Heading into this year, CJ Cypher has some of the most hype around him and rightfully so. Cypher helped lead his team to the state title game last season and he did that in 6A football as just a freshman. He has the poise, the arm talent, the IQ, the ability to improvise and he checks down each of his receivers before throwing a wide out open unless he is hitting a target to where he already knows where he is going with the ball which is what makes him special so young because he knows when to do it and how to.
