gridiron. He has a natural ability to make plays, and he is a high IQ guy too. He is a special talent to watch for sure, and I encourage anyone who reads this to keep up with him because you will know his name if you do not already. Steen will be heard for years to come!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1692474"],"_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-692e52a003502"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the absolute best in all of the 2030 class in my humble opinion. Benton has all of the skills, hardworking attributes and mentality to be one of those guys and how do I know this? Because I see the hard work and the results that follow. He is a special high IQ player who puts in his all into what he does and what he does is absolutely special! He is a must follow! You will hear his name for a long, long time!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1303986"],"_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-692e52a00354d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1303986' first='Phillip' last='Hines'] is a hard hitting, fast playing and high IQ linebacker that is one of the best defensive players in all of the 2030 class, not just Georgia. Hines is the real deal and has a nose for the linebacker position being able to stop the run, defend the pass and pass rush if need be. Hines has been the real deal and is only going to develop into even more of a real deal!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1303967"],"_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-692e52a003594"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Joshiah Stone is a top tier wide receiver in the 2030 class! Stone has the route running ability, the hands and the athletic ability and agility to get the ball and make plays with his feet. Stone is a problem for defenses once the ball is in his hands and he is certainly automatic. Stone is one special talent!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1646650"],"_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-692e52a0035da"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the best athletes in the Nation when it comes to the 2030 class is without a single doubt, [player_tooltip player_id='1646650' first='Austin' last='Burt'] is one of those talents that you see make one single play and you can tell that he is an automatic playmaker. He has the ability and skill set to make natural plays and big plays regardless of where he is lined up. He is special in this 2030 class! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
