<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The secondary unit is an area that is constantly in the spotlight for either positive plays or negative plays. Both safeties and cornerbacks can keep an air attack grounded as well as move up to help stop the rushing attack of the opponents. Today's article is going focus on the class of 2025 secondary prospects that are ready to make a big impact in 2023.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='691309' first='Superior' last='Hill']-Cinco Ranch-5'10” 155-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Cinco Ranch cornerback does an excellent job of playing the ball while it is in the air.  Hill has the speed to cause problems for opposing wide receivers. He can cover the slot or the outside receiver spots with impressive effectiveness. Hill is not afraid to get physical with opposing wide receivers. Hill is a playmaker in the secondary for Cinco Ranch and he has the ability to take it the opposite direction. I look for Hill to have a strong season for Cinco Ranch this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16462028/636f43c5c1250a07c0f0682d">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16462028/636f43c5c1250a07c0f0682d</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='693019' first='Gil' last='Jackson']-George Ranch-6'2” 170-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='693019' first='Gil' last='Jackson'] has had a tremendous offseason. He has impressive versatility in the secondary and can play the safety or cornerback positions in impressive fashion. Jackson is a playmaker in the secondary and can impact a game on the defensive side of the ball. He has no problem separating the ball from the ball carrier. Jackson earned MVP Honors at the Football University camp in March. I look for Jackson to have a big 2023 season for George Ranch High School.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FVWzkWUCsY">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FVWzkWUCsY</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='281625' first='CJ' last='Wells']-Mesquite Horn-5'10” 165-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='281625' first='CJ' last='Wells'] is a cornerback that does a great job in coverage. Wells battles for the football and has no problem making plays on the ball. He is able to pick off passes and then take them back the other direction using his speed. Meanwhile, Wells is a cornerback that can step up and play the run as well as the pass. He does not shy away from making a tackle. Wells is a defensive back that has the potential to have a strong season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16942062/636fbdbe8cd4490e000e9512">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16942062/636fbdbe8cd4490e000e9512</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='581100' first='Scott' last='Fishpaw']-Coppell-6'0” 180-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='581100' first='Scott' last='Fishpaw'] is a safety that has no problem playing near the line of scrimmage. He does a great job of moving up to stop the opponent's rushing attack. Fishpaw does a nice job of wrapping up the ball carrier to make the tackle. He is effective dropping back into coverage and playing the ball when it is in the air. Fishpaw is a defensive back to watch out for this upcoming season. He has the talent to make an impact for Coppell this season,</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17610907/6372a949da516e0b543198dd">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17610907/6372a949da516e0b543198dd</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='277776' first='Sentel' last='Simpson']-Panther Creek-6'5” 180-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> Simpson is a versatile player that has seen action on both sides of the ball during his career. He has excellent size for the safety spot and tremendous hands. Simpson has the athletic ability to high point the football and is a playmaker on both sides of the ball. I look for Simpson to have a strong 2023 football season. No matter whether he is playing the offensive side of the ball or the defensive side of the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16230481/634ebc283df5830da826e6e4">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16230481/634ebc283df5830da826e6e4</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
