Parker Brailsford Parker Brailsford 6'2" | 265 lbs | OL Saguaro | 2022 State AZ , OL, 6’2” 265 lbs., Saguaro HS
Brailsford started off with offers from Northern Arizona and New Mexico in the spring and has since landed Power 5 offers from USC and Michigan State in July. He’s a good athlete with plus mobility and bend at his current size. He plays with good fundamentals and technique showing good footwork, pad level, and punch at the POA. Parker has an explosive get off the ball that allows him to easily reach the second level and be effective as a pulling guard on inside runs or lead blocking on the perimeter. He shows off his strength and physicality with his ability to get a solid push off the LOS. Has a good foundation to build on and Power 5 colleges will continue to take notice of his ability and upside.

Shakaun Bowser, LB, 6’4” 225 lbs., Casteel HS
A developing young linebacker that has great physical tools to build on. Has good size and length at 6’4 225 lbs. with plenty of room to add weight as he grows and fills out. Impressed by his ability to rush the passer using his quick and explosive first step and his hands to fight off blockers. Shows good speed in pursuit with the lateral agility to play sideline to sideline. Also a strong and physical tackler that drives his legs through contact. Southern Miss was the first D1 offer at the beginning of August but it could be the first of many for this good all-around prospect.

Angel Flores Angel Flores 6'0" | 210 lbs | QB Casa Grande Union | 2022 State AZ , QB, 6’2” 200 lbs., Casa Grande Union HS
For a guy with Flores’ talent and ability, it’s surprising his first offer came just a few weeks ago from FCS Morgan State. Entering his junior year, he has good size at 6’2” 200 lbs. to go with his impressive playmaking ability with both his arm and his legs. From his first varsity start as a freshman his athleticism and arm strength were undeniable but with the added game experience he has shown huge strides in his throwing mechanics, footwork, and accuracy. He does a great job feeling pressure and escaping the pocket where he can use his superior athleticism to either deliver an accurate ball on the run or tuck it and take off where he is a threat for big gains every time he does. Flores is the complete package at the quarterback position, and he won’t be flying under the radar for much longer.

Bryan King Bryan King 6'4" | 205 lbs | DB Casteel | 2022 State AZ , DB, 6’4” 205 lbs., Casteel HS
King picked up his first offer from Southern Miss at the end of July but we at Prep Redzone believe his recruiting stock is about to soar with the Power 5 attention he has been receiving as of late. He has all the physical attributes of an elite level safety at 6’4” 205 lbs. without ever having played the position. For the past two years, he has flashed great athleticism, body control, and balls skills as a wide receiver but has switched to the defensive side of the ball entering his junior year. While he may be raw at the safety spot to begin with, he’s a strider with good speed and quick feet and has shown good natural ability in offseason workout tapes. It will be interesting to see how he develops at his new position but colleges won’t be able to pass up his size and athleticism. Expect his recruiting to take off.

Jeryll McIntosh, RB, 6’0” 215 lbs., Desert Edge HS
Another strong Arizona prospect that Morgan State was the first to offer several weeks ago. McIntosh had a big sophomore campaign when he rushed for over 1,300 yards and 15 touchdowns. He’s a downhill runner that is physical, tough, and very difficult to tackle one on one. He runs with good balance and drives his legs through contact allowing him to run through tacklers. Love his vision and ability to accelerate when he finds a running lane and possesses the top-end speed to finish off long runs. He has the size, speed, and potential to receive Power 5 attention if he continues on the same trajectory.
