He is a team player who brings a lot of energy. Numbers don't matter him as he only wants to help his team out. I feel like Chase has an abundance amount of talent with great route running and separation to get open. His attitude is what all coaches love. Chase definitely has the talent to go on to the next level and i feel he will be very successful.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1215058"],"_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-6783e08c41be1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1215058' first='Jaireon' last='Jacobs-Ford'] 5'11, 165-pound Wide Receiver from Gosnell Class of 2026 has 4.41 speed in the 40-yard dash is a name to remember this season. He is hard working and a playmaker who can go deep or just make the play needed for the team. I feel that Jaireon has the talent to make opposing coaches the difficult task of covering him. He will be a great asset to whichever college he attends.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1136552"],"_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-6783e08c41c22"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1136552' first='Braylyn' last='Brown'] is a 6'2, 185-pound WR/S from Joe T Robinson Class of 2028. Braylyn has the team skills and size to be very difficult to cover on the offensive side or get open on the defensive side of the ball. He uses his strength and height to his advantage. I feel that Braylyn is going to be a difference-maker this season and in future seasons as many colleges will be calling his name.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["777109"],"_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-6783e08c41c60"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pierre "Mann" Pickens is a 6'3, 200-pound Wide Receiver from Little Rock Christian Class of 2027.
