A player to watch who could really develop into a special player at DL.   - Dennis Abel (6'1" 175) Riverview Gardens One of the top sleepers in the class. Abel showed remarkable receiving skills. He has good speed, put up really good numbers and was a bit of a hidden gem,   Truman State -[player_tooltip player_id='1112355' first='Kendal' last='Hammond'] (6'2" 200) RB/LB South Shelby Good size, speed, strength, explosiveness and skills at both running back and linebacker.

Central Missouri - [player_tooltip player_id='392792' first='Karson' last='Webster'] (6'8" 320) Francis Howell Central Webster has tremendous size, is a good athlete and can really move.
