By now the news has spread across the Sunshine and to areas across the country.
Last Saturday’s Gamechangers Prep Redzone Football Showcase certainly helped to shine the spotlight on some rising and established football talent that many hadn’t had the chance to uncover.
As the athletes and their families were promised before the event began at IMG Academy, every player that attended would be talked about and get exposed. Something that NO OTHER event of its kind can claim.
From our MVPs that we brought you on Sunday – to video coverage (https://twitter.com/PrepRedzone/status/1648025287047761920?s=20) and photos, each day we will bring you six prospects to keep an eye on.
Here is a look at today’s spotlight of some more talent that turned heads and caught the attention of the college coaches on hand.
The idea of the exposure is not only to put names out one time from this particular showcase, but to continue to send out PROSPECT SPOTLIGHTS with video links and social media contacts over the next year!
Check these six young men out:
2025 – Ethan Ball Ethan Ball 5'9" | 195 lbs | LB Vero Beach St.Edward's | 2025 FL , LB, 5-9, 185, Vero Beach St. Edward’s. When it came to testing and wanting to get every rep possible, here is your man. While he may be undersized, this rising junior more than makes up for it with his passion and versatility. Gaining over 15 pounds in the past two years, he has emerged as a leader – as his 74 tackles will certainly back up. He is aggressive and knows how to read the flow of the play as he did during the one-on-one competition. His impressive work in the classroom (3.8 GPA) is also a huge asset to colleges checking out what he brings to the table. This is certainly someone who makes the most of every opportunity.
2024 – Blake Brewer, OL, 6-2, 270, Miami Christopher Columbus. Easily one of the top line prospects among a large group, his technique and ability to sustain blocks impressed plenty of coaches who watched him throughout the event. Will be a valuable asset for the defending 4M state champions this coming season. His work during the testing and drills as well as the one-on-one competition drew raves. This is a hard working young man who enjoyed the event.
2024 – Landon Campbell Landon Campbell 6'2" | 245 lbs | OL Niceville | 2024 FL , OL/DL, 6-2, 245, Niceville. Very few prospects headed to this event with as much passion and emotion and this young man who traveled over 400 miles and a time zone change to showcase his many skills. Great feet, tremendous upper body strength and will get after you each and every play. The coaches were blown away by what he brought to the camp. Someone who will have a banner spring and summer.
2026 – Chadwicke Cannon Chadwicke Cannon 6'2" | 265 lbs | DL Port Spruce Creek | 2026 State FL , DL, 6-3, 265, Port Orange Spruce Creek. For recruiting websites who sit home and rarely get the chance to see up-and-coming talent, we will save you time by introducing you to someone who is definitely the next up. Big, agile and a prospect who has proven that when the 2023 season begins, he will be a sophomore that you will want to keep an eye on. His quick feet and athleticism are two things that stick out. He is also a student in the classroom (3.9 GPA), which is a major advantage in the recruiting process.
2025 – Marc Michel Jr Marc Michel Jr 6'3" | 275 lbs | DL Ridge Community | 2025 FL ., OT, 6-3, 275, Davenport Ridge Community. Yet another of those promising young men who made his way to the event not to blend in, but to show out – and he never disappointed. Singled out several times for what he did during the drills and one-on-one competition, there is no getting around the fact that his someone who is emerging and will be a prospect to keep an eye on in a very talented Polk County. There’s so much to like about this quality talent.
2025 – Braylon Smith, DL, 6-1, 275, Tampa Gaither. What this event did was not only showcase the rising senior class but also give a glimpse into the future – and with this quality talent – it is certainly bright. A true run stopper who continues to get better and learn more about the position. His quickness off the ball was evident in the drills and one-on-ones. No matter who he went against, it was always a battle. The only thing that will separate him from getting to that next level is experience and learning technique. His attitude is amazing and his passion for the game is what you need.
