<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Prep Red Zone Stock Up Showcase took place in Chicagoland earlier today. Here are five standouts at the wide receiver position:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["974884"],"_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-69518b837b2ed"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"> <br>[player_tooltip player_id='974884' first='Gregory' last='Bess-Henning'] was the best wideout on the field who seemed to be the total package.  It is surprising to me that he does not have any offers yet.  At 6-foot-2, 177 with a big 75-inch wingspan, the Class of 2028 prospect is an X or Z at the next level.  He is tall and strong with a great size-speed combination. He was outstanding in every way, displays great ball skills and ability to high-point the ball and adjust low.  He displays good downfield speed, explosiveness and twitch and a good first step with soft hands to leap and snatch the ball out of the air. He has immense potential to grow and has tremendous upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1887922"],"_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-69518b837b39a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">All the wideouts seemed to stand out for different reasons.  For [player_tooltip player_id='1887922' first='David' last='Croom'], it was his skills as a route runner.  The Class of 2027 Plainfield High School wideout will likely make his money in the slot.  Croom does an excellent job of creating separation especially over the middle of the field.  For his high school team, Croom aligns as a running back and his change-of-direction and vision are top-shelf qualities that translate to the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1617798"],"_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-69518b837b41c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1617798' first='Jaquel' last='Edmonds'] was very crafty in creating separation and flashed being able to work on his own effectively over the middle of the field.  Edmonds, a Class of 2027 receiver for Carmel Catholic, displays great top-end juice and burst through the hole as a tailback.  Edmonds has great vision, patience to follow blocks and great change-of-direction.  He is very good at running between the tackles and has enough speed to turn the corner as an outside runner. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["887187"],"_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-69518b837b499"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='887187' first='Logan' last='Lennon'] really shined during one-on-ones, and flashed as many strengths as a receiver that he does as a tailback.  Lennon displays great adjustment to the ball, soft hands, and can really snatch the ball out of the air.  With his height and arm length, he has a big radius to high-point the ball with full extension.  A running back in high school, he has a proven track record of taking the ball to the house and knows how to score.  Great size-speed combo makes him a legitimate prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1715138"],"_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-69518b837b515"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1715138' first='Damani' last='Morris'] plays running back in high school but I like him more as a fit on the perimeter.  Morris has a good first step off the LOS and can be a crafty route runner in space.  Morris displayed great adjustment to the ball and is athletic enough to leap over defenders and make clutch catches.  His speed in space also lends itself to the WR position, as does his 6-foot-0, 165-pound frame.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
