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.
Javarion Henry OT- Dixie County c/o 23
6’3 285lbs
Henry is a hidden gem offensive tackle for Dixie County and triple option offense. He’s a great athlete for his size and his light on his feet, has good agility, speed and power, and does a good job powering through his blocks. Henry does a good job of coming out of his stance low shooting his hands inside and generating power on run plays. Shows light feet and agility in pass pro. Very nice prospect.
Nic’kel Freeman Nic’kel Freeman WR Lafayette Mayo | 2022 FL – Lafayette High
6’1 180lbs
Freeman is a very good prospectthat is being severely overlooked, he has amazing leaping ability and body control. He goes up and gets the ball with ease and has an outstanding catch radius. He has very good top-end speed (4.49 40), smart student with a 3.0 GPA. Freeman’s film is pretty amazing to watch, he makes catch after catch of high pointing the ball, he uses his body extremely well to shield off defenders and make catches, he has great balance and sideline awareness and shows good speed as well. He is a definite FBS Prospect.

Hollowell is a linebacker Prospect that does a good job trusting his eyes and getting to the football, he had 97 tackles last season and showed big-play ability with 10 tackles-for-loss. He’s a smart/high-effort player that averaged almost 14 tackles per game, on film you can tell his maturity, smarts, and leadership, he’s constantly directing players on defense before the snap, also shows the ability to drop in coverage and make plays on the ball, he had 2 ints last season. He’s quick laterally and does a good job scrapping and getting to the ball-carrier. He’s a player to get to know. He was an All-State linebacker and has a 3.3 GPA

Hunter Williams, DE/OLB- Fleming Island
6’4 200lbs
Williams is a pure football player that had 75 tackles, five sacks and 27 tackles for losses last season! Williams has a long athletic build, he is quick off the snap and comes out low using leverage and good technique to rip off blocks and gets to the ball carrier in the backfield, he shows backside burst and closing ability to get to the quarterback/ball carrier, he’s a good enough athlete where he can translate to outside linebacker at the next level. William’s film doesn’t lie, he makes play after play, very good player that needs coaches to take notice.
