Continue ReadingThe Prep Redzone Stock-Up Showcase returned to Colorado this week, and the turnout could not have been better.
Over 100 student-athletes in attendance showed up to put in work and show out. Some participants made the trip from various parts of the country to attend the showcase, which is a testament to the value of these events’ value.
More often than not, the defensive back group tends to be the one with the fewest numbers, which means more reps. Deion Giles Ray was the MVP of the group, but there was a handful of talented defensive backs in attendance who deserve a closer look.
This article will take a close look at a few defensive backs from the Prep Redzone Stock-Up Showcase.
Rex Guthrie Rex Guthrie 6'1" | 200 lbs | DB Heritage | 2024 State CO | Heritage | 2024 S
Guthrie is a safety with good size and outstanding athleticism. He stood out early during the showcase by clocking a 4.6 in the 40-yard dash and being two inches shy of recording a 10-foot broad jump. During the individual portion of the event, his ability to take coaching and immediately apply the techniques to his reps was extremely impressive. Guthrie had a breakout junior season that should pave the way for him to become a breakout prospect.
Mikhail Benner Mikhail Benner 6'1" | 170 lbs | DB Broomfield | 2025 State CO | Broomfield | 2025 CB
Benner is a very talented cornerback whose sophomore season ended with an undefeated season and a 4A state championship. He is a physical corner with great instincts and a long wingspan. His athleticism allows him to be versatile when playing in different coverages, which significantly adds value to his stock as a prospect. Benner is easily one of the best cornerbacks north of the Denver area, making him a must-know player.
John Singleton Jr John Singleton Jr 5'11" | 145 lbs | ATH Broomfield | 2026 CO | Riverdale Ridge | 2026 CB
Singleton Jr is a young cornerback with raw talents and limitless potential. He is another long corner with a lengthy wingspan, and it looks as if he still has some growing to do. His ability to cover his man and defend against the deep ball makes it difficult to believe that he has not been playing the position for a long time. Singleton Jr is reasonably new to the radar, but he already has quite a few eyes looking in his direction.
Jack Offerdahl Jack Offerdahl 6'0" | 180 lbs | ATH Dakota Ridge | 2026 CO | Dakota Ridge | 2026 FS
Offerdahl is a talented player on his way to being one of the top athletes in his class. He has sharp movements and does a great job staying within his frame. His explosiveness out of his breaks gives him the ability to react quickly and make a play on the ball. Regardless of position, Offerdahl is a standout player whenever he is on the field.
