Watching his film for the first time was fascinating, as his first clip is him making a pass that you just have to see to believe. He is a true athlete and is one of the more underrated prospects that I have stumbled across recently. I believe the future is bright for the Villa Rica prospect, and he is someone who will start to gain the attention of others soon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["492889"],"_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-699d288c6fdcb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='492889' first='Chris' last='Johnson'] is a solid linebacker who has found his way on the field more and more. He was solid during his most recent year, and he will get better in his final season with Cedartown. Johnson is a growing prospect who will look to make a name for himself, as he has done a great job of filling the gaps and hitting the player with the ball extremely hard. I am looking forward to seeing him play, as he is someone I want to see play live this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1158128"],"_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-699d288c6fe23"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Little is someone the Prep Redzone scouts have had the chance to see in person. He is a guy who has a lot of upside, and his height and weight allow him to be viewed in a great light. I believe he is due for a huge season, and I believe he has the chance to become a top player this season. He is someone who I believe is going to make a name for himself. This is his final chance to create a big splash, but that will be up to this system to show down the line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["942224"],"_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-699d288c6fe78"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='942224' first='Jaden' last='Nicolas'] is one of the better players, if not the best player, on this list. He plays like he is shot out of a cannon, as he is one of the more explosive players who has yet to be ranked by Prep Redzone. He is best used when he is playing nickel, along with playing safety on the defensive side of the football. He is dangerously skilled when it comes to hitting someone behind the line, as he is someone I think will have the chance to succeed in what will be a crucial season for him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["861542"],"_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-699d288c6fed5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='861542' first='Judd' last='Shoemaker'] is one of the better players for Prince Avenue, as he is someone who has proven himself to be a sure tackler in the state of Georgia. He continues to grow in the defensive back room and will be one of the better players in Georgia this season. He finished last season with 50 tackles, which is very impressive, along with the chance to become a top player in pass deflections. He finished with 8 this season, which is a huge step up, and that will only get better.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
