The Colorado Prospect Tour kicks off tomorrow, which happens to be during the third day of the NFL Draft. Watching former high school standouts achieve the ultimate dream for many players can inspire current prep athletes to continue developing their craft in hopes of landing a college scholarship and the opportunity to continue playing the sport.
One of the more rewarding aspects of being a scout writer is recognizing top-tier talent during the earlier stages and watching as they progress through their journey. After a quick glimpse of the registered attendees for Saturday’s event, a few names immediately stood out as players to be excited to see.
This article will briefly look at eight offensive attendees to watch who currently hold real estate on the radar, starting with the top three quarterbacks.
Quarterbacks
Ryken Daugaard Ryken Daugaard 6'2" | 175 lbs | QB Lutheran | 2024 State CO (2024) from Lutheran is no stranger to Prep Redzone events. Daugaard completed his impressive junior season as a 3A state runner-up and will be entering his senior campaign with the expectation of returning to the final.
CT Worley CT Worley 6'2" | 210 lbs | QB Broomfield | 2025 State CO (2025) from Broomfield is arguably the more anticipated quarterback prospect heading into the fall. Even though he had to bide his time behind a current Wisconsin Badger, Worley has recently garnered attention from some of the more prominent programs in the country. Worley’s junior season will lay the foundation for his future as a recruit, making him an attendee with one of the brightest spotlights.
The third big name on the list is Cherry Creek’s Brady Vodicka Brady Vodicka 6'1" | 205 lbs | QB Cherry Creek | 2026 CO (2026), whose high school debut season ended with a ring. He was part of an early rotation featuring two additional quarterbacks before earning the starting tag for most of the season. Vodicka started to build his reputation during his junior high days and has become one of the more anticipated young players in the state.
Skill Positions
One of the more familiar names on the list is James Basinger James Basinger 5'10" | 195 lbs | RB Columbine | 2025 State CO (2025) from Columbine. Basinger is an elite running back who brings the same formidable playing style to the defensive side of the ball as a member of the secondary. Basinger is a two-time MVP from the previous Prep Redzone events in Colorado who will enter this event with the potential of landing a hat trick.
Jack Offerdahl Jack Offerdahl 6'0" | 180 lbs | ATH Dakota Ridge | 2026 CO (2026) from Dakota Ridge is a do-all athlete with one of the highest ceilings in the class. Getting eyes on one of the freshmen with high expectations is a must, especially during the combine testing. Ja’Pree Jennings Ja’Pree Jennings 5'6" | WR Mountain Vista | 2026 CO (2026) from Mountain Vista is an explosive route runner who made a name for himself during his time with a nationally recognized youth team during his junior high days. His freshman season provided a glimpse into what he offers to an offense, making Jennings a player to watch during the event.
Junior running back Luciano Tafoya Luciano Tafoya 5'6" | 175 lbs | RB ThunderRidge | 2024 State CO (2024) and wide receiver Jackson Archambault Jackson Archambault 6'1" | 180 lbs | WR Summit | 2024 CO (2024) are two names that also stood out on the list. Tafoya is a player from ThunderRidge who popped up on the radar at a camp last summer by showcasing an impressive set of fundamentals and intangibles. Archambault is a two-way athlete from Summit who has the makings of a legitimate sleeper. He has set a significantly high bar for himself so far, making him a player to be excited about seeing in person.
