Steel is a hybrid receiver/tight end. He is strong at the catch point, moves well, and creates after the catch. He does an excellent job at playing above the rim and is a pass catcher who does well at all three levels. He’s picked up an FCS offer and should continue to get looked at regionally and continue to garner FCS interests. He is a big bodied receiver who is an easy target in key third downs and in the red and green zones.
Steel is a versatile player who can play multiple positions. He has the footwork and the ability to create separation to be a boundary receiver. He has a large catch radius that allows him to be a dependable chain mover. He has the size that can allow him to move inside as a hybrid move tight end and that will allow him to be a mismatch in coverage as he’ll be too quick and athletic for most backers and too big and physical for most defensive backs. He’s a player that has all the tools and is a D1 level prospect who is being overlooked right now.
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.
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.
Steel has shown glimpses this year, and he is primed for a breakout next year. He has good size and will be a key target in the red and green zones. He has a large catch radius, shows strong hands, and will continue to hone and refine his craft. He is primed for a big final year.
Richards has great size and a large catch radius. He moves well and showcased on Friday night that he transitions well upfield and does well creating after the catch. He has good suddenness to him, especially for his size, and will be a big threat in the red zone and in contested catch situations.
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.
Richards has exceptional size and moves well for a player of his size. He is good at vertical routes and displays good speed. Richards is strong at the catch point and excels at contested catches, where he can shield the defender away from the ball. Richards is going to be deadly in the red and green zones; he has every right to garner double-digit touchdowns. He’s going to be the WR1 this year for Timpview.
Richards goes from unranked to 40th overall. He has great size, is strong at the catch point, and has good footwork. Richards has a knack for creating late separation and with his size, he’s an excellent red-zone threat. He should have a tremendous season and catch the eye locally in recruiting.
During the 7’s event, Richards showed great footwork, and the ability to naturally separate was in full effect. He is strong at the catch point and has great ball-tracking skills. Richards is a player who will break out and blossom this year. He’s a talented wide receiver.
