5 Recruits In The 2024 Class With Something To Prove Next Fall

<!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='603982' first='Jarrin' last='Alley'] - Bloomington South - QB - 6'2" 195lbs - 2024</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alley will be a very intriguing prospect to watch this coming fall. He's going to be a Senior and hasn't started a full season yet, but when he's been on the field he's looked pretty good. He's got a quick release and knows where to go with the ball. He's able to go through most progression reads and usually makes quick decisions with the ball in his hands. He's got a fantastic arm and can put it on a rope. Consistency and footwork are to be determined but the raw potential is there. He understands when under pressure to set his feet and let it rip. Through his 80 passing attempts thus far in his career he's averaging over 11.4 yards per pass. He's pushing the ball downfield and not afraid to take his chances. I think there's a lot to like with Alley and what he can do. He's raw but absolutely has the tools to be successful at the next level. It'll be up to him to put it all together this fall, and if he does, his recruitment could really blow up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Twitter: <strong>@AlleyJarrin</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14458555/Jarrin-Alley">https://www.hudl.com/profile/14458555/Jarrin-Alley</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='603981' first='Nolan' last='McCullough'] - Penn - QB - 6'2" 205lbs - 2024</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McCullough is a fantastic athlete and makes the most of his ability with the ball in his hands. Whether it's simply dropping back and putting it on a line to his receiver or taking off and making a highlight run, he's more than capable. Running the ball, he's dangerous. He's much faster than defenses expect, has incredible agility that let's him make guys look silly, and then can re-accelerate with the best of them. He's ripped off some pretty incredible looking TD runs and looked unscathed at times. McCullough is also fairly good at throwing on the run, especially to his right. It's something where he's so good that it should be implemented in whatever offense he lands in at the next level. The arm talent is there in the pocket as well. I think for McCullough, being able to dissect defenses and getting up to speed with his footwork will be the biggest things for him, but once he gets there he could be a fantastic starter at the next level. He's got a lot of raw tools and ability that may need some patience and polishing while he learns and makes mistakes, but if a coach is patient, they could be rewarded with a Star QB.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Twitter: <strong>@NolanMcc26</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14894358/Nolan-McCullough">https://www.hudl.com/profile/14894358/Nolan-McCullough</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='285859' first='Thomas' last='Lynch'] - Providence - RB - 5'8" 150lbs - 2024</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lynch is a dynamic back who has really developed nicely over the past few years. What's cool about covering guys on Prep Redzone is getting to see them develop and come along. Thomas was one of the first players I covered way back when and today, he's much more improved and it's cool to see these guys grow on and off the field. I've even met Lynch at a camp this past summer where he was polite and looked good on the field. His feet are quick, his eyes match, and those 2 things are in perfect harmony. Lynch is as shifty as they come and can be hard to bring down. He's able to make just about anyone miss and is a threat out of the backfield. A nasty combination that Providence has fallen in love with since Lynch arrived. In his 2 years in Varsity, Lynch has put up over 2000 scrimmage yards and 15 total TDs. He's been consistent over the first 2 years and if he could come out and take another step forward, I think it'll do quite a bit for him. He's got the ability to be a fantastic back at the next level. Hit the weight room some before he graduates and I think Lynch can be a back who fits multiple systems at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Twitter: <strong>@ThomasLynch2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZKvyDi3lSA">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZKvyDi3lSA</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='322411' first='Antonio' last='Harris'] - Castle - RB/WR - 6'1" 175lbs - 2024</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harris is a dynamic player who plays both RB and WR could go either way at the next level. Either way, the point that Castle has found is he's good with the ball in his hands. The more he touches the rock the more dangerous he gets. His almost 6 yards per carry and 16 yards per reception prove that. He's stretching the field and finding cutting lanes underneath. He's also operated out of the slot and out wide. Having a guy who has experience playing RB and WR coming in can be huge. Harris has shown a ton of flash and ability but he's yet to have a massive breakout year. His 501 yards on the ground and 315 through the air were big last year, but I think he's capable of more. Whether it's in the backfield or lining up at WR, I think he's got quite a bit of potential. His ball-skills and ability to just make plays are natural. He's a rangy athlete and hungry to learn. A fun prospect to watch as he could easily put himself in a position to be very well-known in the recruiting race.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Twitter: <strong>@tonio__87</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14763443/Antonio-Harris">https://www.hudl.com/profile/14763443/Antonio-Harris</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id='136094' first='David' last='Sturdivant'] - West Noble - WR - 6'0" 165lbs - 2024</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sturdivant is a fun slot WR who can likely make an impact on Special Teams as well. He's quick off the line and shifty which makes me think he could be good at returning kicks. If not, the very least he'll be a good gunner as well. Offensively, he's a willing blocker in the running game as much as he gets the ball. I will say, West Noble is a bit more run orientated than most programs, but Sturdivant has at-least gotten enough to work to show the potential he's capable of. Sturdivant has good ball skills and can read some coverages and adjust accordingly on the fly. The route tree is developing but he's able to get open without a fully developed one. He's good after the catch and is able to pick up a ton of YAC when he's got the chance. He's getting better each year, has another year, and has a lot to like about his game which bodes well when looking at his recruitment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Twitter: <strong>@Sturd1vant</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>HUDL: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14480036/David-Sturdivant">https://www.hudl.com/profile/14480036/David-Sturdivant</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
