Prep Redzone Louisiana’s latest rankings updates wrapped up last month, but more student-athletes are popping onto the radar and watch lists to monitor heading into the next round of updates this summer.
Here are six more current juniors to keep an eye as we receive more film and get out to spring practices on the horizon later this month.
Moses Gray Jr. — 6-0, 200 RB — St. Augustine
The Purple Knights compiled their best regular-season record this fall since Leonard Fournette’s senior season in 2013. And, against a challenging schedule from start to finish, St. Augustine consistently relied on Gray in big moments and big games. The junior back is a big, physical runner who excels with his powerful, downhill style, but also shows enough speed to bounce out off tackle for bigger gains.
Adravien Harness — 6-1, 160 ATH — St. Helena
Whether at the line as a receiver or cornerback or in the box or coming downhill as a safety, the Hawks’ two-way standout is a physical player who doesn’t shy away from competition or contact. Harness earned all-district recognition as a defensive back this fall and should be a notable prospect to watch for a St. Helena squad replacing a few key 2023 graduates this year.
Henry Lee Jr. — 6-1, 170 WR/DB — East Jefferson
Southeastern Louisiana recently extended the first scholarship offer to the Warriors’ versatile, three-phase playmaker. Lee is a long and lean, but physical athlete with quick feet and good instincts and speed that East Jefferson has tried to get involved in as many ways as possible as a corner, receiver, running back and on return and coverage units.
Donovan McGowan — 5-10, 170 WR/ATH — Mandeville
The speedy and versatile partner-in-crime to 2025 Vanderbilt target Nate Sheppard Nate Sheppard 5'11" | 185 lbs | RB Mandeville | 2025 State LA on the Skippers’ offense lists a 4.55-second 40-yard dash the team uses to burn opponents in as many ways as possible. McGowan is a consistent, reliable receiver that can stretch defenses vertical on deep routes and is also a constant home-run threat in the screen and return games with his strength and balance to shed attempted tackles and get into open space and upfield in a hurry.
Tyreek Robinson Tyreek Robinson 5'9" | 150 lbs | ATH Evangel Christian | 2024 State LA — 5-9, 160 ATH — Evangel
The dual-sport, two-way standout’s track marks — 24.83-meter long jump and 10.9-second 100-meter dash — speak to the explosiveness and speed with which he excels on the football field. Robinson is a deep threat for the Eagles’ offense with good timing, leap and body control to go up for passes at a high level for his size and plays with good instincts, fluid hips and closing speed as a corner on the other side of the ball.
Kenias St. Romain — 6-2, 210 LB — DeRidder
The recruiting process has started to gain some steam for St. Romain — including Wright State and Lamar offers — on the heels of a productive, all-district junior campaign of 85 tackles, including 11 for loss. The Dragons’ standout did most of his damage as an edge rusher with good size and length and a quick burst into opposing backfields, but showed good versatility to move inside or out into coverage.
