<p class="text-gray-700">Moore's athletic profile is excellent. He's big, fast, and looks like a running back with the ball in his hands. A good part of Hopewell's passing offense is predicated on getting the ball behind blockers and letting him run through would-be tacklers in the secondary. Moore's size allows him to create mismatches against smaller corners, and he's able to break a lot of tackles after the catch.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Williams had a good year last year, but kind of slipped through the cracks in the offseason. We used this update as an opportunity to fix that. He has excellent athleticism, especially in explosive metrics like acceleration and vertical. He has ball skills and can get down the field in a hurry.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Booker's size is obviously the first thing you notice, but his movement skills and hands are also impressive. Christ School uses him on a lot of screens and hitches, which is rare for a guy his size. We wanted to get him into the rankings this update, and I think he could be a big mover in the next update, especially if he sees an uptick in volume down the stretch.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Forest Hills continues to pump out talented receivers, but Myers' emergence came out of nowhere, at least for me. On film, he hits another gear after the catch that is really impressive. When he decides it's time to get to full speed, he does so in a hurry. He runs a robust route tree and Forest Hills often uses him both underneath and over the top of defenses.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Statistically, Pruitt is one of the most unique receivers in the state. He has between two and three catches in every game this season, with at least one going for 30 yards. I mention that because if that's all you knew about him, his film would shock you. Pruitt is a smooth route-runner, comfortable near the sidelines and winning on a variety of route concepts. He's not simply a "go deep" guy, but shows a lot of nuance, especially at the top of his routes, and always catches the ball with his hands, not his body.</p>
