About Steel
Expert Analysis
Andy Pham | Prep Redzone Scout
Steel has great size and length. He’s a hybrid receiver/move Tight End. He does well getting vertical in his routes and has strong hands. He does well in zone schemes as he knows the soft spot in the defense, he can morph into a hybrid Tight End if he decides to add on some weight or stay as a bigger bodied receiver that can move the chains.

Read EvaluationAndy Pham | Prep Redzone Scout
Steel finishes the year as the 40th ranked prospect in the state and the WR6 in the class. Steel has exceptional size and has a large catch radius, and showcases strong hands. He is a red and green zone threat and gained valuable experience this year when he was thrust into a prominent receiving role this year due to some positional switches. Because of that, he’ll have a full offseason to work on his craft and come back better, and what should be a phenomenal final season.

Richards has great size and is a receiver who moves well and does a good job of using his frame to shield defenders from contested catches. He’ll be a factor in the red zone and depending on how much Dennis plays at quarterback, could be the WR1. He’ll look to be an easy target for his signal caller and it starts against an aggressive West defense.
