<p><strong>FORT MILL</strong> | There was no shortage of talent to go around on the offensive side of the ball on Sunday at Fort Mill at the Winter leg of the Prep Redzone Stock Up Showcase. We spent some time looking at the offensive skill during the individual period. Here's a look at what we saw.</p>

<p><strong>QUARTERBACKS</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1970953' first='Tayvion' last='Williams'] </strong>from Asheville impressed us with his ability to step and throw and hit his target well. We liked the footwork in the individual period from Gray Collegiate's <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1623307' first='Xavier' last='Wright'] </strong>and he did a nice job with the velocity on his throws. He had a good ball on a deep route and gave the receiver a chance to make a reception during the competitive period.</p>

<p>Union Pines's <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1690456' first='Vida' last='Blue'], </strong>who walked away with MVP honors for his performance, had a nice velocity on his throws and has a good release when the ball comes out of his hands. He threw an excellent corner route during the competitive period for a completion. Hough's <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1702706' first='Kaiden' last='Spears'] </strong>made a nice throw out to his right and connected with his target during the individual period.</p>

<p><strong>WIDE RECEIVERS</strong></p>

<p>When we got a chance to see some of the wide receivers in the competitive period, it was fun to watch. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1824191' first='Amari' last='Green'] </strong>from Wilson (pictured above), who walked away with MVP honors from the session, is a receiver who can be counted on to get up field to get yards. He has sure hands and runs his routes at full speed. He has good size and speed for the position and will be fun to watch as we head into the 2026 season.</p>

<p><strong>Liam Gray </strong>from Knoxville Catholic (TN) did a good job of high pointing the ball to make the catch. Camden tight end <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1302875' first='Will' last='Haunert'] </strong>showed soft hands to make the catch right up the pike. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1613170' first='Chase' last='Sciranko'] </strong>from Northwest Cabarrus showed nice velocity on a throw to <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2003796' first='Kasen' last='Holloway'] </strong>from Blythewood on a post for a completion. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1938780' first='Caden' last='Hunter'] </strong>from Mountain View Prep ran his routes at full speed and made a good catch right up the seam. </p>

<p><strong>Frank Mancini </strong>from Knoxville Catholic made a quick throw on a slant that if you would've blinked, you would've missed it but <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1607433' first='Landon' last='Guyton'] </strong>did a nice job of high pointing the ball.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2066752' first='Jack' last='Hughes'] </strong>from Wren made a diving catch and showed great concentration near the sideline on one reception. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='366302' first='Tristian' last='Turner'] </strong>from Northern Guilford made an unbelievable catch with a defender draped all over him.</p>

<p><strong>RUNNING BACKS</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1579223' first='Tyler' last='Nelson'] </strong>from Marion carried the ball high and tight on the way to making his cut during an individual drill. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1718245' first='Dorvensky' last='Reichley'] </strong>from St. John's Christian Academy made a nice jump cut with a good burst of speed to boot as well. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mountain View Prep's <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='865974' first='Jemo' last='Stinson'] </strong>showed good power with his run and took care of the ball. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2069899' first='Aiden' last='O'Hara'] </strong>from Fort Mill showed excellent footwork along with a good burst of speed in the individual period as well.<br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1603902' first='Angelo' last='Rios'] </strong>from Westwood did a great job of making his man miss in the hole. </p>
