Prep Redzone NC Showcase – A Few More Offensive Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We recently had the Prep Redzone NC Showcase at Rocky River High School. There were a number of offensive standouts throughout the showcase – let's take a look at a few more of them right here:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>OL - [player_tooltip player_id='371858' first='Trenton' last='McGill'] - A 2025 prospect from Clover HS in SC, I have seen Trenton up close a couple of times and I like his potential. He has a good-sized frame at 6'2 and 260 pounds that he can continue to build with two more years left before the next level. I like his physicality and consistent effort, both in camp settings and in his film. Good footwork and hand placement in the run game is going to be his calling card for sure. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>OL - [player_tooltip player_id='574937' first='James' last='Napier'] - Another 2025 OL prospect who had a good showcase in my opinion. Playing for Garner HS, he showed his value already on the OL this past season. He has a good frame to continue to get bigger with, standing at 6'1 and 240 pounds. His film shows a couple of nice knockdown blocks playing the Center position - he already has good value in being able to snap and step simultaneously at a good level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>QB - [player_tooltip player_id='351827' first='Zach' last='Lawrence'] - The 2025 QB prospect came into this showcase with Division 1 offers and interest, and he looked every bit of the talent that he is. Excellent technique on dropbacks and different catch and throw rhythms were impressive. He displayed very good arm strength on a wide variety of throws, and he moved well throughout the individual drill portion of the showcase. The Butler HS product will continue to impress with two more years left in his high school career. He is listed as 6'2 and 200 pounds. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>QB - [player_tooltip player_id='142902' first='Brady' last='Hibbard'] - I have covered this 2024 prospect a couple of times, and he looks great after suffering an injury that kept him out of the state playoffs for his Forest Hills football team. Listed at 6'3 and 190 pounds, he has the size that colleges like to see in the position. Very strong arm and good technique in delivering the football all throughout the showcase was great to see. He has received college-level interest, which I will expect will turn into offers sooner than later. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>QB - Elijah Oehlke - This 2025 prospect from Grays Creek HS in Hope Mills definitely caught my eye as it was my first time seeing him up close. Standing at 6'1 and 185 pounds, I liked how well he moved and threw during the individual portion of the showcase. He will continue to grow with two years left in his HS career, and he already has done some really nice things on the football field. He was named a top performer thanks to his efforts throughout the showcase. On his film, he shows some dual-threat ability and the arm talent to make a wide variety of throws. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>TE - [player_tooltip player_id='302853' first='Bryce' last='Rothwell'] - I have seen Bryce a couple of times now and he was the best TE prospect here at this showcase. Very fluid, has good speed, and catches the ball well with his hands. From Lucy Beckham HS in SC, he stands at 6'4 and 245 pounds and is a devastating blocker on film in the run game. I think he can do more in the passing game as well - he may be a bit under the radar right now, but he will be a very good value for schools on the next level as they continue to update their recruiting boards. He has been receiving Division 1 interest already. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
