btw, this Freddie Franklin kid is rumored to be one of Callys main targets and supposed to be a real diamond in the unranked ruff. guess hes a real WCO prototype.
Here is a excerpt of a stat from one of his games:

Carver's Franklin gets to show versatility

Frederick Franklin has played basketball with former Carver football standout Lynaris Elpheage, who also played at Tulane, and the two are friends.
"In a way (Elpheage) is a hero, because he made it out of here," Franklin said.
And this season Franklin wants to be the next Lynaris Elpheage at Carver -- a multiple-position football standout whose athletic ability and drive leads the Rams to a strong playoff run and lands him a scholarship.
This is Carver's first year in Class 5A. The Rams are playing in an Orleans Parish district (8-5A) that also includes Abramson, Douglass, Kennedy, McDonogh 35 and Reed.
Franklin will play running back, safety, kickoff and punt returner and wide receiver for the second straight season, Carver coach Jack Phillips said.
He said he's looking forward to the challenge of having to play all over the field.
"My role is to get the rest of the team to play up (at a high level) with me," Franklin said.
Franklin rushed for 837 yards and seven touchdowns and caught 16 passes for 188 yards last season. He led Carver in scoring.
"We're going to try, between running and passing plays, to get him 25 touches a game (this season)," Phillips said. "If you look at (Franklin's) slicing style, it's like (Hall of Fame running back) Marcus Allen and (former Carver and current St. Louis Rams star) Marshall Faulk. He doesn't get many good licks in a game."
Phillips said Franklin is also a scoring threat on kickoff and punt returns.
"I think (Franklin) is one of the best returners in high school in the state," Phillips said. "He has good vision and good feet."
Franklin said he's not too enthusiastic about playing defense, but he'll do whatever it takes to help the team. "I'm not a guy for tackling or covering," he said. "I like to run away from people."
But when it comes to trying to be the next Elpheage, Franklin realizes that playing many positions, including defense, comes with the territory.
"In a way it's going to be just like Elpheage, because I'm going to be taking on more of a leadership role on and off the field," Franklin said.
