Even though the 2022 football year just concluded last weekend, we are already headed into the offseason as the grind kicks off this weekend in Murfreesboro, Tennessee at the Prep Redzone Winter Showcase Combine and Evaluation.
More than 100 prospects are expected to be in attendance, which is a great showing freshly out of the football season, so plenty of talent should be on hand!
Below we provide you a quick breakdown and overview on what to expect and who to see at this weekend’s Showcase and which guys you should pay attention to that have a future on the next level.
Offense
– The deepest position group we have for this weekend on offense are the quarterbacks and it’s a talented crop with several future college players. The headliner for the quarterbacks is junior Aidan Glover Aidan Glover 6'3" | 195 lbs | QB Collierville | 2024 State TN from Collierville. This guy has all the physical traits and arm talent you look for in a college quarterback and it’s just a matter of time before his recruitment explodes.
Behind him is a 2025 signal caller that already possesses a few D1 offers and that’s Greenwood (Ky) sophomore quarterback Ryan Huff. Standing 6’3 and almost 200 pounds, Huff has the skill set to become the top 2025 passer in his home state sooner than later.
Representing the Volunteer State, several quarterbacks peak my interest as they have talents that can be translated into the college game. Among the guys to watch out for include Ty Collins Ty Collins 6'3" | 205 lbs | QB Nolensville | 2024 State TN (Nolensville), Mccoy Pugh Mccoy Pugh 6'1" | 200 lbs | QB Millington Central | 2024 TN (Millington), Corbin Cannon Corbin Cannon 6'1" | 195 lbs | QB Greeneville | 2024 TN (Greeneville), Carter Daniel Carter Daniel 5'10" | RB Chatt. Central | 2024 TN (Loretto), Caleb Sams Caleb Sams 6'0" | 180 lbs | QB Hendersonville | 2025 TN (Hendersonville), Sam Evitts Sam Evitts 6'3" | 185 lbs | QB Sequatchie County | 2025 TN (Sequatchie Co.), Kam Alexander Kam Alexander 6'2" | 190 lbs | QB Bartlett | 2025 TN (Bartlett) and a guy who could be the top passer in the 2026 class in Jackson Stroup Jackson Stroup 6'4" | 205 lbs | QB Gallatin | 2026 TN from University of Jackson School.
We will also have a key senior to pay attention to in attendance and that’s Devon Crenshaw Devon Crenshaw 6'3" | 225 lbs | QB Springfield | 2023 State TN from Springfield. This big, burly passer is looking for more work to continue his progression as a quarterback and hopes to turn some heads this weekend, which might lead to more offers.
The skill positions on offense isn’t as deep but it definitely has some guys to know about with big time abilities. Sitting at running back, Whitehaven junior Eli Phillips Eli Phillips 5'10" | 180 lbs | RB Whitehaven | 2024 TN is a guy I have my eye on as he could step into the role as starter next year for the Tigers and someone that could boost his recruiting stock this offseason. Three others that will be there Sunday to watch are Harrison Edwards Harrison Edwards 5'8" | 170 lbs | ATH Lebanon | 2025 TN (Mt. Juliet), Josiah Featherstone Josiah Featherstone 5'9" Red Bank | 2025 TN (Red Bank) and Seth Hackney Seth Hackney 5'9" | 185 lbs | RB Portland | 2025 TN from Portland.
For the receivers, we have an interesting crop of guys performing at camp that many may not know about right now but will in due time. The two guys who jump out on the page for me is junior Shawne Jones Shawne Jones 6'2" | 190 lbs | WR Houston | 2024 State TN from Houston and Memp. Central rising sophomore Yasir Muhammad Yasir Muhammad 6'0" | 175 lbs | DB Germantown | 2025 State TN . These two West Tennessee products have physical traits that college coaches like, especially Jones with his size and hands and Muahmmad with his athleticism and speed.
Three other receivers who stand out on the prospect list for me are Maclean Copeland Maclean Copeland 5'10" | 165 lbs | WR Page | 2025 TN (Page), Derrick Miller Derrick Miller 5'10" | 165 lbs | WR Houston | 2025 TN (Houston) and Hunter Mullen Hunter Mullen 6'1" | 175 lbs | WR Independence | 2026 TN from Independence. All three guys can run and bring athletic traits to the position with Miller having the upside to play either side of the ball.
Two tight ends to mention that will be at Oakland High School on Sunday are junior Bladen DePriest Bladen DePriest 6'4" | 225 lbs | TE Milan | 2024 TN from Milan and Knox. Halls rising sophomore Drew Ross Drew Ross 6'3" | 215 lbs | TE Knox. Halls | 2025 TN .
Moving down into the trenches on the offensive line, this is a lite group for the Winter Showcase this time around but we have some interesting prospects to watch in camp. Three juniors to know about and keep watch this weekend are Brian Taylor Brian Taylor 6'3" | 285 lbs | OL Briarcrest Christian | 2024 TN from Briarcrest Christian and Knox. Catholic teammates Dominic Clifford Dominic Clifford 6'1" | 280 lbs | OL Baylor | 2024 TN and Andon Mashburn Andon Mashburn 6'4" | 320 lbs | OL Knoxville Catholic | 2024 TN . Taylor sits as a fringe D1 guy at the moment and an interior mauler who could improve his stock this offseason. Clifford could develop himself into one of the best center prospects in the state while Mashburn is a big boy that punishes opponents with his run blocking.
A few other talented O-linemen that will be in attendance to follow are Austin Williams Austin Williams 6'5" | 290 lbs | OL Gibson Co. | 2024 TN (Gibson Co.), Mykel Slusher Mykel Slusher 6'2" | 275 lbs | OL William Blount | 2024 TN (William Blount), Isaiah Tisor Isaiah Tisor 6'2" | 315 lbs | OL David Crockett | 2024 TN (David Crockett), Alex Boyd Alex Boyd 6'4" | 280 lbs | OL Maryville | 2025 TN (Maryville), Brady Smith Brady Smith 6'2" | 260 lbs | OL CPA | 2025 State TN (CPA), Cason Agnew Cason Agnew 6'1" | 265 lbs | OL Stewarts Creek | 2025 TN (Stewarts Creek) and Briarcrest freshman Andre Amos, Jr Andre Amos, Jr 6'3" | 305 lbs | OL Briarcrest Christian | 2026 State TN , Jr.
Defense
– Before we dive deep into the defensive prospects, one guy to mention that is listed as a tight end but might have more upside at linebacker is Cannon Co. junior Tucker Kyne Tucker Kyne 6'5" | 225 lbs | ATH Cannon Co. | 2024 State TN . This 6’4 215 pound two-way talent is athletic with great size along with some serious bend as an edge rusher, so it will be interesting to see if he competes on just offense or goes both ways, showing off the athletic upside.
Looking over the entire crop of defenders for Sunday, we got some serious talent that will be on hand. Beginning in the trenches, senior lineman Micah Daniels Micah Daniels 6'3" Westview | 2023 TN leads the way as one of the handful of upperclassmen who could boost his stock this weekend.
The junior class from the D-line will be well represented in Murfreesboro this weekend with Mason Ball Mason Ball 6'5" | 260 lbs | DL Elizabethton | 2024 State TN (Elizabethton), Elijah Bradley Elijah Bradley 6'4" | 225 lbs | DL Oak Ridge | 2024 State TN (Oak Ridge) and Chase McConnell Chase McConnell 6'5" | 215 lbs | TE Watertown | 2024 TN from Watertown headlining the group. Ball is one guy who could really boost his stock further as he is already on the cusp of adding D1 offers and a strong performance this weekend could force those offers to come his way.
Besides the juniors that will be in attendance, we have a strong group of underclassmen headed to the Middle Tennessee area this weekend as well. Some of the top names to keep an eye on at camp include Atticus Fiorita Atticus Fiorita 6'4" | 225 lbs | DL Mt. Juliet | 2025 State TN (Mt. Juliet), Garrett Hagan Garrett Hagan 6'3" | 240 lbs | DL Houston | 2025 State TN and Kedrick Donald Kedrick Donald 6'0" | 245 lbs | DL Houston | 2025 TN from Houston, Connor Coffman Connor Coffman 6'5" | 265 lbs | OL Page | 2025 State TN (Page), Kamar Houston, who comes from Oxford, Mississippi and stud freshman Carson Sneed Carson Sneed 6'6" | 240 lbs | TE DCA | 2026 State TN from DCA.
Possibly the deepest position group of all from both sides of the ball will be the linebackers. We got some serious studs headed to Oakland this Sunday that will be on display and ready to boost their recruiting stocks even further.
Farragut junior Jack Alley Jack Alley 6'2" | 215 lbs | LB Farragut | 2024 State TN will be there and right now, he is considered a Top 10 in-state linebacker that has D1 abilities and upside written all over him. Cooper Cameron Cooper Cameron 6'1" | 215 lbs | LB Knox. Webb | 2024 State TN from Knox. Webb is a big, physically impressive looking young man that has the size and skill set that plays up well on the next level. Two rising sophomores that we will have in attendance that will be future college players are teammates Eric Hazzard Eric Hazzard 6'3" | 255 lbs | DL Page | 2025 State TN and Brenden Anes Brenden Anes 6'2" | 220 lbs | LB Page | 2025 State TN from Page. Both these guys are studs who had breakthrough years this past Fall season.
Besides those four, a few other standouts to keep watch on Sunday are juniors Jamarion Farrior Jamarion Farrior 6'0" | 195 lbs | LB South Pittsburg | 2024 State TN (South Pittsburg), Ethan Kimes Ethan Kimes 6'1" | 210 lbs | LB Wilson Cent. | 2024 TN (Wilson Central), Morgan Holzapfel Morgan Holzapfel 5'11" | 200 lbs | LB Montgomery Bell Academy | 2024 TN (MBA) and Caden Mcmahan Caden Mcmahan 6'0" | 185 lbs | ATH Ooltewah | 2024 TN from Ooltewah as well as stud freshman backer Stanley Burrow Stanley Burrow 6'0" Freedom prep | 2025 TN from Freedom Prep.
Wrapping up our preview with the defensive backs, a few names immediately standout here when looking over the prospect list. The first one that jumps off the page is Briarcrest Christian junior Kollin Collier Kollin Collier 6'1" | 180 lbs | DB Munford | 2024 State TN . This 6’2 long armed and athletic defender has all the potential to turn himself into a Power Five prospect this offseason and that grind starts this weekend.
Westview junior Cam Davis Cam Davis 6'0" | 200 lbs | RB Westview | 2024 State TN is an intriguing talent that is well built physically and sports the athleticism and versatility to play on either side of the ball in college. He is listed as a DB for this combine but his talents at running back interests me the most.
It’s not a deep group of defensive backs that we have this weekend but a few other guys to pay attention to are Holden Day Holden Day 6'0" | 180 lbs | DB Briarcrest Christian | 2024 TN (Briarcrest), Kaleb Taylor from Austin, Alabama and a pair of talented freshmen in Knight Wilson Knight Wilson 6'0" | DB Page | 2026 TN from Page and Brainered two-way talent Reggie Hubbard Reggie Hubbard 5'9" | 160 lbs | WR Cleveland | 2026 TN .
This weekend will be a great kick-off to the camp circuit and the crop of talent headed for Murfreesboro will get the jump start on their offseason grind by taking in good teaching from the Prep Redzone coaches as well as helping their recruitments with strong combine performances.
