Offers: Princeton, Bethune-Cookman</strong></em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Scouting Report:</em></strong><br>Funnye is an explosive two-way athlete with strong vertical speed and big-play efficiency. Averaging 27.0 yards per catch, he consistently stretches the field and capitalizes on limited touches. He tracks the ball well downfield and shows natural body control in contested situations. His defensive experience translates to strong ball skills and competitive instincts at the catch point.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Analysis:</em></strong><br>Funnye projects as a high-upside perimeter playmaker with legitimate academic and athletic value. His size-speed combination and two-way versatility add to his recruiting appeal. Continued development in route detail and strength will elevate his consistency, but his explosiveness and production already stand out.</p>

<p><strong><em>Major McBath – WR/FS, Bartow High</em></strong><br><strong><em>Height/Weight: 6'1”, 180 lbs</em></strong><br><strong><em>Season Stats: 13 receptions for 321 yards, 2 TDs (24.7 avg, 75 YAC, 5 GP)</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Scouting Report:</em></strong><br>McBath is a long, fluid athlete with strong downfield ability. His 24.7 yards per catch reflects his vertical usage and ability to generate chunk plays. He shows good stride length and body control, with the frame to develop further physically. His defensive background enhances his awareness and competitiveness.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Analysis:</em></strong><br>McBath projects as a developmental outside receiver with clear athletic upside. As he refines his route running and expands his route tree, his production could increase significantly. His length and versatility make him an intriguing long-term prospect.</p>

<p><strong><em>Ethan Chalmers – WR, Land O' Lakes High</em></strong><br><strong><em>Height/Weight: 6'1”, 177 lbs</em></strong><br><strong><em>Season Stats: 14 receptions for 285 yards, 3 TDs (20.3 avg, 84 YAC, 8 GP). 3.2 GPA</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Scouting Report:</em></strong><br>Chalmers is a smooth, well-built receiver who shows reliable hands and the ability to generate yards after the catch. His 84 YAC highlights his ability to transition quickly from receiver to runner. He runs controlled routes and shows good spatial awareness against zone coverage.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Analysis:</em></strong><br>Chalmers projects as a balanced perimeter target with room to expand his offensive role. Continued improvement in release quickness and separation ability will raise his ceiling, but his frame, efficiency, and after-catch ability provide a strong foundation.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Al'quan Smith – WR, Lennard High</em></strong><br><strong><em>Height/Weight: 5'10”, 155 lbs</em></strong><br><strong><em>Season Stats: 14 receptions for 285 yards, 4 TDs (20.3 avg, 50 YAC, 11 GP). 3.2 GPA</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Scouting Report:</em></strong><br>Smith is a quick, agile receiver who thrives in space. He shows sharp route breaks and the acceleration to create separation at the top of routes. His efficiency per catch demonstrates his ability to produce explosive plays.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Analysis:</em></strong><br>Smith projects as a slot receiver who can stretch coverage and create mismatches. Adding strength will help him handle press coverage more effectively, but his quickness and play speed already give him a dynamic element.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Hamilton Green – WR, Wharton High</em></strong><br><strong><em>Height/Weight: 6'1”, 185 lbs</em></strong><br><strong><em>Season Stats: 18 receptions for 276 yards, 3 TDs (15.3 avg, 38 YAC, 6 GP). 3.5 GPA. Offer: Jacksonville State</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Scouting Report:</em></strong><br>Green is a physically developed receiver with a strong frame and dependable hands. He works effectively in intermediate areas and shows good awareness finding soft spots in coverage. His build allows him to compete well through contact.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Analysis:</em></strong><br>Green projects as a possession-style receiver who can contribute consistently in structured passing attacks. Increasing top-end explosiveness would enhance his vertical impact, but his size, reliability, and academic profile make him a solid recruiting prospect.</p>
