The Parkview Patriots have had no shortage of talent over the past few years and that is a trend that is going to continue next season. Three Patriots will not have a problem of catching the eye of college recruiters. We will be introduced to three Parkview players that are going to be well known this offseason and next season. [player_tooltip player_id="75071" first="Trent" last="Bennet"]t-Defensive Back One player that really jumped off the film as I was watching the Parkview Patriots is [player_tooltip player_id="75071" first="Trent" last="Bennet"]t. He will likely transition to the safety position very well at the next level. The trait that I like the most in Bennett’s game is his willingness to make a tackle. Bennett does a fantastic job of laying a solid tackle into the ball carrier. He does a good job of playing the ball in the air and he rarely gives up the big play. Bennett is going to be a division one college football prospect and it will be interesting to see how he develops over the course of the year. [player_tooltip player_id="75070" first="James" last="Jointer"]-Running Back The talent that Parkview has is not just on the defensive side of the ball. Jointer is one player that is not flying under the radar. He has received 20 scholarship offers and the 2022 class has just started to emerge into the limelight. Jointer is a running back that will not be brought down on initial contact. He displays good bursts and he has the ability to make a move and be in the open field. The area of his game that goes under the radar is his pass catching ability. Jointer is another player from Parkview that will be playing division one college football. Jalon Smith-Wide Receiver Over the past few season, Parkview has done a great job of producing the skill position players. Smith is a wide receiver that has excellent speed. He is a nightmare for opposing defensive backs to attempt to cover. Smith has the potential to be a breakout star and the offseason and seven on seven tournaments will be key for his recruiting. Smith is the Patriots deep threat and uses his speed to create separation from the defenders. Smith is another Parkview player that I expect to play division one football.
