From the road: D.C.-Maryland

Recruiting Wrap: No schools have offer Ibrahim yet.
Performance: Ibrahim has been lighting up the scoreboard all year. He added another four-touchdown performance to his resume while amassing almost 120 yards on 10 carries. He has great explosiveness and very good vision to go along with it. That combination makes him a very effective weapon. Only a sophomore, Ibrahim will be getting dozens of offers soon enough.

ATH
Darryl Turner (2016)
Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha
Recruiting Wrap: Old Dominion has offered Turner.
Performance: Turner was the spark DeMatha needed in a tough game. He returned a punt 54 yards right before halftime. In the second half, Turner made plays on both sides of the ball, including a pivotal pass breakup that would have nearly sealed the deal for Gonzaga. Turner's skill set projects to either side of the ball as a ball carrier or as a free safety because of his great explosiveness, awareness and overall speed.

RB
Jonathan Lee (2016)
Olney (Md.) Good Counsel
Recruiting Wrap: Akron and Buffalo have offered Lee.
Performance: While Ibrahim provided the fireworks for Good Counsel, Lee was the workhorse. He carried the ball for 150 yards on 17 carries and scored one touchdown. He broke off a 50-yard run that showed his impressive explosiveness through the line of scrimmage and his great vision once he got to the second and third levels. Lee has become an inside runner that Good Counsel can rely on down the stretch.

OL
Terrance Davis (2016)
Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha
Recruiting Wrap: Davis' newest offer is from Michigan.
Performance: Davis was an absolute monster. At guard, he was a road grader for a dominant rushing attack, using his powerful legs and excellent punch to knock defensive lineman backwards. Davis was also an asset in passing situations, as he was able to stymie the inside rush. It was good to see Davis' constant aggressiveness throughout the game.
6
WR
Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga
Recruiting Wrap: Greenwood is committed to Kentucky.
Performance: Greenwood was a major playmaker, scoring on a 36-yard catch and adding a 39-yard catch later in the game. His ability to break press coverage at the line of scrimmage and get downfield in a hurry puts immense pressure on cornerbacks and safeties. Greenwood is very good at using his size to box out defenders and catch the ball at its highest point.
7
OL
Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga
Recruiting Wrap: Petitbon is committed to Alabama.
Performance: Pettibone had a tough matchup against a very talented defensive end in Shane Simmons, but won the majority of his reps. He was very effective throughout the day when run blocking and did not allow defenders to pressure his quarterback with an inside route. Petitbone is a natural guard and that's what he will play at Alabama. Simmons took advantage of his speed to the outside a couple of times.
8
DE
Shane Simmons (2016)
Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha
Recruiting Wrap: Simmons is committed to Penn State.
Performance: Simmons played all over the defensive line on Sunday. He is a natural defensive end but was bumped inside and his quickness gave Gonzaga's interior offensive line fits. Simmons beat Petitbon on edge rushes and he was able to apply some pressure. It isn't every weekend when a matchup of two major Division-1 players happens at the high school level and this one certainly lived up to the hype.
9
LB
Jordan Anthony (2017)
Olney (Md.) Good Counsel
Performance: Anthony came away with four and half tackles, two sacks and two and a half tackles for a loss. Anthony laid some huge hits and played with great aggressiveness. He has improved with every game so far this season and is really living up to the hype. He is a prospect that will have a long offer sheet by the time he graduates.
10
RB
Anthony McFarland (2017)
Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha
Recruiting Wrap: South Carolina and Tennessee are McFarland's latest offers.
Performance: McFarland has developed into a tough, between-the-tackles back that also has great speed on the outside. On a couple of plays, McFarland showed his toughness by running through tackles and his speed by breaking to the outside to pick up big chunks of yards. Look for McFarland to be one of the top running backs in his class.
11
QB
Ramar Williams (2016)
Forestville (Md.) Bishop McNamara
Recruiting Wrap: Hawaii is Williams' only offer.
Performance: Williams has had a prolific year as a passer and that trend continued. As essentially McNamara's only offensive weapon, Williams threw for over 300 yards, completing less than 50 percent of his passes with three touchdowns and one interception. It was impressive to see Williams' athleticism and escapability. On one play, Williams made five or six defenders miss before finding an open receiver in the end zone.
12
RB
Lorenzo Harrison (2016)
Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha
Recruiting Wrap: Harrison is committed to Maryland.
Performance: Harrison's effort really helped DeMatha shut the door on a Gonzaga comeback. He scored the final touchdown after taking DeMatha down the field, picking up yards in big chunks. Harrison will do well in Maryland's offense because he is a hardnosed runner that gets better after contact.
13
DE
Olney (Md.) Good Counsel
Recruiting Wrap: Fullwood is committed to Virginia Tech.
Performance: Fullwood had a pretty good game on Sunday. He was shedding blocks well and made a couple of good plays at and behind the line of scrimmage. The future Hokie ended the game with four tackles and one tackle for a loss. Look for Fullwood to bulk up when he gets to Blacksburg and that will really help his game.
14
RB
Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga
Recruiting Wrap: Corbin is committed to Illinois.
Performance: Corbin provided some big plays for the Gonzaga offense and was very productive. He had a couple runs that he bounced to the outside to pick up more than 10 yards and it was good to see his open field speed. Once at Illinois, Corbin will likely develop his explosiveness and be able to cut up field faster.
15
OL
J.P. Urquidez (2016)
Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha
Recruiting Wrap: Urquidez recently visited Baylor and is going to be at Oklahoma's game against Oklahoma State.
Performance: Urquidez had his hands full with a very good Gonzaga defensive line. He still showed great quickness and strength, but his hand placement on a couple of key plays made it difficult for him to be successful. There is a lot to like about Urquidez and there is a lot about his game that translates well to college.
16
QB
Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga
Recruiting Wrap: Johns is committed to Virginia.
Performance: Johns had an up-and-down day. He looked great early but could not convert later in the game. He continued to find Greenwood in the open field, one of his favorite targets all year. There is no doubting his arm strength, toughness and competitive spirit, but the ball needs to be placed in a spot that is easy for the receivers to catch more often.
17
DB
Forestville (Md.) Bishop McNamara
Recruiting Wrap: White is committed to Notre Dame.
Performance: White did not have many chances to show off his skills, but they certainly have not left him. Good Counsel only threw the ball nine times, but White showed that he has very good speed, is aggressive with receivers at the line and has a good understanding of where the ball is. White's instincts and reaction speed will improve once he gets to South Bend.
18
LB
Kyle Taylor (2016)
Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga
Recruiting Wrap: Iowa, Virginia Tech and Wisconsin have offered Taylor.
Performance: Taylor is a strong, aggressive linebacker that does a good job of shooting the crease to blow up running plays. He did a lot of that against DeMatha on Sunday. Taylor also showed that he has the ability to quickly drop into coverage in the middle of the field. If Taylor could have shed some blockers faster, he could have made more stops.
19
DB
Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha
Recruiting Wrap: Green is committed to Ohio State.
Performance: Green is a big, rangey playmaker in the center of the field for DeMatha. He has become a physical presence and is quick to come up on running plays and passes in front of him. Green is also an asset on the offensive side of the ball. Look for Green to become an in-the-box safety in college.
20
DE
Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha
Recruiting Wrap: Kelly is committed to Temple.
Performance: Kelly began his high school career with a lot of hype and he has become a key piece of his team. He plays defensive end and tight end and came up with some big stops on defense and made some important blocks to help spring running backs for big gains. Late in the game, Kelly also converted a pivotal first down on a short pass over the middle.
OTHER PROSPECTS
DB
Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga
Lewis is one of the top defensive backs in the country, but sat out on Sunday because of a shoulder injury. His top schools are Kentucky, Washington State, Ole Miss, Miami and Georgia.
DE
Joshua Paschal (2017)
Olney (Md.) Good Counsel
Paschal is one of the big-time up-and-comers in the Mid-Atlantic. The defensive end already has offers from Clemson, Ohio State and Kentucky. He made two and a half tackles and one tackle for a loss.
DE
Izon Pulley (2016)
Olney (Md.) Good Counsel
Pulley is one of the more talented prospects at Good Counsel, but he is still waiting for his first offer. He made three and a half tackles and a very important tackle for a loss to keep Bishop McNamara out of the end zone. Look for offers to come in after the season.
ATH
Ayinde Eley (2017)
Olney (Md.) Good Counsel
Eley has quickly developed into a very good coverage linebacker. He grabbed his second interception of the season and made three and a half sacks. At 6-foot-3, 190-pounds, Eley has a very good frame and has a high ceiling.
ATH
Olney (Md.) Good Counsel
Paye has been very effective this season. He had four touches and gained over 120 yards and scored one touchdown. When used correctly, Paye can be a game-breaker.
LB
Wesley Bowers (2017)
xForestville (Md.) Bishop McNamara
Bowers is a very powerful, instinctual linebacker that isn't afraid to stick his nose into the action. Look for Bowers to excel over the next few years with good coaching and improved speed. He had a good game, making a number of tackles in the middle of the field and providing an element of toughness for his team.
