Early Look: Notable 2026 Prospects

As the high school football off-season brings about college camp visits and seven-on-seven events, Prep Redzone will be taking a look at some stock riser prospects that deserve recognition in their respective positions and classifications. For this week, redzone scout Drew Johnson will be highlighting some of the instrumental recruits that have consistently produced and seen an uptick in their recent recruitments. As noted frequently, Prep Redzone Florida aims to provide adequate coverage on all athletes for college coaches At All Levels and readers to evaluate. Let's get into some of the stats, Hudl films, and recent offers from some of the rising recruits in the state of Florida.   [player_tooltip player_id='1206198' first='Naeem' last='Burroughs'] | WR | Bolles | @Duece2_ | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13636677/Naeem-Burroughs">Hudl</a>   6'0, 160   Burroughs is already set with a nice and fluid build that he uses in his slick route running combined with track speed on the gridiron. He recently dominated the scene at the UA Next camp while showing off reliable hands and good hand work to fight off defenders at the release. Burroughts recorded 37 receptions for 719 yards and 8 touchdowns for the Class 2M Bolles Bulldogs. The rising freshman has received recent offers from UCF, Penn State, and FSU.     [player_tooltip player_id='401431' first='Kenyon' last='Alston'] | WR | Orlando Christian Prep | @KenyonAlston | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18017846/Kenyon-Alston">Hudl</a>   6'2, 172   Alston has been performing well during the 7-on-7 circuit with 24K's 15U squad that played in the 18U bracket at the DRSportz tournament in Fort Pierce. Alston was named OCP's Freshman of the Year following the fall season. The promising freshman finished with 20 receptions for 245 yards and 3 touchdowns, good enough for second on the team. I expect Alston to develop his overall game and continue being a top prospect in 2026 class.     [player_tooltip player_id='401364' first='Ayden' last='Pouncey'] FS/DB | Winter Park | @AydenPouncey | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17333824/Ayden-Pouncey">Hudl</a>   6'3, 160   Pouncey is a long and athletic prospect that can generate interest around his recruitment just because of his well built frame and potential upside. Another 24k stud that has the talent and skillset to produce at multiple positions and on both sides. Pouncey recorded just 13 total tackles with 1 INT but expect his name to be household before his senior season. Has received offers from Purdue and Connecticut.     [player_tooltip player_id='401418' first='Jerry' last='Thomas'] | WR | Lake Gibson | @JerryBeast2026   6'2, 175   Thomas has immense upside and is a prospect that needs to be on all Florida coache's radar. Iv'e had the opportunity to watch his game develop since performing in various P5 camps last summer. He's only continuing to add weight to his long frame and could put on another two inches of height. Thomas has really good route running skills with reliable hands for just a freshman. This will be his year to dominate at the receiver position for Lake Gibson High.   [player_tooltip player_id='1368296' first='Larry' last='Miles'] | ATH | West Orange | @d1larry123 | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17699764/Larry-Miles">Hudl</a>   5'11, 158   Miles has showed off good speed and football IQ to be a producer on either side of the ball. Has played really good football this offseason and is another riser that plays for 24K, which obviously has some of the top 2026 recruits listed in the state of Florida. Miles is no different and is another dog with perimeter playmaking ability that flashes good speed and solid route running. He finished his freshman season with 22 receptions for 380 yards and 4 touchdowns.   Stats: 22 receptions, 380 yards, 4 TD     Best of the Rest:   [player_tooltip player_id='927717' first='Jayden' last='Petit'] | WR | First Baptist Academy | @JaydenPetit12   6'4, 180   Stats: 8 games, 18 receptions, 233 yards, 3 TD   Anthony Gay | ATH | Wekiva | @AnthonyGayIII1 | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18273606/Anthony-Gay">Hudl</a>   5'5, 156   Stats: 23 receptions, 336 yards, 5 TD* tied     Omari Russel | DB | Fort Meade | @omari_russel | <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16371503/Omari-Russell">Hudl</a>   6'0, 160   Stats: 29 total tackles, 1.0 TFL, 3.0 INT *     Alijah Flash Jenkins | WR | Osceola (Kissimmee) | @AlijahFlash | <a href="https://www.bing.com/search?q=alijah+flash+jenkins+hudl&cvid=0d586a81fa0042d285e1e77715f021f7&aqs=edge..69i57.4967j0j9&FORM=ANAB01&PC=HCTS">Hudl</a>   5'8, 160   Stats: 15 receptions, 145 yards, 1 TD
