does. He racked up over 1,200 all-purpose yards, found the end zone nine times, and still had the juice to pull down six interceptions on defense. That kind of two-way production is rare enough — but then you throw in the fact that he also handles kicking duties? That’s just different. He went a perfect 7-for-7 on extra points, crushed 52 touchbacks on kickoffs, and pinned nine punts inside the 20. And the thing is, none of it feels gimmicky — he’s just a naturally gifted athlete who’s confident in what he brings to the table. As a receiver, his speed is obvious, but there’s also a smoothness in how he moves and a willingness to do the gritty stuff. On defense, he’s got real instincts and doesn’t wait around — he attacks downhill and plays fast. Add in his leg strength and clean mechanics as a specialist, and you’re looking at a guy who can change the game in more ways than most. It’s hard to overstate how valuable that kind of versatility is at the high school level.
