Brayden is certainly a Nebraska prospect to watch over the next several years that my Prep Redzone Nebraska scouts will keep high tabs on.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='325194' first='Josiah' last='Smith'], WR, Iowa Flex/Cedar Rapids, Iowa (2027)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":601021,"width":329,"height":216,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/01/Josiah-Smith-2-rotated-crop-480x316-1673918865.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-601021" width="329" height="216" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Golly, has Josiah really developed since I watched him last winter with much-improved hands as he caught EVERY ball that came his way for the Iowa Flex offense.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Josiah has turned the corner and developed as a route-runner as well. He needs a very small window to show off his very high athletic ability to grab that football and make a big play with his vertical and agile dexterity. Josiah already looks like a Division I-level prospect in our eyes, and if he can add more size and frame in the coming years, he can put a certified stamp on playing Division I football on Saturdays. Looking forward to seeing him ball out this weekend at our Prep Redzone NEXT Midwest Camp!</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1906865' first='Tate' last='Olsen'], ATH, Level Up/Des Moines, Iowa (2027)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":601028,"width":318,"height":209,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/01/Tate-Olsen-rotated-crop-480x316-1673918982.jpg?w=480" alt="" class="wp-image-601028" width="318" height="209" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Tate showed off some long-range in his dexterity levels, extending his body for the ball with a high potential of athleticism of what is come over the next several years in his development.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>He also impressed me with his awareness, no matter where he was on the field, as he tapped into the football IQ element of his game.
