The Five: Under The Radar “Athletes”

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Creeping towards college camp season, we still have tons of prospects sitting without offers and without a lot of interest but trust me these five athletes below can play! </h2>     <a href="https://prepredzone.com/tennessee/prospect-database/?player_name=&high_school_name=&class%5B%5D=2025&position%5B%5D=ATH&commitment=">#TN2025 Athlete Database</a>   (Ath) [player_tooltip player_id='308663' first='J'Alan' last='Terry'] - Bradley Central   - Creeping towards college camp season, Terry sits as one of the more “under the radar” talents we have from the #TN2025 recruiting class. Early on throughout the process, the Bears offensive playmaker received plenty of interest but several factors along the way might have slowed down that momentum. Terry is a good ball player that provides tons of athleticism and versatility to an offense that can be used in a variety of ways. The Bears senior athlete is well built physically, which makes you think running back but he also sports strong hands along with the ability to make people miss that could work well at slot receiver. The limited film he has from last season does show upside to become a potential pass catching back out of the backfield that could be split out wide in certain offensive sets.    - - - - -    (Ath) [player_tooltip player_id='822698' first='Ronye' last='Watson'] - Chatt. Central   - As I sit here and write this piece, I am still not sure as to which position Watson will play on the collegiate level but what I do know is that his athleticism plays up and his overall skill set shows upside to become a playmaker on either side of the ball. The Pounders senior two-way talent brings a certain explosive, game breaking type of abilities to the playing field that could be utilized at either receiver or defensive back. He has produced at a high level for his high school team over the past few years but sits under the radar at the moment, still waiting for those college offers to arrive. One thing that could be holding teams back is Watson's overall size and his need to add on more weight. If he can develop his body much further, while enhancing his game as well, Watson could work his way into an FCS level prospect by the end of the season.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/RonyeWats_7/status/1763548396789391542 </div></figure>   - - - - -    (Ath) [player_tooltip player_id='301404' first='Landon' last='Collins'] - Farragut   - Collins is an interesting prospect that has yet to break out on the recruiting scene but a big summer camp season and a stellar Fall football year could change things. Standing 6 '3 190 pounds with good arm length and a broad upper body, Collins has the physical size and skill set to become a receiver, safety or linebacker on the collegiate level, depending on his growth over the next two years. Viewing his junior film, right now I see Collins as a potential receiver due to his hands and developing speed but I could easily see him grow into a safety/linebacker mix, who plays in space but close to the line. His versatility and natural athletic abilities could gain looks from some FCS programs before too long and take his stock from under the radar to being under the spotlight.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/landoncollins_/status/1697992812518617209 </div></figure>   - - - - -    (Ath) [player_tooltip player_id='390722' first='Sam' last='Pickett'] - Marion Co.   - Coming from a small part of the Chattanooga area, Pickett sits under the radar but trust me the guy can play! Sporting good size (6'0 173), athleticism and position versatility, this East Tennessee talent remains one of the more hidden gems we have from our #TN2025 class that has yet to see his recruitment take-off. There has been some buzz for Pickett since beginning his high school career at Marion Co. but things have been quiet of late without much movement. No clue on all that but what I do know is that Pickett is an explosive athlete that can run, providing upside for running back, receiver and defensive back on the collegiate level. His ability to turn a short play into a long gain is something special. I do believe before too long, schools will get on board with Pickett, it's just a matter of when.    - - - - -    (Ath) [player_tooltip player_id='839988' first='Harrison' last='Brownlee'] - Columbia Academy   - It almost doesn't matter what position this Mid-Tennessee talent plays as Brownlee is the ultimate competitor that loves to win and hates to lose! This 6 '2 two-way talent loves the game of football, bringing the kind of winning passion to the field that most coaches would enjoy having on their teams. Brownlee is a good athlete that has excellent instincts and a physical approach to the game that is hard to find in many prospects. On offense, Brownlee is a sure handed wideout that runs good routes while on defense, the Bulldogs senior product has a ball hawk mentality along with the range and willingness to tackle anybody hard with the ball in their hands. This is a high value prospect for the locker room and your team that plays winning football anytime he steps onto the field.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/mopatton_sports/status/1717717402572525656 </div></figure>   - - - - - Three Others to Watch: (Ath) [player_tooltip player_id='1134295' first='Ja'Braylon' last='Ellis'] - Springfield, (Ath) [player_tooltip player_id='1102967' first='Tripp' last='Pinion'] - White Co., (Ath) [player_tooltip player_id='1228699' first='Dameon' last='Calloway'] - Lebanon
