McGowan was without question one of the top signal callers in Murfreesboro this past weekend, completing many impressive touchdown passes. On top of his excellent size, I really liked McGowan's arm strength and his ability to quickly release the ball in crunch time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1260422"],"_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-69b74f1a4effe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I was additionally impressed with [player_tooltip player_id='1260422' first='Brady' last='Lewis'], an athlete for Tennessee Brigade 18U that made his presence known on both sides of the ball. On day one of the tournament, Lewis was doing a great job of reading the offense like a book and hauling in the clutch interception. Today, Lewis was making plays at receiver, including an impressive touchdown catch in the title game. The rising senior out of the Cleveland area is definitely worth watching next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["820949"],"_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-69b75c8a5663e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Claiming the number three spot on my list is [player_tooltip player_id='820949' first='Brayden' last='Carroll'], a wide receiver for Tennessee Brigade 18U that made a huge difference on both days of the tournament. Carroll was explosive off the snap with his size and electric speed. The Tennessee commit also did a really good job beating defenders to the ball as he hauled in a number of impressive touchdown passes on the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["966038"],"_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-69b75c8a566d2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Also establishing himself this weekend was [player_tooltip player_id='966038' first='Kyree' last='Scott'], an athlete for Tennessee Brigade 18U that made a number of impressive plays on the defensive end. I really liked how Scott could read the offense like a book, lock down receivers, and get wide open for the clutch interception. Scott also impressed me with his awareness, proving he can quickly jump in front of the pass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2116510"],"_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-69b74f1a4f0a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another playmaker that stood out was [player_tooltip player_id='2116510' first='Jake' last='Goodin'], a wide receiver for Tennessee Brigade 18U that was making the big plays all weekend long. Goodin's explosiveness off the snap and ability to get off the ground to make the touchdown catch made a huge difference all weekend long. I also really liked Goodin's footwork in the endzone, showcasing his ability to juke out the defense and get wide open for the pass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140012"],"_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-69b75dba3efdb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another prospect to catch my attention was [player_tooltip player_id='2140012' first='Drake' last='Frazier'], a wide receiver for Tennessee Brigade 18U that shined all weekend long. Frazier was nearly impossible for the defense to beat, using his explosive speed and strong catching ability to lead his team to victory. I also really liked Frazier's versatile edge, showcasing his ability to quickly adapt and elevate off the ground to catch the touchdown pass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
