<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coach Robinson and his Northwest Whitfield Bruins are set for another successful season following what will likely be a tough, but rewarding, spring and summer camp. There are many returning stars for this next season, all of whom will be ready for the spotlight. Here are five players ready for the moment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1922587"],"_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-69a24bc9dcf85"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mitchell has been one of the better players when it comes to the Northwest Whitfield roster. He was a great player on the offensive side of the football and will only get better when it comes to the route-running aspect of his game. He will also only get better in the YAC, which is something that he has done well. He is a vertical threat with a ton of talent, as he has solidified himself as a top player in the northern part of the state in that aspect of the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1870257"],"_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-69a24bc9dd048"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If you have kept up with my articles even in the slightest, you know that one player I will go to bat for 24/7 is [player_tooltip player_id='1870257' first='Kyle' last='Cummings']. Cummings is a solid wide receiver and a great defensive back with the ability to become even better with great college coaching. Cummings has a great vertical and decently long arms, which is something he utilizes to the fullest. Cummings also has a knack for bringing 50/50 balls in regardless of which side of the ball he is on. Cummings will be a college athlete; it is just a matter of where.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2079560"],"_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-69a24bc9dd0df"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Villafuerte wasn't the premier back for the Northwest program, but he is now expected to be, as he slides up the depth chart. He has a mixture of key traits, but he will be a back that remains a terror when it comes to trying to tackle him. His lower body strength is improving tremendously, and it is something that has started to be noticed. He will have many more reps this season, which will lead to a bigger workload and a much larger production rate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2141060"],"_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-69a24bc9dd171"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Davidson is entering a crucial season with the Northwest Whitfield Bruins, as he is likely going to be one of the three starters at the wide receiver positions. He has done a great job in the limited reps he has received, and he will only improve over time, which is s adangerous thought. He will have a new QB throwing to him, but so will the other guys on the offense. He will be one of the better players on this roster this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2141062"],"_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-69a24bc9dd200"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Browning had very few reps last season, but he did a good job when it came to the reps that he did see in varsity action. He finished with a total of three completions, but for 50 yards. He was one of the backups to [player_tooltip player_id='1163339' first='Gavin' last='Nuckolls'] and will be competing for the starting gig this season. Browning is a very talented prospect and has a lot to like. The Bruins have been one of the many teams to use a young quarterback, and it has turned out to be successful. They did this with Nuckolls, and they also did this with Owen Brooker. Next, it looks like it could be Browning.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Coach Robinson and his Northwest Whitfield Bruins are set for another successful season following what will likely be a tough, but rewarding, spring and summer camp. There are many returning stars for this next season, all of whom will be ready for the spotlight. Here are five players ready for the moment.
