If you grew up in my neighborhood, \u00a0every kid had a nickname. \u00a0Some matched while a \u00a0hell of a lot of them didn’t. \u00a0There was the 200 lb. thirteen year old that everyone called “slim” and the two time left back 5th grader who was referred to as “brain”. \u00a02015 Flanagan HS, Florida WR Robert Foy is all about action when he takes to the field for the Falcons so when you hear his nickname “Bam” you can see that 2+2 \u00a0= 4.<\/p>\n

I do not know the origin of Foy’s nickname. \u00a0I would suspect that he earned it before his days on the gridiron but at this point in time in his football career it suits him. \u00a0Foy is a well put together 5’10” 190 lb. prospect. \u00a0Watching him run around on the field, \u00a0you are going to quickly think “Steve Smith” after the Baltimore Ravens leading pass catcher. \u00a0Whether\u00a0Foy is running a precision route to spin a defensive back around or he is navigating his way into traffic to make a tough catch for his team to extend a drive, Bam is a word that may come to mind. \u00a0If you are a lover of the craft, \u00a0you will find enjoyment in watching Foy catch the ball with his hands away from his body. \u00a0It’s a trait that is foreign to many high school level receivers but one that seems to be an after-thought for this senior prospect. \u00a0Foy’s low center of gravity gets him in and out of his cuts with extreme quickness. \u00a0He is equally deadly inside as a slot receiver as he is on the outside vs. top cover corners. \u00a0His strength shows up on film releasing off of the line of scrimmage but even more so blocking downfield for ball carriers. \u00a0You’ll run back several clips displaying Foy manhandling defenders until they are firmly planted to the turf.<\/p>\n

Wide receivers mostly come equipped with the term “diva” but not this guy. \u00a0Foy is a football player who’s physical nature and ability to get the job done led to him filling in at both tight end and defensive end when the Falcons were hit with injuries. \u00a0Perhaps filling in was not the correct term. \u00a0Foy caught touchdown passes from the tight end position and racked up some sacks when called upon to play defensive end. \u00a0There’s a strong chance he outplayed the person who was originally in those positions. \u00a0Coming into his senior year, \u00a0Foy did not have much fanfare. \u00a0As is often the case, \u00a0some high school prospects are late bloomers. \u00a0Foy did not really grow into the physical specimen that he is now until this most recent off season. \u00a0Colleges are starting to take notice but recruiting is tough for seniors when it gets to December. \u00a0There’s little doubt however, \u00a0that the school that eventually ends up landing this solid prospect will continue to learn the true meaning of the word “Bam”.<\/p>\n
