<!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='39075' first='Brennan' last='Wooten'] - Cathedral - TE - 6'3" 230lbs - 2023</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A legit TE with a fantastic frame and understands how to use it. He's an elite athlete who is great with contested catches. He's decent at blocking but will likely need some improvement at the next level. His catch radius is ridiculous and his vertical is impressive. That combination together leads to alot of potential TDs at the next level. The real deal at TE and checks every box. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Previous Rank: 77</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>New Rank: 30</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Twitter: @brennan_wooten</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12908305/Brennan-Wooten">https://www.hudl.com/profile/12908305/Brennan-Wooten</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='533244' first='J.J.' last='Payne'] - Northwood - WR - 6'4" 170lbs - 2023</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A fantastic athlete who has elite size. He's got fantastic hands and is able to win any contested ball that comes his way. He's able to control his body in the air and adjust on the fly. A willing blocker in the running game and has the size to play near the box. A versatile player who could play on the outside at the next level and give a QB some comfortabiltiy. Think there might be a learning curve at first but he strikes me as someone who will learn, adjust, and flourish.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Previous Rank: 215</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>New Rank: 38</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Twitter: @JJPayne24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13041066/JJ-Payne">https://www.hudl.com/profile/13041066/JJ-Payne</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='185200' first='Cody' last='Mikulich'] - Bloomington North - RB - 5'11" 195lbs - 2023</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An elite back who is good at everything on the field. Someone I didn't have ranked before but that mistake is now fixed. I do my best to get everyone in every class and I just miss people sometimes. However, that's fixed now and Mikulich is worth every second. A powerful, speedy, and smart back with great natural feel through holes in and when in between the tackles. He had an elite career and is a D1 back all day.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Previous Rank: N/A</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>New Rank: 49</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Twitter: @CodyMikulich</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13075604/Cody-Mikulich">https://www.hudl.com/profile/13075604/Cody-Mikulich</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='325824' first='Da'Shon' last='Stewart'] - Evansville Central - DE - 6'2" 220lbs - 2023</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic and flexible DE who can rush and get after the QB. Good on the edge and has experience playing on the interior, he's able to get what you need done. He's currently a bit light but as he hits the weight room that will change. A relentless motor and great instincts on the field. If he doesn't get home he'll get his hands up and bat down a ball. All the little things you like to see in a lengthy flexible frame.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Previous Rank: 187</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>New Rank: 53</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Twitter: DaShonMStewart</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14525446/DaShon-Stewart">https://www.hudl.com/profile/14525446/DaShon-Stewart</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='200198' first='Carson' last='Terrell'] - Northeastern - QB - 6'2" 200lbs - 2023</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of my personal favorite recruits in the state with how he works and carries himself. Came from a triple-option offense and developed even faster than you'd think. Year 1 removed from that triple-option offense and he rewrote every record possible. A big frame, good arm, and as athletic as they come. Not afraid of the big moment or taking a hit in the pocket. A fantastic prospect worth a good look for every school.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Previous Rank: 93</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>New Rank: 33</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Twitter: @CarsonJt19</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12925169/Carson-Terrell">https://www.hudl.com/profile/12925169/Carson-Terrell</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
