Evals and Analysis
Cordale Russell, North Mesquite
They say speed kills and Cordale Russell has plenty of it. The four-star receiver can stop on a dime and gas people the middle of the field. His cut-back ability and awareness of the field is second to none. He finds the endzone with ease because of his speed and agility. The vertical ability Cordale has to catch the football at its highest point combined with his speed and hands makes him a match-up nightmare. In 2020 was named district 11-6A Newcomer of the Year and holds twelve Divisions I offers to schools like Arkansas, Oregon State, and Pitt to name a few
Jonah Wilson, Dekaney
Dekaney’s four-star receivers Jonah Wilson is a big-time playmaker and RedZone threat. At 6’3” Wilson shows impressive speed and agility to get over the top of defenders quickly and has the speed of an Olympic sprinter. Recruitment is just taking off and will be one to watch this season make some big-time plays. Offers include Texas A&M, Arkansas, Pitt, the University of Houston, and LSU to name a few.
Chris Palfreeman, All Saints Episcopal
Just get the ball in this guy’s hands and let him do the rest. Palfreeman has the ability to take the ball in for six any time he touches it. Reminds me of a Tavon Austin type of receiver. Shows amazing speed, soft hands make him great. Very versatile as a player that can take handoffs and or catch passes effectively. Look for this one to be lighting up scoreboards near you this season. Holds two in-state offers to both Texas and Texas A&M, as well as others. It should be interesting to see the battle between both the Longhorns and the Aggies for this workhorse star receiver.
