Talent is talent and Inglewood High School has it in large supply. The “Ballers” as they are also known by are one of a few teams with updated in-season highlight videos posted on Gridironstuds.com. In their most recent installment, you can witness several top prospects making big plays to carry their team on to victory.
First up is outstanding 2011 prospect defensive back Kyle Evans. Evans is the younger brother of Shaquelle Evans who signed on with Notre Dame in the ’09 class. Evans can be seen making Division-I type plays on the football from his cornerback spot as well as showing some additional skill on the offensive side of the ball. 2012 wide receiver prospect Derrick Woods also opens your eyes with both his aggression on blocking and great pass catching skills. Woods is definitely one for college recruiters to keep an eye on. Woods has a swagger and a little bit of that “it” factor. At 2:23 on the video, he pastes some poor defender trying to pursue one of his teammates. It’s a must see.
2010 TE prospect Marcus Howard puts his stamp on the video with high quality tight end play which we have come to expect but Howard also shows up big time from his defensive end spot wreaking havoc on QB’s and ball carriers alike. The final installment in the highlight video is James Grace, a 6’2″ 200 lb. two way threat from his wide receiver and safety positions. Grace is aggressive and the first clip displays that. What was eye catching was his play making ability from the wide receiver spot. Grace only played in six games due to injury in 2008 and now it seems he’s ready to set the World on fire.
Inglewood is 2-0 to open the season with a 19-13 win over Quartz Hill and forfeit win over Kilpatrick. QB Shaun Alexander was 13 of 20 for 296 yards in the Quartz Hill win with Grace catching six balls for 162 yards. Howard caught three for 52.
The highlight video was produced by Sentinels staff member Stephen Thomas who is also the owner of Under the Radar Productions.
