Continue ReadingToday we’re going to take a look at some under-recruited prospects. All of these prospects are being hindered by the pandemic and how it’s affected recruiting as a whole. A lot of these prospects don’t get the attention of their peers. These players are high-level college prospects and had great seasons this year. Every one of these players is severely under-recruited. At Prep Redzone Florida, our mission is to get players like this promoted and seen!
David Tibbs, OT- Clearwater Countryside
6’7 295lbs
This is one of the best tackles in Pinellas County. How he is not recruited more heavily is beyond me. He shows decent feet for someone his size. He gets his hands inside and anchors while showing a mean streak to finish blocks. He has improved his pass-pro showing the ability to mirror defenders. He does a good job using his long arms to catch blockers and redirect them. Tibbs is a perfect example of a D1 player that’s been hindered in recruiting by the pandemic.

Ezra Brennan, QB- JW Mitchell
6’0 170lbs
Brennan is one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in Pasco County and in the state. He is extremely accurate, outstanding ball placement, show great ability reading coverages, and knows where to go with the ball quickly. Has a deft touch on deep balls, and is a really good runner, showing vision, quickness, and the ability to extend plays. Brennan guided Mitchell to a Historic season with 11-1 record and a quarter final playoff appearance this season. Brennan passed for 2235 yards and 35 touchdowns this season while completing 63% of his passes with a 127.3 QB rating!

Ryan Cunningham, RB/FS– East Lake
5’10 190lbs
Cunningham is a pure football player in every sense of the word, he lined up at safety, running back, and returned kicks this season for East Lake, and plays at all those positions at a high level. He registered 77 tackles, 1 Int, and had 24 carries for 172 yds 3 tds this season. As a prospect, Cunningham comes to balance versus the run and hits bigger than his size. He has tremendous acceleration to the ball and explodes through his tackles. He has good ball skills and body control to make diving plays on the ball. Also shows the ability in coverage to track the ball and make a play on it as evident by his 6 career ints. He’s a surefire Division 1 talent that is being hurt by the pandemic, whatever program gets him will instantly be upgraded the day he steps foot on campus.

Jack Arnone, RB/SS- Newsome
5’11 185lbs
Arnone and Cunningham are very similar players in that both are terrific safety prospects that also play on the offensive side of the ball. Arnone has a rare combination of strength and speed, recently timed a 4.54 40 yard dash. He runs with a low center of gravity and consistently bounces off tacklers. He’s a one-cut runner that has the ability to take it to the house at any moment. He reads blocks extremely well and fights hard for yards after contact. Arnone finish the season with 217 yards rushing and two touchdowns, while also chipping in with 33 tackles and six passes defensed on the defensive side of the ball. Shockingly he only holds an offer from Valparaiso University.
