<p><strong><em>Jayden McFadden – WR, East Lake High</em></strong><br><strong><em>Height/Weight: 5'7”, 155 lbs</em></strong><br><strong><em>Season Stats: 23 receptions for 370 yards (16.0 avg), 66 YAC, 3 TDs (9 GP)</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Scouting Report:</em></strong><br>McFadden is a quick, shifty receiver who thrives in space. He shows sharp change-of-direction ability and accelerates well after the catch, turning short completions into positive gains. His route tempo and ability to separate underneath make him a reliable option in the short-to-intermediate game.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Analysis:</em></strong><br>McFadden projects as a slot receiver who can create mismatches with quickness and agility. Adding strength will help him handle physical coverage, but his burst and YAC ability already give him value in spread concepts.</p>

<p><strong><em>Grahm Pitcock – WR/FS/ATH, Palm Harbor University High</em></strong><br><strong><em>Height/Weight: 6'2”, 185 lbs</em></strong><br><strong><em>Season Stats: 21 receptions for 363 yards (17.2 avg), 40 YAC, 3 TDs (11 GP). 3.92 GPA</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Scouting Report:</em></strong><br>Pitcock is a long, athletic playmaker with the versatility to impact the game on both sides of the ball. As a receiver, he stretches the field vertically and uses his frame well at the catch point. His body control and stride speed allow him to create separation downfield.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Analysis:</em></strong><br>Pitcock projects as a developmental outside receiver with strong upside due to his size and athletic profile. Continued refinement as a route runner will raise his ceiling, but his length, ball skills, and overall athleticism make him an intriguing prospect.</p>

<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2127327' first='Hershell' last='Reynolds'] – WR, Palm Beach Gardens High</em></strong><br><strong><em>Height/Weight: 6'4”, 180 lbs</em></strong><br><strong><em>Season Stats: 23 receptions for 360 yards (15.6 avg), 59 YAC, 4 TDs (12 GP)</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Scouting Report:</em></strong><br>Reynolds is a tall, rangy receiver who presents a consistent mismatch on the perimeter. He tracks the ball well downfield and uses his length to win contested catches. His stride allows him to eat up ground quickly on vertical routes.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Analysis:</em></strong><br>Reynolds projects as a boundary receiver with red-zone upside. As he continues to add strength and polish his route tree, his consistency will increase, but his size and catch radius already make him a valuable outside threat.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2090679' first='Dylan' last='Richardson'] – TE/DE, Tampa Catholic High</em></strong><br><strong><em>Height/Weight: 6'5”, 225 lbs</em></strong><br><strong><em>Season Stats: 32 receptions for 348 yards (10.8 avg), 37 YAC, 5 TDs (11 GP). 1st Team All-County, 1st Team All-Conference</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Scouting Report:</em></strong><br>Richardson is a big-bodied, physical tight end with strong hands and the ability to move the chains. He uses his size effectively to shield defenders and shows toughness working across the middle. His defensive background adds to his physical edge and competitiveness.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Analysis:</em></strong><br>Richardson projects as a versatile tight end who can contribute as both a receiver and in-line presence. Continued development in route precision and explosiveness will expand his role, but his size, production, and accolades already highlight his impact.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>EJ Hall – WR, Melbourne High</em></strong><br><strong><em>Height/Weight: 6'4”, 175 lbs</em></strong><br><strong><em>Season Stats: 18 receptions for 335 yards (18.6 avg), 72 YAC, 2 TDs (7 GP)</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Scouting Report:</em></strong><br>Hall is a long-striding vertical threat who averages significant yardage per catch. He uses his frame to win downfield and shows the ability to generate yards after the catch. His length and speed combination create matchup problems on the outside.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Analysis:</em></strong><br>Hall projects as a big-play perimeter receiver with developmental upside. As he adds strength and refines his intermediate routes, he can become a more complete target, but his explosiveness already stands out.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Cawanis Leonard – WR/RB, Evans High</em></strong><br><strong><em>Height/Weight: 5'10”, 160 lbs</em></strong><br><strong><em>Season Stats: 19 receptions for 327 yards (17.2 avg), 75 YAC, 5 TDs (9 GP)</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Scouting Report:</em></strong><br>Leonard is a versatile offensive weapon with strong acceleration and open-field ability. He transitions smoothly from receiver to runner, showing vision and burst after the catch. His ability to line up in multiple spots adds value to the offense.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Analysis:</em></strong><br>Leonard projects as a hybrid playmaker who can stress defenses horizontally and vertically. Continued development in route detail and strength will raise his ceiling, but his versatility and big-play ability already make him a dynamic offensive piece.</p>
