Don't let his size fool you, because his speed and route running allow him to be one of the more dynamic players at the high school level. If he were just a bit taller, everyone would know who he is, as this is the one thing that is holding him back. A team should take a chance on Summey, as he is someone who can change a game even if it is on special teams. Summey is the truth to say the least.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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-69ed74845710b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1922587' first='Kade' last='Mitchell'] isn't even ranked, which is something that should be extra fuel for him entering the spring. He finished his high school season with one of the most receiving yards in the state of Georgia. He is deserving of moving into a ranked spot after doing what he did, because he is bound to do it again, but this time with a new quarterback after [player_tooltip player_id='1163339' first='Gavin' last='Nuckolls'] moved on to Georgia State during the winter. Mitchell is a fantastic route runner and projects as a future college slot receiver.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1958234"],"_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-69ed748457155"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1958234' first='John' last='Stanley'] took a huge step up during the 2025 season, and I believe he is bound to take another step up with the Christian Heritage Lions. Stanley is one of the more gifted players in the state when it comes to being able to slide both inside and outside, and his footwork is one of the best in the area. This is thanks to training with former Tennessee Vols running back Gerald Riggs, who brags about Stanley quite often. I believe Stanley is bound to have a huge season in 2026 if he can continue to improve, as it wouldn't shock me if he pushes close to double-digit sacks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["416465"],"_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-69ed74845719c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='416465' first='Brayden' last='Stoker'] is simply ranked too low in my opinion. He didn't just dominate the competition, but he tortured them, as he was the clear exception in the Northwest part of the state. He is a huge frame that is built like a tight end, but runs routes like he is the next great wide receiver to come out of the area. Stoker projects as a power four wide receiver with great upside, as I would even argue that he is one of the more gifted players in the whole state, let alone NWGA. Stoker's catch radius is through the roof, and if he were doing this further south in the state, it is guaranteed he would have every offer there is to have.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["861460"],"_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-69ed7484571df"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Respect is needed when you talk about one of the best linebackers in both the state of Georgia and the northern part of the state. He took a major step up in his season with the North Murray program, and he is bound to do the same this season, as I look for him to be a captain of this program, if not the lead captain, now that [player_tooltip player_id='1090799' first='Hudson' last='Hulett'] is off to Chattanooga. Perez is a star, and he is someone who can't be unranked anymore. He deserves to move up because of his reliability and his ability to be a true green-dot mike linebacker at a college in the future, with his growth taking the frontline of the reasoning. Perez is someone I will continue to go to bat for in 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
