Today, we bring you five more football prospects who have been shining in the post season. <strong>2021 - Nolin Eaddy , LB, Kissimmee Osceola. </strong>Talk about one of your under the radar athletes.

Showed early in the season that having a player like<strong> Thad Franklin </strong>is great, but when you have someone like this freshman who is ready to step in at any time, it made this season so much easier for head coach <strong>Dameon Jones</strong> and this three-time defending state champions. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14764717/Davion-Gause">https://www.hudl.com/profile/14764717/Davion-Gause</a> <strong>2021 - Johnquavis Jones, WR, Hawthorne. </strong>Not the biggest player on the field, but watch him perform and you will see that he does the things that gets teams like Hawthorne to a state title game. His ability to run and make key catches is why this is yet another post-season standout. In the win over three-time defending 1A state champion Madison County helped the Hornets pull the upset. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11235997/Johnquavis-Jones">https://www.hudl.com/profile/11235997/Johnquavis-Jones</a> <strong>2021 - </strong><strong>Kaleb Killian, RB, Jacksonville Trinity Christian. </strong>In a season where this team turned up the volume, it was prospects like this young man who found a way to lift head coach Verlon Dorminey and the Conquerors.
