As the 7v7 season begins to take off and college camps follow close behind, our scout Drew Johnson will be on the move to track down Real Deal Stock Risers and Players to Watch.   [player_tooltip player_id='1229952' first='Zion' last='Wolf'] | WR | 2025 | Winter Park | @zionwo1f   One of the versatile athletes to compete with Gridiron Elite 7v7 has to get some recognition for his game and overall skill set. He's coming off a productive season where he recorded nearly 500 receiving yards with 5 TDs to add on just 23 receptions. He has big-play potential because of his reliable hands and solid route running.   Amari Clemons | RB | 2026 | Marianna | @AmariClemons4   One of the Real Deal premier running back prospects in North Florida is getting offers from Power 4 schools after a productive year on the ground. This kid nearly rushed for 1500 yards with 22+ touchdowns to add. Clemons has received a recent offer from Miami but expect those across the nation to start catching on as well.   [player_tooltip player_id='1320738' first='Noah' last='Devine'] | OL | 2025 | Lake Minneola | @NoahDevine4   A premier offensive lineman prospect in the state has put his name on the map. It started with a solid fall season where he's used that energy to dominate in the off-season period. The 6-2, 285-pound junior just displayed his strong base/hands, and footwork at a camp in Atlanta this weekend. Has the frame and tools to be a big-time center recruit headed into spring.    David Aboya | ATH | 2026 | Milton | @DavidAboya   This kid has been a true baller in the 7v7 season where he's shown off his versatility and athleticism on the circuit. At 6-3, 170-pounds, Aboya can play on both sides of the ball where he uses his frame and strong hands to make plays and snag the ball out of the air. Look out for his name to continue rising as we head into the spring period.    [player_tooltip player_id='283737' first='Grayson' last='Gibson'] | WR | 2026 | Edgewater | @graysongibson_   Gibson made a recent move over to Edgewater to continue his high school career. This kid will have the chance to put his skills and talent on full display. The sophomore riser already has a good frame at 6-3, 193-pounds with solid route running ability. Still has time to work on his game but have to keep eyes on his overall progression.    [player_tooltip player_id='829522' first='Uriah' last='Maynard'] | ATH | 2025 | East Ridge | @UriahMaynard1   This kid can be a highlight reel with the ball in his hands. He's fresh off a productive statistical season where he finished with 530 rushing yards and 5 TDs with Lake Minneola but made the recent move over to East Ridge. Maynard is a versatile athlete who can get it done in the backfield or be used in the passing game.    [player_tooltip player_id='829501' first='Ethan' last='Larson'] | ATH | 2025 | Bloomingdale | @1ethanlarson   I've had the chance to watch Larson perform at various college camps and he's held his own against solid talent. He's another versatile athlete on the list who can get it done on both sides of the ball. He received recent personal letters from the likes of Yale and Columbia and has the opportunity to lock in real deal college interest heading into spring.    [player_tooltip player_id='1220036' first='Tommy' last='Halgrim'] | DE/TE | 2025 | Fort Myers | @TommyHalgrim1   At 6-8, 225-pounds, this kid can be used as a tight end threat or rush off the edge to disrupt the pass/run game. He's continuing to put in the work this offseason where he can truly show college coaches he's not just a big body but has the fundamentals and technique to be a ball player at the next level.

As the 7v7 season begins to take off and college camps follow close behind, our scout Drew Johnson will be on the move to track down Real Deal Stock Risers and Players to Watch.
