The all purpose back can catch the ball out of the backfield and get hard earned yards on the ground. Although he’s only 5’9, Ramsey plays bigger than he is and has a lot of tenacity to his game. He can find a hole when everything breaks down and has quick feet that benefits his lateral movement.

He’s noticeably good at tracking the ball in the air and can mirror even the fastest receiver on the field. If he continues to develop this season, he could see the added attention of some bigger schools on his radar. His length stands out on tape and not just on paper and college coaches will notice that. https://twitter.com/JarisMcintosh/status/1327999971011010562?s=20 [player_tooltip player_id="30168" first="Omari" last="Embree"] The Warren Woods Tower running back has some attention from Central Michigan on the recruiting trail but no firm offers yet. Embree is a fast running back who can accelerate through tackles rather than break them. He can be used in a number of ways on the offensive side of the ball, but also provides some elite punt return ability. Just get this kid the football and he can do the rest. https://twitter.com/TheD_Zone/status/1385564114450194437?s=20   [player_tooltip player_id="30179" first="Cooper" last="Phillips"] Phillips is attracting some colleges attention and is expected to have a big breakout season in 2021 to get even more. He has the size and technique to translate to the next level at a Division One program. He's willing to get nasty and has a powerful punch that can throw defensive ends off balance. Phillips also has the weight and strength to move inside if necessary. An intriguing recruit that coaches should be watching as we enter the 2021 season. https://twitter.com/cphilly73/status/1325962529940643840?s=20
