Notable P5 & FBS Offers Going Out Early this Fall Pt. 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With all of the can't-miss action going on throughout the gridirons of America's Heartland, it can be easy to forget that recruiting is still very much in full swing, and between the gameday visits, here-and-there officials, and Friday night evaluations, some major and notable D1 offers have been sent out to standout senior, junior, and sophomore ballers across the Midwest. Lucky for our wonderful readers, <em>PrepRedzone</em> has been tracking the most noteworthy of the FCS, FBS, and P5 offers earned by standout high school football players from North Dakota to Missouri, and everywhere in between. For some, it's their first opportunity to play big-time college football, and for others, that offer set off an explosion of attention, but one constant is that all these young men are seeing their hard work pay off and having quite a fun fall. Let's dig in! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>P.S. - stay tuned for part 2 coming tomorrow! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>--</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["322424"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"There's been a lot of recruiting movement in the Great State of Indiana during this burgeoning 2023 season, and offers started rolling early and often. One of the first to earn a significant offer was u003cemu003eAvon High School'su003c/emu003e 6'2, 185 lb. DB u003cstrongu003eRussellu003c/strongu003e u003cstrongu003ePetersonu003c/strongu003e, who only held an FCS Pioneer League opportunity from Butler University coming into the season. His offer sheet stepped up a notch early in September when FBS Northern Illinois offered a scholarship on September 3rd, a day after NIU got a big-time victory over ACC competitor Boston College in a thrilling 27-24 overtime victory. A week later, on September 11th, Eastern Michigan joined in on his recruitment with another MAC offer. u003cstrongu003ePetersonu003c/strongu003e has to be pumped about how his fall is going, and in his midseason senior tape, you can see a DB capable of manning both the high safety spot or play man coverage as a CB but with a skillset better suited to play safety at the next level. With noticeable length, I like u003cstrongu003ePeterson's u003c/strongu003eclosing speed on the ball and top-end speed to carry receivers down or across the field and hawk down loose ball carriers in pursuit in impressive fashion. Speaking of impressive, I also like how the 185 lber. is more than willing to come downhill and lay the wood. He takes solid angles to the football and keeps his feet active before sticking his cleat in the ground, loading up his hips, and exploding through contact. He runs the alley well and can tackle in space or around the box. Great to see him raise his stock thanks to the senior tape.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["685978"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"One of the big winners recruiting-wise at the midway point of this blooming 2023 high school football season, u003cemu003eRiver Falls High School'su003c/emu003e 6'6, 230 lb.

Two weeks later, North Dakota State added a heavyweight FCS offer. Mizzou, Yale, Kansas State, and Nebraska all have sent gameday invites as well. u003cstrongu003eJohnsonu003c/strongu003e reports a 4.69 40 and runs with the esteemed AAU program that is the Wisconsin Playmakers, and you can see that athleticism in his senior game tape, which shows off a TE with a balanced skillset who can do real damage in the passing and blocking game. u003cstrongu003eJohnson u003c/strongu003ecan flex out or do damage as an in-line TE as a receiving target, as he can possesses tons of length and can drop his hips and create separation at the top of the route, as well as burn DBs out of his breaks or when going vertical. He's also a very effective blocker who is strong enough to handle first level defensive linemen and coordinated enough to work to the second level and handle quicker defenders in space. Good technique and uses body positioning as well. No problem in the physicality department either. The state of Wisconsin has yet another high-ceiling TE prospect on their hands.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Daeden Hopkins ","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2025 ","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'6u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Hermann ","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"A Show-Me State standout who also entered the ranks of newly-minted P5 recruits, 6'6, 205 lb. u003cemu003eHermann High Schoolu003c/emu003e EDGE u003cstrongu003eDaeden Hopkinsu003c/strongu003e earned an exciting offer from Iowa State on September 9th after starting his junior year in convincing fashion on the gridiron.

To reinforce the athleticism, he also has a ton of game as a WR, where he possesses a ton of balance, especially through contact, as he's really hard for opposing defenders to tackle and slips through tackle attempts very easily. He tracks the ball well, covers a ton of ground with each step, and is a weapon after the catch. With so much length and a frame capable of blowing up in a collegiate Su0026amp;C program, the upside, especially considering his athletic gifts and tape, is intriguingly high.

Since September rolled around, he's earned offers from Mizzou, Kansas State, and Illinois, completing a trifecta of P5 conferences with a ton of time to hear from the ACC and PAC12 still this season. You don't find kids of u003cstrongu003eLange'su003c/strongu003e size who can move like him very often, as the 6'8er is coordinated, balanced, and a good athlete who can take off and cover ground in space and break down to handle second and third-level defenders. The LT is bendy, possesses a strong punch and times it out well when making initial contact, and has long arms that knock defenders off balance when he locks out. u003cstrongu003eLangeu003c/strongu003e is always working to finish and does a good job of corralling and staying engaged with slippery defenders. His frame displays the potential to hold and add an exciting amount of good weight, and his mobility and COD skills are already high-quality for a kid of his size and age. He's a no-brainer P5 OT and is off to a great start to his upperclassman campaign with u003cemu003eEurekau003c/emu003e.

After his first offer rolled in from Iowa State in mid-July, the LB saw offers roll in from Kansas State, Nebraska, and Kansas, all since September 10th. The Jayhawks offer is the most recent and came in on the 23rd, and it's a safe bet that u003cstrongu003eFountainu003c/strongu003e will be hit up for more P5 scholarships as this fall continues to progress, especially from programs in the Midwest region. In his 2023 game tape, u003cstrongu003eFountainu003c/strongu003e demonstrates a hard-hitting playstyle and the versatility to line up as an off-ball LB as well as the ability to rush, pressure, enforce the run, and create disruption (including pick-off passes) off the edge as a standup, wide-9 defender. He's a visibly strong prospect, especially for his age, and excels at the point of attack. Once he gets his hands on a ball carrier, it's game over, and I also am impressed with how he absorbs blocking attempts without losing momentum and can complete and make plays/tackles through contact. Adding the size/age factor into the equation, u003cstrongu003eFountain'su003c/strongu003e got a very bright future as a player and prospect.

After peeping the midseason tape, it's easy to see why u003cstrongu003eStreyu003c/strongu003e has ventured into the P5 realm of recruits, as he possesses two-way versatility as a right tackle and DT/DE hybrid, and is a colossal lineman who looks towering and intimidating on the gridiron. The mobility is eye-poppingly impressive for his size as well. He's a crushing puller with a ton of lateral agility and COD skills and is balanced, coordinated, and very comfortable moving, breaking down, and blocking in space. The strength is also backed up by the size, as u003cstrongu003eStreyu003c/strongu003e displays a strong initial punch and pop, which helps him either crush defenders or send them backward and onto their butts 5 yards past where he hit them. As a defensive lineman, he sheds blocking attempts and absorbs contact like he's playing against JV competition. I also like his solid pad level for his size, and he shows a good get-off, active hands, and a good motor. I do not see kids of his size move, change direction, and dominate at the point of attack very often. No-brainer P5 OL who will add a lot more big-time offers before it's all said and done.

I don't use the term u0022freakyu0022 very often, and for good reason, but u003cstrongu003eCureu003c/strongu003e absolutely fits the mold and possesses speed, lateral agility, and overall movement skills very rarely seen in a body of his size. u003cstrongu003eCureu003c/strongu003e is a devastating weapon in the passing game, and as a testament to how dangerous he is as a ball carrier, also returns kicks. He's electric with the ball in hand and can spin, slip through, cut past, and break tackles in as many eye-catching ways as you can think of. He's also capable of winning contested catches over triple-teams and reeling in receptions through contact, breaks off his routes very well has rare quickness for a kid of his size and age, and has the speed to take the top off the defense and hawk down loose ball carriers 60+ yards downfield as a DE. Seeing a 6'6, 220 lb. receiver cut on a dime like he can does not get old, and I cannot imagine how defenses in small-town Kansas feel trying to contain him. The simple answer is they can't. He's bound and built for the highest levels of college football.
