Flowers is only a rising Junior and has put together a very impressive high school career thus far. He shows good throwing mechanics in the pocket with a quick release and puts a nice zip on the ball when throwing downfield and throws his receivers open with good ball placement and tight windows. His throws have good spin and he shows some nice touch over defenders on short and intermediate throws. He is a mobile kid that can make plays with his legs while able to move the pocket and throw on the run across his body. He is a high IQ player that scans the field quickly and throws a tight spiral on most all throws.
DB Ethan Beard, Meridian HS
Beard is a long and rangy player that just picked up his first offer from the University of Idaho over the weekend. The 2023 prospect is a physical presence on the outside that is not afraid to trigger and make plays in the box. He shows fluid hips in space and has natural ball skills while flashing short area quickness and change of direction when breaking to ball carriers and on the ball. Also showing he can go up and make contested catches while offering some good closing speed and length when trailing, he will be one of the better defensive backs the region has to offer in 2022.
WR Kalil Schroeder, Burley HS
Schroeder is a big play receiver that can stretch the field and take the top off a defense. He is explosive out of his stance while showing he can track the ball in traffic and has strong hands at the point of attack. He offers open field speed and can create separation while using his length to go up and make contested catches. He is a tough and physical runner with a ball in his hands that can make defenders miss in the open field and has a chance to make a big play every time he touches the ball.
DB Ayden Martinez, Skyview HS
Martinez is a big-time player and one of the top defensive backs across the state regardless of class. He is a explosive returner with third level speed and shows good vision in tight windows when returning kicks and punts. He has a strong build especially for his age and is a tough and physical corner on the outside that is not afraid to trigger in space and make place behind the line. He can naturally sink his hips in his pedal and flips quickly while able to adjust and make plays on the ball when in man coverage with return abilities. He is physical when pressed while not a lunger and is overall a very technically sound corner, especially for his age. A balanced and explosive player with good size, college interest should start to come his way sooner rather than later for the Skyview product.
