(All players mentioned below are college worthy prospects)
Strengths: The first thing you recognize about this East TN talent is his size and athletic abilities in and out of the pocket. Frazier is a dual threat quarterback that can beat you with his arm and his legs, presenting tons of problems for the opposition. The Wolves rising senior has a calm presence in the pocket and seems unphased with pressure in his face. Frazier does a good job of managing the pocket while keeping his eyes down field, looking for the open receiver. If the play breaks down, Frazier can tuck it and get down field quickly with his legs too. He sports solid mechanics that need a little tweaking with good arm strength that will get stronger over time. Between his size, athletic abilities and arm potential, Frazier presents a lot of good qualities that can develop well on the collegiate level, even possibly the D1 playing field. Development: After having to miss the back half of his junior season due to injury, Frazier has been missing in action for a while, which has slowed up his development. He should be back to 100% by next month and he will need every second available to get on the gridiron and work on his game. The main area he needs further development is with his arm strength and overall mechanics. Both of these traits aren’t bad for Frazier but to reach his maximum capabilities, the arm power and mechanics will need further enhancement. Adding more size to his big frame will be needed as well. Overview: There is a lot to like about this East Tennessee quarterback that brings several strong physical traits to the field that college coaches would enjoy developing. Frazier has the size, arm talent and natural athletic abilities that scream college potential. It’s just a matter of using this off-season to his advantage and developing his skill set further, then taking those abilities into college camps this summer and turning some heads. The Wolves rising senior has the makeup and abilities to reach the D1 level but it’s a long journey, so we shall see how Frazier develops over the coming months.

Strengths: If you are looking for big play abilities and speed at running back, Morris could be your guy! One of the fastest backs from our #TN2025 class, Morris is a home run threat anytime the ball touches his hands due to his speed and natural athletic abilities. He has excellent feet and the ability to change direction in short spaces at any given time. Once Morris gets into the open field, he is hard to catch up to and it’s not just his speed but it’s his strength too that makes it hard for defenders to bring him down. He shows good burst and vision along with the ability to also catch the ball out of the backfield as well. The Patriots rising senior is a bonafide Power Program prospect that I feel will only get better in time as he continues to grow and mature. Development: Morris doesn’t have a lot of areas about himself that needs improvement. It’s more about continuing to develop his skill set further and maturing along the way. Possibly the one area to keep enhancing is his body. Morris will need more weight on his frame to sustain durability on the college level but he has the body to certainly pack on the pounds and do just fine wherever he lands. Overview: Morris is easily one of the top offensive prospects that we have in our rising senior class that holds 20 plus offers with several Power Programs in pursuit. His game is well seasoned with the possibility of seeing the field early during his college career due to his speed and athletic abilities. The Patriots running back has a nice combination of speed and power that will only get better with further development on the college level. His ability to find the open field and end zone quickly is a big reason why Morris is a Top 20 prospect by PRZTN and a player that could gain bigger national status with a strong off-season.

Strengths: Sporting good size with the speed to consistently beat his man deep, Dodson is a well put together prospect with several strong traits that translate well to the college game. The Dragons rising senior has the physical makeup to work outside against top level cover corners and use his athleticism, power and speed to work around and through the opposition. Dodson is a technique sound ball player that understands how to get off the ball fast and get into his route quickly. He is a good route runner that I foresee getting better with routes as he receives college coaching. Dodson also shows good concentration and hands, whether that’s on short routes or deep passes. What I may like most about Dodson is his ability to accelerate after the catch and create distance between him and his defender. He can pick em up and go towards that end zone once the ball is in his hands. Development: The one area about Dodson that will need work is his body. While the Dragons pass catcher is well built at 6’1 180, whoever he signs with, will work at getting Dodson up to 200 pounds or more to sustain the physicality that comes with playing at the highest level of college football. Other than working in the weight room, Dodson just needs to continue developing everything from his hands to his routes and speed but he isn’t far away with the skill set he has from a starting role in the college game. Overview: There is a reason why we at PRZTN have Dodson as the state’s top ranked wideout for the #TN2025 class. He shows the best well rounded abilities and game from all receivers in the rising senior class at the moment and someone that could see the field early during his college career due to his mature mind and skill set. If you have paid attention to recruiting here in Tennessee of late, Dodson has been the hottest wideout and that’s because coaches see the same as I do and that’s a potential big play, number one pass catcher in their college systems.

Strengths: Garcia has seen his stock steadily rise over the past few weeks and that’s because this Mid-TN talent has the physical size, D-line versatility and potential to excel in the college game. The first thing standing out about Garcia is his size at 6’5 260 pounds plus along with the frame to take on more size inside a college weight room. That size along with his athletic lower base allows the Firebirds D-lineman to play a variety of roles across the front with his biggest upside working at Def. End inside a 3-4 defense. Now he isn’t limited to just that as I can see Garcia playing inside as well, using his powerful hands and pass rush upside to work into the backfield against interior O-linemen. Garcia shows good extension with his arms to gain leverage against the opposition then sheds those blocks to chase down the ball with nice pursuit. This is a physical competitor too, who plays with a strong motor and desire to play well on a consistent basis. Development: Just about everything about Garcia needs to develop much further. That is not a shot at this big time college prospect as if you asked Garcia himself, he would tell you his junior season wasn’t his best and he needs to work further to bring out the best in him. It’s definitely there but to see his abilities shine bright, Garcia will need to of course continue adding more size and strength but also keep developing his lower half agility and burst off the snap. He does well at maintaining the line of scrimmage but will need to become more explosive to excel at the level he needs to in the college game. Overview: I really like the upside for this Nashville area product and that’s not just due to his physical makeup and athletic abilities but it’s his mature mindset and self awareness that tells me Garcia could be playing this game for a long time. This guy is a worker and someone that wants to be great, so you won’t have to worry about teaching and coaching him on the next level because Garcia will give his all. He provides good versatility to the front seven with the ability to do a variety of things from rushing the passer or stopping the run. Power programs and D1 schools are in pursuit already with offers from the likes of Indiana, Purdue and Vanderbilt and I expect many others to jump on board very soon.

Strengths: We will get to the athletic abilities in a second but the first thing I want to mention about Muhammad is that this West Tennessee talent is a great young man that goes about life in a mature fashion and high character. Those traits alone will help this guy succeed but it’s his natural athletic abilities that should land Muhammad on the Power Program level. This guy is fast with track speed that would translate well to cover corner or any other position within the secondary. Muhammad shows excellent feet and lower half agility along with his speed to keep up with top level receivers. He is also quite instinctive with ball hawk tendencies as well as sporting the size to compete with bigger pass catchers. The Red Devils defensive back also has tremendous ball skills as he could actually develop at receiver if a team wanted him there. Muhammad will come up and tackle too as he plays with good physicality that would work back at safety. Development: Muhammad has experience in the secondary but not as much as you would think as he has taken a lot of high school snaps at receiver, so he is still a tad raw with his coverage abilities. Playing the cornerback position, Muhammad is still developing there but he is a quick learner. Lateral quickness is another area where I could see this Memphis area product taking another step with his body and game as well. Overview: While Muhammad has work to do, I see tremendous potential draped all over this prospect, especially as a cover corner because those guys are hard to find. The Red Devils rising senior has the upside to develop at that position and take his game not just into the Power Program level but beyond that as well. If cornerback doesn’t work out, Muhammad is such a natural athlete and worker that he could excel at either nickelback or safety as well. His position group for the #TN2025 looks to be quite deep and talented but because of Muhammad’s upside at cornerback, he will remain at the top of the rankings due his potential out wide in the college game.
