WR Baller Alert from Week 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A full week one was underway this past weekend for all schools in the MD area. I take a look at some of the top performing WRs from this opening weekend who went off and put up huge numbers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1631764"],"_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-6aa1a6658ec66"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I saw Korey live in his week one matchup vs Hodgson (DE) in the Mid-Atlantic PigSkin Classic. It took just Howard's first offensive play of the game for Korey to make his mark. Play one, he beat the defense over the top, running by everyone and making a nice full extension grab to haul in a 50 yd TD. For the game Korey totaled 3 TDs and 140 total yards on just 4 rec. and a 35ypc avg. For his second TD he high pointed the ball over the defender and immediately broke away from the tackle to walk into the end zone. Korey's third TD reception may have been his most impressive. He took a short pass over the middle, juked by 2 defenders and than out ran the defense to run in for the score. A big time game by an impact player, look for Korey to post multiple more games like this one during the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Good start yesterday against Hodgson winning 38-6 <a href="https://x.com/hashtag/AGTG?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AGTG</a> <br>Stats:<br>3TDS<br>4REC<br>140YDS<a href="https://x.com/HHSTHFC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@HHSTHFC</a> <a href="https://x.com/KashifMoore?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@KashifMoore</a> <a href="https://x.com/CoachFlemWR?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachFlemWR</a> <a href="https://x.com/EdOBrienCFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@EdOBrienCFB</a> <a href="https://x.com/247recruiting?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@247recruiting</a> <a href="https://x.com/adamgorney?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@adamgorney</a> <a href="https://x.com/TerenceArcher?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TerenceArcher</a> <a href="https://x.com/CoachFourTUFF?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachFourTUFF</a> <a href="https://x.com/RyanSnyderOn3?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RyanSnyderOn3</a> <a href="https://x.com/DerekHoodjer?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DerekHoodjer</a> <a href="https://t.co/WbifSf7t40">pic.twitter.com/WbifSf7t40</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1631764' first='Korey' last='Manley'] (@koreymanley_) <a href="https://x.com/koreymanley_/status/2095920519568613440?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 4, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1128876"],"_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-6aa1a6658ecd3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jadereon may have had the biggest week one WR performance in the state. With a total of 231 rec. yards on 4 catches for a 57.75 ypc average and adding in 2 TDs. He almost had 3 TDs as he was held up at the 1 yrd line on one of his receptions. Jadereon's speed and elusiveness was too much for defenders to handle in Easton's week 1 game. He routinely blew past DBs with that 10.69 100M speed, getting over the top and being wide open for huge plays. If there were any defenders within 5 yards of him, Jadereon easily juked and made quick twitch moves to create space to then accelerate by them once again. Jadereon holds double digit FBS/FCS offers and he is a top uncommitted prospect in the 2027 class for the area. A dynamic slot WR with elite speed, more colleges should certainly come calling if he keeps putting up these numbers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">GAME CHANGER!

Mckai used his size, athleticism and smooth fluid stride to make impact plays for Great Mills this past weekend. Effective across all 3 passing levels, he can beat you over the top or take a short pass for big gains. Mckai has strong hands and excellent ball skills, able to track it and go attack the ball in the air. He makes it easy on his QB to get the ball to him and can make a play with it after the catch. Holding a handful of FCS offers, look for more to come offering with the size, speed, athleticism combination McKai brings to the field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="qme" dir="ltr"><a href="https://x.com/hashtag/agtg?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#agtg</a> <a href="https://x.com/SMAC_Football?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SMAC_Football</a> <a href="https://x.com/DC_CoachLux?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DC_CoachLux</a> <a href="https://x.com/MarylandHigh?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MarylandHigh</a> <a href="https://x.com/WRU_CoachMilez?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WRU_CoachMilez</a> <a href="https://x.com/ChadSimmons_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ChadSimmons_</a> <a href="https://x.com/BrianDohn247?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BrianDohn247</a> <a href="https://x.com/247Sports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@247Sports</a> <a href="https://t.co/EwWQUevlSX">pic.twitter.com/EwWQUevlSX</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1709872' first='Mckai' last='Minor'] (@Mckai_Minor) <a href="https://x.com/Mckai_Minor/status/2097123996902768854?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 8, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2384998"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2385011,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6aa1a6658ed8b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mikah burst on to the scene in week 1 for Smyrna (DE) after transferring over from Cape Henlopen. This past weekend he posted 121yds on 5 receptions for an avg ypc of 24.2 yards. He had a long of 50 yards and had 3 TDs in his game. Mikah is a player with nice acceleration, twitch and speed. Able to take short passes and make his way through the defense to take it big gains. Mikah also shows impressive ball skills, able to track it well and use good body control to get in position to secure the catch. Look for Mikah to have a big season for Smyrna and have a strong rankings debut in the next update. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Week 1‼️‼️<a href="https://x.com/Mvsj21_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Mvsj21_</a> <a href="https://x.com/CoachMarks717?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachMarks717</a> <a href="https://x.com/smyrnafbrecruit?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@smyrnafbrecruit</a> <a href="https://t.co/MTM9I8dKET">pic.twitter.com/MTM9I8dKET</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='2384998' first='Mikah' last='Jackson'] (@Ky_Jackson5) <a href="https://x.com/Ky_Jackson5/status/2097100463808061832?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 7, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["965050"],"_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-6aa1a6658edd8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Khalil is a player that keeps getting better and better each year, and he showed he is ready to blow up this season with his week 1 performance. He went for 171 yds on 7 catches for a 24.42 ypc average and added in 2 TDs as well. A long well slapped together athlete with a fluid stride that glides past opponents. A smooth route runner who can work across the middle as well as being a vertical threat. Khalil displays a big catch radius, able to go up and get it with good body control and make difficult catches. Making an impact at S in this past weeks game as well is why Khalil is listed as an ATH. A 2028 playmaker on both sides of the ball that should see some offers come his way if he continues to put up huge performances like week 1 for the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Week 1 Woodlawn 7 catches 171 yards 2 tds 3 tackles 1 int 1 PBU <a href="https://x.com/WRU_CoachMilez?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WRU_CoachMilez</a> <a href="https://x.com/TorreySmithWR?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TorreySmithWR</a> <a href="https://x.com/Ian_Salkil?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Ian_Salkil</a> <a href="https://x.com/PrepRedzoneMD?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzoneMD</a> <a href="https://x.com/CoachRGarrett?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachRGarrett</a> <a href="https://x.com/CoachFalaki?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachFalaki</a> <a href="https://x.com/CoachRiede?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachRiede</a> <a href="https://x.com/AlexKellyCuse?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@AlexKellyCuse</a> <a href="https://x.com/_VicHall?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@_VicHall</a> <a href="https://x.com/Tony_TDUB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Tony_TDUB</a> <a href="https://x.com/BenRubenstein_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BenRubenstein_</a> <a href="https://x.com/ResiHS_Football?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ResiHS_Football</a> <a href="https://x.com/TerenceArcher?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TerenceArcher</a> <a href="https://x.com/CoachKDumas?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachKDumas</a>…</p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='965050' first='Khalil' last='Malloy'] (@lorr_khalill) <a href="https://x.com/lorr_khalill/status/2096642116239622404?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 6, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
