, a Florida State commit, is a talented WR who’s made a ton of explosive plays this season.
“Although listed as an ATH and having some serious talent on defense, Winston truly shines out wide in Hoover’s passing attack. Winston is explosive in every sense of the word- he has great speed, can quickly accelerate, and can make defenders miss to carve up huge plays in the secondary.
I’m really impressed by Winston’s route running and what he can do after the catch. He gains tons of separation out of his breaks and is a constantly open target for his offense. Wintson really thrives after the catch, finding ways to navigate defenses and make the most out of every reception he brings in.”
