Poteat put on a show on a weekly basis this season at Verona Area, and he believes he proved that he can perform at the highest level.
“I feel like I just showed everyone out there that my rankings and what my stars are does not show what my skill level really is,” Poteat said of this. “I can perform at the highest level and give a great showing.”
The Scout on Poteat
“Let me say this first of all, he is a great young man and a great leader,” Verona Area Head Coach Andrew Riley told Volquest in June. “He is a great dude. On the field, he is a field tilter for us. Wherever he is on the field, the field is going to tilt that way a little bit. The quarterback is going to notice which side he is on, he is going to be a little more nervous about it. To me, it is his confidence (that stands out) in what he does. He works hard off the field in the off-season, and his instincts and knowledge of the game put him in the right place to make some exceptional plays. All of the work he has put into the weight room and speed work allows him to make the special play. He plays receiver for us and returns kicks and punts for us. He is just dynamic. Last year, he scored in every way he could except a fumble return for a touchdown. Wherever he is, he is a big difference-maker for us. He helps his teammates out and holds them accountable, too.”
