<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Welcome back high school football fans! It's about that time of the year when the Prep Redzone Tour returns to Colorado for an event like none other! On Thursday night, some of the more premier high school football players in all of the Centennial State and even from nearby places will compete for a chance to show what they are made of in front of coaches, scouts, and football junkies galore. After hosting a successful Colorado showcase back in April, Prep Redzone is back at it again! With that being said, which names will leave the best impression Thursday night with their electric type of play? </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>DL [player_tooltip player_id='209842' first='Ethan' last='Bird'] Littleton Sr. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#13 Position Rank, #114 Overall </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The last time [player_tooltip player_id='209842' first='Ethan' last='Bird'] last participated in a Colorado showcase, he ended up with MVP honors and was a one-man wrecking ball when it came to positional drills, individual testing, and showing off his overall instincts at the defensive line position. Don't be surprised if Bird balls out yet again later this evening. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/_Ethan_Bird13/status/1597457602304413696","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/_Ethan_Bird13/status/1597457602304413696 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>QB [player_tooltip player_id='251318' first='Benjamin' last='Noblitt'] 6'1" 185 Vista Ridge Soph. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#4 Position Rank, #19 Overall </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Transferring down the road from Palmer Ridge to Vista Ridge prior to the beginning of the season, Ben Noblitt will partake in tonight's festivities to show off his arm talent and multitude of abilities in front of scouts and coaches galore. Spending time backing up one of the state's top quarterback prospects in [player_tooltip player_id='22744' first='Brayden' last='Dorman'] this last season, it is now Noblitt's turn under center to show what he is made of. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BenNoblitt/status/1601663831947694080","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BenNoblitt/status/1601663831947694080 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>OT [player_tooltip player_id='323479' first='Blane' last='Brakemeier'] 6'3" 242 Heritage Jr. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#15 Position Rank, #114 Overall</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fresh off of his junior season where he earned Class 4A Rocky Mountain Conference 2nd Team All-League offensive line honors, Brakemeier possesses the perfect build at the left tackle position and should only get even bigger and stronger. Also capable of being a two-way player as a defensive lineman, Brakemeier is as athletic as they come serving as the anchor of the offensive line for a solid Heritage team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Heritagefootbal/status/1600278262290460672","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Heritagefootbal/status/1600278262290460672 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>OL [player_tooltip player_id='220428' first='Carson' last='Caplan'] 6'3" 290 Pine Creek Jr. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#5 Position Rank, #9 Overall </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top interior offensive lineman that the Centennial State has to offer, there is no denying that [player_tooltip player_id='220428' first='Carson' last='Caplan'] is an absolute unit. Bulking up this season to a rock-solid 290 pounds which helps him push back opposing defensive lineman, Caplan has showcased phenomenal skills in his pass and run blocking and is expected to put on a show later tonight. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/caplan_carson/status/1590032555973414912","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/caplan_carson/status/1590032555973414912 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>WR [player_tooltip player_id='230322' first='Jordan' last='Rechel'] 5'11" 165 Fairview Jr. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#1 Position Rank, #1 Overall</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An All-Conference first-team wide receiver with even some defensive back play sprinkled in-between, the junior out of Fairview has quickness that cannot be taught. No question, Rechel possesses the necessary talent to be successful wherever he plays. Be on the lookout for the skilled wideout's crisp route running and strong hands to be on display all evening long. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/RechelJordan/status/1599990413099614208","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/RechelJordan/status/1599990413099614208 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>RB [player_tooltip player_id='276508' first='James' last='Basinger'] 5'9" 166 Columbine Soph. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#2 Position Rank, #12 Overall </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Although Basinger was given limited opportunities during his sophomore campaign, one glimpse of the shifty Basinger with the ball in his possession further informs folks that he has the talent to be a top back within the box state for years to come. Not only does Basinger use his tremendous ball-carrier vision to his advantage, but he also has the capability to be a strong component in the passing game with a pair of good hands and quick feet that help him run routes just as good as any wide receiver. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BasingerJames25/status/1579645964075565058","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BasingerJames25/status/1579645964075565058 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
