Jeremiah Hudson SS Fairfield
Hudson was the most dominant player in this mid-October battle. While finishing with twelve tackles, an interception, and one deflection, Hudson displayed a heart of a lion and led his team to victory. Hudson’s linebacker-like instinct allows him to be a significant asset as an enforcer in the run game. His physicality is off the charts, and he shows good technique as a tackler by wrapping up and driving the ball carrier through the ground. Hudson also showed some ball skills when he high-pointed the ball and made a contested interception at the goal-line late in the game. With two more years to improve his frame and cover skills, Hudson could be in the discussion as one of the top players in his position by 2023.
Jalen Jones WR Ramsay
The most explosive player of the night was Jones. His agility and ability to make defenders miss can translate to the next level. He does an excellent job of looking at the ball and catching away from his body. Once the ball is in his hands, Jones turns into a running back and is excellent at getting yards after the catch and shows big-play ability in all phases of the game. Can take the top off the defense with a go route or turn a 5-yard completion into a 60-yard touchdown. Jones could be used as a hybrid player in the right system at the next level.
Eric Handley Eric Handley 6'2" | 205 lbs | QB Pleasant Grove | 2024 State AL QB Fairfield
Handley showed an exceptional skill set for a sophomore. Handley’s ability to make a multitude of throws was crucial in this victory. Handley showed a remarkable ability to pass with touch and accuracy. His ball placement always seemed to give the receiver a chance to play on the ball. Handley also showed a knack for making cross body throws routinely and an ability to use his legs to buy time and make off-script plays. With sufficient accuracy in the short and intermediate game, Handley’s arm strength should develop as his arm matures and he adds more weight to his frame. Could develop into one of the better QB’s in the state by his 2024 graduation date.
Ashton Ashford RB Ramsay
Ashford is a versatile running back who can be used in a multitude of situations. Though he’s more quick than fast, he’s very nimble and can make the first guy miss in close quarters: he shows proficient vision and an ability to allow the blocks to develop before plunging forward. Ashford also runs with tenacity and tends to fall forward whenever he’s brought down to the ground. With this versatility, Ashford should develop into a solid 3-down back at the next level.
Jalen Wright MLB Ramsay
Wright stands out with a 6’1 215 frame, and he isn’t afraid to use it. As a downhill linebacker, he possesses a prototypical mentality and attitude to stifle the opposing run game. Showed good pursuit and excellent instincts and rarely ran himself out of the play. He also showed incredible strength when engaging with linemen and shedding blocks. He does an excellent job of hitting hard without breaking his fundamentals. He proved to be a great open-field tackler and competed at a high level on every rep. Though he’s a sleeper at the LB spot within the state, Wright could be a diamond in the rough with more size and training if given an opportunity.
