27′ QB Khayse Barrett (@BarrettKhayse) had an outstanding showing during DR7’s National Championship – The Crown. He has a really good deep ball that is one of the best I’ve seen in the circuit. Barrett’s throwing base is well polished, and he delivers a catchable ball. He understands time management very well for a young player, which says a lot about his attention to the game. Khayse is a competitor and a kid who can be an asset to a collegiate program.
28′ WR Jordyn Murray (@jor5ynnn) has the skills to be one of the best recruits in a couple of years. He attends Tampa Bay Tech, a high school that is known for pushing out Division 1 talent. Murray has the opportunity to add to that legacy. He’s a long, athletic receiver who is just a football magnet. If it’s thrown in his vicinity, Jordyn is likely to come down with it. His routes are smooth, and he’s twitchy for a player his size. Recruiters, take a look at this kid now.
28′ WR Noah Patell (@noahpatell2028) caught my eye this past weekend at DR7’s National Championship – The Crown. It was like every big play that needed to be made, he was the guy to call on. Noah is really good at taking advantage of soft zone coverages. He’s deceptively fast and can be a deep threat as well. His hands are solid, and he moves well anywhere on the field. Patell was truly a pleasure to watch and hope to see more of him.
28′ ATH Michael McLendon (@Michael72109817) is unreal! Mark my words, this kid will be one of the best players in the 2028 class. He is just a natural, position-less football player. When he lines up at receiver, he creates mismatches all over the field. The traits he possesses are speed, a quick first step, strong hands, can high point the ball, separate from defensive backs, and make them miss. There’s not much he can’t do. He’s electric with the ball in his hands. He would also make for a great safety as well. McLendon is a ball hawk with tremendous instincts. The way he sees the field is second to none. Keep a close eye on this star on the rise going forward.
