<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As high school football 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.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='836526' first='Nigel' last='Nelson'] | ATH | 2025 | Pensacola Catholic | @Nigelnelson04</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2023 stats:</strong> 25 TDs - 5 ints - 50 tackles - 1,500 all-purpose yards - 1,370 rushing</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What a season for Nelson who got it done on both sides of the ball. Nearly 30 total touchdowns and 50 tackles on the defensive side is the definition of a DOG. The 6-0, 210-pound athlete helped Pensacola Catholic to an 11-3 finish on the season and is set for a major offseason period where he can continue generating college interest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='829341' first='Sean' last='Cuono'] | RB | 2025 | Calvary Christian | @seancuono</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2023 stats: </strong>145 rushes - 1024 yards - 8 TD&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cuono is a versatile running back prospect who had a productive year on the ground in his junior season. The 5-11, 190-pound Calvary product helped his team to a 10-3 finish as he's another elite prospect that can lock in major Power 5 interest during the offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='927717' first='Jayden' last='Petit'] | ATH | 2025 | FBA | @JaydenPetit12</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2023 stats: </strong>66 receptions - 1141 yards - 16 TD</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>College coaches looking for a legitimate 2026 6-4 WR prospect that produced over 1000 receiving yards, tap in with this kid who also plays basketball likely because of his athleticism. Petit had nearly 20 total touchdowns in his sophomore season with incredible upside heading into the winter period.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='748997' first='Ryan' last='Matulevich'] | WR | 2025 | Venice | @MatulevichB</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2023 stats: </strong>40 receptions - 652 yards - 6 TD</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Not sure how Matulevich continues to be slept on but he's a sure-handed slot receiver who helped Venice get a shot at the state championship title for consecutive seasons. Really impressed with his ability to complete a short route and make things happen after the catch. Still time to continue working on his game and frame to attract some college offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='749820' first='Tyler' last='Williams'] | WR |&nbsp; 2025 | Sumner | @TJgokrazzy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2023 stats:</strong> 26 receptions - 585 yards - 14 TD</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What a year Williams put together as he showed off his ability to be the Real Deal at wideout in his junior season. This kid has big play written on his sleeve because of his blazing speed and sticky glue hands. Williams will certainly be a big-time recruit and make a college coach happy at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='212280' first='Lagarion' last='Wilson'] Jr. | | ATH | 2026 | Boone | @LagarionWilson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2023 stats: </strong>56 total tackles -&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wilson shined in his sophomore season with nearly 60 total tackles. I like his coverage game and ability to tackle in the open field.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
