Huff is a prospect that can play all over the field. He does a great job of dropping back into coverage and causing problems for opposing quarterbacks. The Valley View linebacker will be spending his Saturday in Columbia, Missouri visiting the Missouri Tigers. Keep an eye on the talented linebacker as the season progresses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='612846' first='Cash' last='Farris']-Safety-Alma-2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Alma safety is a prospect that has caught the eye of numerous programs and is going to be a player to watch next season. [player_tooltip player_id='612846' first='Cash' last='Farris'] is a player that is all over the field for the Airedales. He plays the ball in the air extremely well and has no problem separating the ball from the ball carrier. Farris will be visiting Austin Peay State University this upcoming weekend. He is a prospect with the ability to play at the next level over the next few seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='149578' first='Bo' last='Williams']-Running Back-Shiloh Christian-2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over the past few weeks, [player_tooltip player_id='149578' first='Bo' last='Williams'] has exploded with his level of play. He is racking up the yardage and touchdowns. The work on and off the field has not gone unnoticed. Harding University extended a scholarship offer Williams' way earlier in the week. Williams is a running back that has the talent to play on Saturdays in the future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='706364' first='Carius' last='Curne']-Offensive Line-Marion-2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Marion offensive lineman is a powerhouse. He has extremely quick feet and explodes out of the stance in a quick manner. Earlier in the week, Curne earned a scholarship offer from the University of Tennessee. Over the past few months, Curne has exploded from a recruiting perspective, and I expect him to continue to track to attract the scholarship offers as the season progresses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='221270' first='Nykkisson' last='Wimberly']-Defensive Line-Arkadelphia-2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='221270' first='Nykkisson' last='Wimberly'] is a versatile prospect on the defensive line that can shift from the tackle to the edge rush position and not lose any effectiveness. Wimberly uses his quickness to defeat blocks and get into the opposing offensive backfield. However, he does have the power to bull rush an opposing offensive lineman. Wimberly has received an invitation to watch Louisiana-Monroe play on October 28^th. He is a prospect that I expect to continue to attract attention.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='323925' first='Cameron' last='Keller']-Running Back-Van Buren-2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Van Buren running back does a great job of identifying his rushing lanes and exploding through the hole. He is effective as a receiver and can make big plays in the passing game. Keller has flown under the radar, but he is a running back with the talent to play on Saturdays in the future. Keller will be attending the Austin Peay State University game this weekend. He is a prospect to keep an eye on this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='149594' first='Ashton' last='Gray']-Quarterback-Marion-2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='149594' first='Ashton' last='Gray'] is a versatile prospect that can play all over the field for the Patriots.
