Woodbridge product Lloyd Cropp and Brookepoint standout Aviance Young Jr are amongst are biggest stock risers in this update. Both have received offers this spring and should be playing Power 4 football very soon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1313465"],"_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-6a1dd0fc8b22a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the biggest stock risers in our latest overhaul was Aviance Young, who this off-season has picked up close to 10 FBS offers. I told you about him last year and he has made me look good after picking off 9 passes as a junior. Young vaulted up to 61st overall and his recruiting doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/lilav4x/status/1987234458173329896?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"x","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/lilav4x/status/1987234458173329896?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1202052"],"_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-6a1dd0fc8b2eb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Watched up close at our winter showcase what [player_tooltip player_id='1202052' first='Chieftain' last='Watson'] is all about, he will be playing major college football very soon believe that. Watson does it all for Courtland and ranks 8th for his position group (63rd overall). He is physical off the snap and can jam any wideout off the line of scrimmage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1848670"],"_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-6a1dd8f054594"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Colonial Forge standout [player_tooltip player_id='1848670' first='Michael' last='Adon'] is coming in for a monster senior season he saw his rankings bump up to 205th overall. Adon's hard work this off-season is really paying off with a Ferrum offer last month and more offers expected with college summer camps upon us. He can run under a 4.4 40 and had 4 interceptions a year ago, remember his name. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2198229"],"_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-6a1dd8f054627"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hardesty is a baller and I would expect him to have all-conference honors with the South County stallions this fall. He was impressive at different position groups at our Spring showcase and can run with any wideout 1vs1. I anticipate him to get a lot of division 2 schools after him this summer before his final season with the Stallions begins.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
