<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're back with a new Recruiting Report!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today, we're diving into all of the recent commitments from across the state!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always, make sure you watch their film below!

In coverage, Bailey is a ball hawk DB who consistently flies around the field to pick off and break up passes- it's seriously difficult for QBs to throw against him, he's terrific at locating and tracking the ball in the air.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Bailey is just as productive against the run- he flies downhill to fill in lanes and rack up tackles down by the line of scrimmage for little gain. I'm most impressed with Bailey's skills in pursuit- he plays with a ton of effort and has great closing speed that he uses to make hustle plays against the run from deep downfield.</em>“</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bailey committed to Clemson where he's sure to have a huge impact in their secondary. We're all going to have to look out for him!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1668199"],"_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-6a42804d98a42"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1668199' first='Carter' last='Castleberry'] is an explosive ATH from Wintersboro who announced his commitment last week!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Castleberry really caught my eye on the offensive side of the ball- he's a well-rounded WR who can be played in a variety of creative ways. He's quick, has great size and speed, and can attack multiple levels of the field with his route running.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>I'm really impressed by how explosive of a prospect Castleberry is- he can take screens and jet passes the distance while also having the receiving skills to get out wide and create big plays downfield.
