Continue ReadingWith the 2021 season upon us, I wanted to go in-depth about some guys that are under the radar right now. These players are all talented and have college level ability and skills. Some of these players have a few offers and with the help of big seasons I can forsee all of them playing college football at some level.
Curran Webb, LB- Union County
6’4 210lbs
Webb is a big-time Junior prospect that finished the season with 77 tackles, 11.5 sacks (ranked 16th in the state for sacks in c/o 22’s), and three forced fumbles, he plays outside linebacker in Union County scheme, shows athleticism and the ability to run and cover the slot. He also shows the ability to be very effective rushing the passer. He does a good job taking on blocks with a solid punch and discards blockers to get to the ball-carrier. He currently has an offer from Post Graduate school Valley State and is starting to hear from the Air Force Academy.

Rhet Conyers, LB- Plant City High
6’0 210lbs
Conyers had an outstanding Junior season registering 89 tackles, one sack, and averaged almost 10 tackles per game. His best game came against Lakeland Kathleen with 14 tackles. He’s a nice prospect that had 12 tackles for losses this season, he’s a downhill linebacker that reads plays quickly and gets to the ball, does a good job scraping and sifting through traffic to make tackles, he does a good job squaring up and driving the ball carrier. I really like Conyers as a player and think he could be one of the best linebackers in the county this season.

Caden Huffman, LB- Newsome
5’11 185lbs
Huffman had an outstanding Junior season making first team all-county finishing the season with 96 tackles, three sacks, and two blocked punts. If you’ve ever seen Huffman’s Twitter feed you’ll see his work ethic and what an animal he is working out (squats 475lbs 2x), his strength is unreal for a player his size. Huffman is a super aggressive linebacker that is also athletic enough to play out in space with acceleration, agility, and is a very good open field tackler, he is a good prospect that will make it hard for colleges to ignore the season.

Joe Cowans, DT- Blake High
5’11 280lbs
Cowans has terrific burst and strength off the snap, consistently splits blocks and gets into the backfield. He has a natural low center of gravity that helps with good pad level, he converts speed to power quickly and has a lot of agility for a big man, and changes directions with ease. He moves effortlessly for his size, and will only get better next season.

Jairon Dorsey, CB- Wharton High
5’11 170lbs
Dorsey is a name to get to know in the Tampa Bay area, he’s a very good corner prospect that had five interceptions last season, showing his natural cover ability. He’s very athletic and shows a lot of speed and closing burst, he’s a corner that loves contact and will get his hands on receivers and be physical, he doesn’t have a problem helping and run support.
