<span style="font-weight: 400;">Lewis had a stellar senior year where he showed the ability to stay outside at cover corner within his time at Arkansas. He could be a future star with the Razorbacks; Except for here at #PRZTN, Blair is vastly underrated nationally, who at one time was committed to Michigan State. He is now on the open market and available to all; Vanderbilt might have their future left tackle in Morgan, who had a great senior year that placed him inside the Top 20 rankings; Broome mad a major jump up the senior rankings as he was one of the top stars of high school ball here in Tennessee this season. He is talented enough to push for playing time next year as a freshman at Boston College; </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Coming into the 2021 season, Paige was a little known prospect but after focusing on football harder, collegiate coaches started to see his gridiron potential. This Bucs pass catcher has much potential as anybody in the #PRZTN rankings; MTSU got a steal in Lowe, who jumped high into the Sr rankings at 26th overall; His continue progress throughout his HS career landed him with the Blue Raiders and pursued by many other high quality college programs; Pierce is an ultra talented football player that is still looking for a college home and whoever signs him, could be getting a future pro prospect; This Middle TN product is one of the top overall athletes in the entire class. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Headed to Memphis to play his college ball, Thomas is a big and physical wideout that produced big numbers in his career with the Raiders and has the upside to become a standout receiver with the Tigers; Cunningham made a big jump up the rankings to 60th overall after having a big senior year, where he led his team in rushing and was the main threat on a talented Lynx offense; This is an underrated back that is still on the open market; One of the hottest recruits throughout this past season was Molette as he picked up 10 plus offers and became a legit college recruit. This Raptors wideout moved up pretty far in our rankings due to his size, length and playmaking abilities. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">If you are looking for a pass rusher with a quick 1st step, Plunkett is your guy; His ability to bend and quickly get into the backfield made Plunkett a Top 70 in-state prospect and a prospect clearly on the radar of college coaches; Coaches are missing the beat right now when it comes to recruiting Ellis, Jr as this is a talented young man that could develop at multiple roles; His versatility and physical game play launched him into the Top 100 at 79th overall; This senior season for Mitchell was a breakout year for him where he displayed and enhanced his speed, athleticism and football knowledge along with being a key cog on one of the best defenses in the state; Placing at 95th overall in our final #PRZTN Sr rankings, Willliams earned this spot after establishing himself as one of the top running backs in the Middle TN area and senior class; This is a talented back that recently added a new offer from Yale and several others will follow soon. </span>
