Kid can cut, kid can catch, kid has speed and bonus, kid can punt too. See the last two plays of his senior highlight tape. Surprising he doesn’t have more offers.... FL diamond.

The short pass he catches over the middle and takes to the house at the 35 second mark, WOW. SPEEEEEEEEEEED KILLS son. Let's get it. This dude with Cam Ross and Matt Drayton, the. defense is going to have some. problems.
 
Cool the jets. We'll see. Afterall his only other offer was UMass. Would like to see better programs interested.

Point taken. But a look back three, four, five years and we see the announcements for kids that are 1-11'ing, 2-10'ing for the Huskies now. Recruiting has been a problem, hope this kid is a step out of that hole.

Sandalwood is a top high school football program loaded with FBS talent. There are 2 4*s on the roster, QB committed to FSU and CB committed to Alabama. They have 2 WRs committed to FBS schools, Kinsey to Bowling Green and Embry to UConn. By the way, UConn recruited Kinsey and it appears he did an official visit in June. Kinsey is rated 3*s and he is 6'4", 205 lbs.

Based on the stats that I saw, neither Embry nor Kinsey were among the top receivers in 2018. The top 3 from 2018: 1 at JC, 1 at Florida A&M, and 1 playing baseball at North Florida. Thus, I would say Embry was under the radar.

The stats I saw for 2019 show:

Embry: 41 catches, 675 yards, 9 TDs, 16.5 ypc
Kinsey: 33 catches, 440 yards, 6 TDs, 13.3 ypc.

The UMass coach, Walt Bell was the OC at Florida St. and recruited the Sandalwood QB which is probably why he knew about Embry.

Thus, I would say Embry was an under the radar recruit that popped up this year which is why he was under recruited.

I like that he is a track star as well.
His Long Jump is 22'5"
His Pole Vault is 13'3.5"
Triple Jump is 43'11.5"

The quarterback is a 4 star going to FSU.

For now... With the coaching change maybe (by some miracle) we give it shot and jump in the mix for that kid's services...

UConn also offered Sandalwood RB Kyjuan Herndon who committed to Ole Miss.

Looks like 100 other HS receivers in Florida. Not meant as disrespect. There is so much talent at most schools very good players don't get a chance to he the man until senior season. It's very easy to find legit D1 players without major offers.
 
I'll add characteristics of RE recruits include service academy offers and track performers.
 
We need speed and athleticism like I need beers at tailgating. Welcome aboard Jhaylin.

There are more d1 prospects in Florida every year than there are d1 scholarships available in the state. And when there are that many some will be missed and others will be under rated. My nephews school a few years ago had more d1 scholarship players on the team than were found in Connecticut. One school. 8 defensive players.

See it every week with HS football in FL.
 
We now have 2 or 3 recruits from Jacksonville. As I said in another post, it is an underrated area for talent. Everyone scours south Fla, but the Jax area has a bunch of really really good football programs. First Coast, Bartram Trail, Mandarin, Bolles, University Christian, and Bishop Kenny regularly produce talent.
