Polk Prospects Who Need More Attention

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As high school football hits the mid-mark, Prep Redzone Scout Drew Johnson will highlight some rising Under the Radar recruits from the Polk, Orlando, and North Florida areas who he thinks can play at the next level. As noted frequently, Prep Redzone Florida aims to provide adequate coverage of all athletes for college coaches At All Levels for readers to evaluate. Let's get into some of the stats, Hudl films, and recent offers from some of the rising prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong>Jackson Benton | QB | 2024 | Victory | @Jackson_ben10</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>2023 stats: </em></strong><em>79/150, 1033 passing yards, 13 TD - 69 rushes, 241 rushing yards</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Benton has risen on my radar list since taking the starting QB position at Victory this season. He's a decent game manager but can extend plays with his legs and stay accurate for downfield throws.
