BEST WR IN STATE?

[toomuchtime]

Hunter Branch #80 Fairview High School

 

6'3' 185 lbs.

 

2010 40 Time- 4.6

 

62 catches 986 yards 13 TDs

 

Also, he is a great blocker.

 

He will be participating in the East/West All Star Game. Look forward to seeing how he will do.

 

 

He is a very physical receiver to have such speed. Not afraid to cross the middle, goes up in traffic. Fearless and blocks great as well. One of the best I've seen. I think in college he'll put on about 35 pounds or more and be an excellent slot Receiver or maybe even a tight end. He is a great receiver.

Hey man, all are deserving, but I have to go with Trent McEwen of White House at least in 2A (4A playoffs). The kid is just a junior and no one has really stopped him this year. If he's not an all-state performer no one is. BDP

Can't count out that boy from Bledsoe Michael Gibbons 72 CATCHES 950 RECIEVEING YARDS, 12 TDS 100 rushing yards on 6 carries. Bledsoe's schedule may not have been the hardest but the kid has hands and speed. Ya he isn't big but still he is an athlete

I dont understand how only UTC wants Warren. The kid is just an absolute work horse. You'd think Field Goal Fulmer was still coach at UT

Unfortunately, local talent is not considered equal to that from Florida, Georgia, California, etc.. Combine this fact with coaches recruiting athletes specifically tailored for their system and the NCAA clearing house requirements and you can usually pinpoint why our local athletes get the back seat or no seat at all. One would think that Randall Cobb's success in the SEC would have sent a strong message.

 

However, I do not think the athletes listed above are done getting offers. To my knowledge,all above are in good academic standing. The fun is about to begin. Many D-1 and D-1AA schools wait for senior film and/or wait for senior academics/ACT scores through mid-year to see if their interests are well placed. Offers will flow after those concerns are met. Exposure via playoffs and State Championship games also pay big dividends as well.
