He has seen his recruitment take off lately, with two offers coming in for the talented Receiver. Standing at 6'3" 195-Pounds, he is a tall and lengthy receiver. He can afford to add weight to continue filling out his frame. </li> </ul>   The tall and lengthy Saratoga Springs product is a player I can see being a star at the next level. He is a true downfield threat with his height and he has excellent hands, making challenging catches look easily. Through contact he shows good poise, and is a strong physical WR at the POA. LaFrance is a strong route runner, and he can drop his hips at the top of his routes, allowing him to make sharp cuts. He also has a nice tool bag of good routes he can utilize for catches. In space he works well and has good footwork. LaFrance is a stud at the WR Position.     <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Gonzalez has been a long standing Camp attendee, and the Archbishop Stepinac prospect has been dominated to say the least. He is yet to pick up a D1 offer, but has multiple schools with interest in the Stepinac Prospect, along with a D2 Offer from AIC. He has a smaller frame at 5'9" 175-Pounds, but he makes it work, still being an elite threat.</li> </ul>   Gonzalez is a quick prospect who can kill with his speed. Utilizing him on Kick and Punt Returns can lead to more offense and Special Teams Scoring. As a route runner, he has the ability to carve upfield, showcasing a diverse bag of routes at all three levels. His footwork is impressive as well, and he can stay low to the ground on his cuts, allowing him to gain separation off the line, and at the POA. Despite his size, he is a physical strong WR, who can fight with DB's with his hands, and for the ball. 50/50 plays typically fall his way, and he is impressive for a WR prospect. As a Veteran, look for new QB [player_tooltip player_id='121685' first='Dylan' last='Wrona'] to get the ball to his top playmaker.     <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Milan is a returning member of the Sheepshead Bay/FJM Defending PSAL Championship Squad. He had a breakout campaign this past season, and he is a prospect I have tapped to break out this fall. The 6'3" Prospect is elite height wise, but can look to fill out weight wise, as he stands at 175-Pounds. </li> </ul>   Milan is a player I need to see in person this fall based on his skillset. He is a highly intellectual playmaker who feasts in the Redzone given his size. He has excellent footwork and body control, which is on display with his sideline and tight window catches. Off the line, he has a good first step, and can fight for separation with his hands. Route Running and footwork are also some of his strengths, as he showcases a nice toolbar of routes he can run proficiently. He is a deep downfield threat with his size and speed. Working more on getting lower at the POA, and his hip fluidity can help him improve with separation, and finding quick easy targets for big gains. I expect Milan to be the top target for the FJM/Sheepshead Bay Squad once again this season.     <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2143338' first='Arnette' last='Williams'] is a player who I first saw competing on the 7v7 Circuit this past season. He attends Health Sciences Charter in WNY New York, and is a talented underrated receiver. Standing at 6'1" 205-Pounds, he has an elite frame for a QR. </li> </ul>   His frame is one of the best parts of his game, as he can make 50/50 and tough catches look easy. A true deep ball and Redzone threat is what he is given his frame. I like his route running and for a player of his size, he can get low and shows good speed in and out of his cuts. Off the line he has solid hands, and uses them to gain separation which he excels at. He works best in space, as he is able to make plays for big time gains downfield. With his frame and speed, he is an elusive tough to tackle WR prospect who I expect to have an elite season for Health Sciences Charter in 2026.     <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Mohammed is a player who will be leading the talented Eagle Academy III squad this season. He is a breakout player in the PSAL in my opinion, and the 2027 receiver has a unique frame standing at 6'4" 155-Pounds. His height is elite, but he is on the slimmer side, and can look to add more weight to fill out his frame before reaching the college level. </li> </ul>   Mohammed wins with his length. As a prospect, he has the ability to go up and make catches, and ball placement becomes easier as he typically is one go the tallest players on the field. He has good hands, and his ability to make strong physical catcher through contact showcases his strength and skillset despite his slimmer build. He is an excellent route runner, who can utilize his tool bag of routes to gain separation and sit down in space creating big time gains across the field. His use of hands, and his fluidity of his hips, allows him to make sharp cuts at the top of his routes, which sees him racking up catches across the field. He has yet to receive an offer, but he is a prospect who deserves the love and a chance at the next level.
