he'd be allen hurns. if allen hurns was 17 years old and going to play in rhett ashlee's offense
(Listed as 5’8 150lbs, but not an updated h/w, he’s currently 5’10 165lbs ) 3-star WR out of Miami Gardens.
Was originally at Norland but then transferred to Champagnat last year.
Had a great Junior season with 42rec 688yds 13TD’s on Champagnat’s state championship offense.
He’s a quintessential slot WR, speed demon that has a quick release off the line & plays with an explosive burst in the open field. Runs with terrific contact balance & has an extra gear getting into the 2nd level of the Defense. A shifty jump cut runner who understands angles & dynamic lateral quickness with runs after the catch, will be a YAC machine in college. The run @2:30 on his tape shows a perfect example, the way he can cut on a dime & accelerate while downshifting at full stride without losing any speed is exactly what you want to see from a joystick mover playmaking WR.
Unlike most small South FL Slot WR’s he’s not a skinny beanpole, the kid has a stout physical frame & as you can see runs with a good center of gravity in order to cut so seamlessly & has a quick but smooth running gait that allows him to create space in enclosed areas & make defenders miss.
As a route runner they didn’t really use him in too many sophisticated patterns, all they had him run was Bubble screens, Reverses & 9 routes, but in camp setting at least he’s shown route tree versatility & understands how to stem properly to create separation & depth at the 2nd level, his transitional footwork getting in & out of his breaks is textbook with quick choppy steps & makes him a matchup nightmare for DB’s.
Was a big time performer under the bright lights, had 8rec for over 100yds & 3TD’s in the state title game & is a high character kid who you don’t have to worry about handling the mental aspect of the game, natural baller.
He plays for Champagnat the same school that delivered us Rousseau & Jaylen Harrell recently, he also plays for SOAR 7V7 squad & runs track. Haitian kid from Bunche Park that is friends with several players we’re recruiting & a number of guys already on our team.
Ole Miss has recently offered him & is selling him on playing the Elijah Moore role, they have the early lead because they were first to jump in on his recruitment from a P5 standpoint, but as @DMoney has been discussing the South FL Slot kids have had really good success in college & are making it to the NFL, this kid could be another one.
