Tale of the Tape Tuesday 2026 Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are a lot of guys out there that meet to be highlighted. I have received a lot of film in the last day. Time to check it out. Here are some guys you should have on your radar. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1227827' first='Zie' last='Buckley']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Buckley is a two-way player for Union. When I watched his film, I was very impressed. I love the way that he has a quick burst in his routes. His release is quick and he gets cornerbacks on their heels. Buckley also has a nice set of hands. You won't see him out there making a lot of body catches. He is also very good on defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1345657' first='Zechariah' last='Jenkins']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jenkins is a 6-foot-3, 180-pound receiver from Laurel that I am a fan of. This kid does a great job of being a big target for his team. You won't see him getting manhandled on the islands. He also knows how to go up for the football. When he gets his hands up he plans to bring the ball down. Jenkins also has some decent speed. I would love to see him have a quicker release from the line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Travon Magee</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Magee is a quarterback from Collins that I am going to pay closer attention to. I love the way he reads through his keys. He also does a great job getting the ball to the right receiver. There are some few thing I want to see him work on. I would love to see him have a quicker release when he is throwing the football. With the right training, this kid could be a division one quarterback. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='953393' first='BJ' last='Payton'] </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Payton is a dog on the field. Payton is a long linebacker that has a lot of room to grow. I think Payton is going to be an outside linebacker on the next level. He was a starter last season as a freshman. I don't know his 40 time, but he had good closing speed when he is ready to make a play. Payton also is pretty decent in coverage. The more he develops his game the higher his stock will rise. I can see him holding another forty pounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
