I said I wasn’t going to get my hopes up,  but here we are…..

if we can reel in Calvin, this would be amazing! Not just for the sake of saying we got a 5 star football recruit either. This kid is really legit!

First off, there are not many 6’-5” WR’s out there. And there are none that have the athleticism that Mr Russell has. His senior highlight are only through mid season, so they are somewhat limited. He plays for an excellent team in Miami Northwestern, that has plenty of weapons.   But this kid is a physical anomaly. Kids this tall are not supposed to be that fast, explosive, and very elusive.  He can make great cuts on his routes as well and appears to have excellent hands. If there is one player I’d say he reminds me of it would be Randy Moss. Maybe he doesn’t have his vertical but at 6’-5” he probably didn't really have to display it against HS DB’s. Obviously he is only going to be a senior in HS, but turning into that type of player seems possible for him.  By the way, Randy was only listed at 6’-4” 205 lbs.

Keep in mind Calvin played mostly QB his Sophomore season, so he may have even a little more developmental upside than what is typical. If you really want to get a good look at his true athleticism, also watch his 2023-2024 film as a QB.
