Continue ReadingAs the high school football season concludes, we will look at some Underclass stock riser prospects that deserve recognition in their respective positions and classifications. This week, Prep Redzone Scout Drew Johnson will highlight instrumental recruits who have consistently produced this season. As noted frequently, Prep Redzone Florida aims to provide adequate coverage of all athletes for college coaches At All Levels and readers to evaluate. Let’s get into some of the stats, Hudl films, and recent offers from some of the rising recruits in the state of Florida.
Keon Young Keon Young 6'0" | 175 lbs | DB Lakeland | 2025 State FL | DB | 2025 | Lakeland | @keonyoung_55
Young was the co-Player of the Game in a big-time #863 showdown win against Bartow. He finished Thursday night with a huge momentum-shifting 83-yard pick-six and followed it up with 2 forced fumbles. That’s a game-changer college coaches who will only continue to develop in his junior season. He provided good coverage and solid tackling as well throughout the night.
Girard Pringle | RB | 2025 | Armwood | @GirardPringle
2023 stats: 219 rushes – 1683 yards – 24 TD
Pringle is that dude. He has to be one of the more underrated running back prospects in the area but he’s starting to get the college attention he deserves after a great junior season.
Vernell Brown III Vernell Brown III 5'11" | 165 lbs | ATH Orlando Jones | 2025 State FL | WR | 2025 | Jones | @VB3_9
2023 stats: 43 receptions, 811 yards, 8 TDs, 90.1 YPG
I’ve had the opportunity to scout Brown the past couple of years and watch him develop into a true Power 5 prospect. From competing with one of the top 7v7 teams in the state to dominating with the pads on, the son of former Gators cornerback/wide receiver/returner Vernell Brown Jr is money on the gridiron in his own right. He’s flashed advanced route-running skills & sure hand capabilities for the next level. Just check the film, this kid will be an early production piece for whoever lands his talents.
Shawn Simeon Shawn Simeon 5'10" | 170 lbs | ATH Naples | 2025 State FL | RB | 2025 | Naples | @ShawnSimeon5
2023 stats: 188 rushes – 2040 yards – 27 TD
This kid is the Real Deal! One of the top running backs in the state produced week in and week out for his squad. It was in the postseason that Simeon truly showed his upside and potential to procure at the next level. Just check the stats and film college coaches, you’re going to want to get eyes on this one.
Keveun Mason | RB | Class of 2025 | Fort Meade | @keveunmason07
2023 stats: 108 rushes | 1067 yards | 14 TD | 9.9 yards per carry
Since transferring to Fort Meade, Mason has been stamped as a true riser and has moved into my top 5 running back prospects in Polk. He will pick up some D1 offers during the offseason as he has totaled over 1,000 yards rushing while showing his versatile skill sets throughout the season.
JoJo Scott JoJo Scott 6'2" | 170 lbs | DB Lakeland Victory Christian | 2025 FL | ATH | 2025 | Victory Christian | @jojoscott0
On Friday nights, Scott is the main attraction for Victory Christian’s offense as he’s a home run type player that has made some big-time catches while making plays on both sides of the ball. He also provides solid defensive coverage and could play the defensive back position at the next level.
Chris Denson | QB | 2025 | Plant City | @chrisdenson03
2023 stats: 135/209 – 2147 yards – 26-8 TD/INT
Denson has been on fire since the off-season when he won QB Standout at the 863Showcase. He only took that momentum and confidence into the season as he finished a really solid junior season with over 2,000 passing yards and nearly 30 TD passes. Denson has a good frame, footwork to move around the pocket, and arm talent to put the ball where it needs to be.
Best of Rest:
