Stock Risers: New To The 2024 Rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Some new names have entered the 2024 Prep Red Zone rankings update. Here is a look at a few of the new arrivals.</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='668865' first='Jadis' last='Jones'] | 6'5" 200 | WR | New Madrid County Central |</strong><br>Jones is one of the top two sport athletes in the state of Missouri. Primarily known for his basketball skills since he was an 8th grader, Jadis really had a breakout season on the football field using his length and speed to haul in 38 catches for 889 yards and 19 touchdowns his junior year. He has tremendous leaping ability and hands that translate well to the football field. This has made colleges take notice of his football skills and led to recent offers from Northern Iowa, Murray State and Southeast Missouri. He enters the rankings at number 24.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='668864' first='Bleyne' last='Bryant'] | 6'2" 190 | ATH | Bowling Green |</strong><br>Coming in at number 24 in the rankings is Bowling Green's best football prospect in recent memory. The speedy Bryant did a little bit of everything for the Bobcats in 2022. He rushed for over 1,000 yards and had 200 yards receiving. I saw Bleyne's potential first at a combine in Columbia, and he recently was named a top performer at the Elite Football Combine and earned an invite to the ACS All-Star game later this year. He has the potential to play on either side of the ball with his skill and athleticm as college coaches will determine his best position. He is up to 6 offers now with Wyoming, South Dakota State and Miami University joining Colorado State, Ball State and Eastern Illinois as having offered.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='720085' first='Antwon' last='McKay'] | 6'2" 185 | QB | Cardinal Ritter |</strong><br>I thought McKay was the Lions best QB prospect last year as a sophomore, and he elevated his game more during his junior season. That helped him come into the rankings at number 30. His improvement showed as he helped lead his team to it's first state championship along with sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='299504' first='Carson' last='Boyd']. Antwon enjoyed the competition and took Boyd under his wing helping him learn the offense and become a better quarterback himself in the process. He displays very good touch and accuracy on his short, intermediate and especially his long passes. He has a good ability to hit his receivers in stride on deep balls with good timing, a strong arm and impressive accuracy. McKay also has the wheels to make plays happen with his legs though he is more of a traditional QB. Northern Iowa has offered.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='668866' first='Tyrese' last='Reid'] | 6'5" 240 | DE | Webster Groves |</strong><br>Entering the rankings new at number 34 on the list is the promising [player_tooltip player_id='668866' first='Tyrese' last='Reid'], who had a breakout season as a junior. College coaches noticed his length, quick first step and athleticism. He's raw but has all the tools you look for as a D1 prospect and will continue to get better over the next year and beyond. This is why schools such as Northern Iowa, Eastern Illinois and Lindenwood University all recently offered. Ball State is another school that may be close to offering.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
