Six biggest stock-risers in top 100 in La.’s latest 2026 rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Redzone Louisiana's latest 2026 rankings update dropped this week, including some major stock-risers heading into junior year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a look at the six prospects who made the biggest leaps to their new positions on the list.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>No. 27 [player_tooltip player_id='1238574' first='Ze'land' last='Young'] — 6-4, 190 WR — Neville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first of a pair of tall, athletic outside receivers at the top of this list, the Tigers' rising junior star has some impressive clips on his highlight reel already with his vertical speed and ability to create separation and stop on a dime in his route-running. Young has the potential to be one of the state's biggest breakout candidates to watch this fall with more opportunities and may have further climbing on this list ahead.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>No. 28 [player_tooltip player_id='920618' first='Kristion' last='Brooks'] — 6-4, 180 WR — Zachary</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Broncos' multisport standout is becoming a familiar name on Prep Redzone Louisiana as he followed up some big-play flashes as a sophomore with a strong offseason overall in which he looked prepared to step into a leading role in the perennial title contenders' passing attack.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>No. 37 [player_tooltip player_id='1237623' first='Maurice' last='Williams'] — 5-10, 155 DB — Edna Karr</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Cougars' quick, instinctive cornerback made the biggest leap of any prospect in Prep Redzone Louisiana's latest 2026 rankings update. "Moe" has been a budding standout on the local radar for the New Orleans power with some flashes of big plays on the ball in a veteran secondary, and he's continued to develop physically and looks poised to be one of the top players to watch in a still-loaded group this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>No. 52 [player_tooltip player_id='920639' first='Jamarion' last='Daugherty'] — 6-4, 240 DL — Opelousas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Tigers' big defensive lineman has been on the Prep Redzone Louisiana radar since conversations with his coaches during spring practice at the end of his freshman year and particularly impressed in the team's state championship victory to close out his sophomore season. The measurables speak for themselves, and Daugherty's explosive tackling and, even as a young player, knack for reading plays and being in position — a blown-up screen in the Superdome stands out — are just as impressive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>No. 80 [player_tooltip player_id='922575' first='Isaiah' last='Stokes'] — 6-2, 195 LB — Zachary </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A second budding Zachary standout on the list of biggest risers in Prep Redzone Louisiana's latest 2026 rankings, Stokes is about 20 pounds stronger than when first hitting our radar as a tall, lean freshman at Catholic (Baton Rouge) and moving smoothly in space and covering lots of ground in a hurry as one of the biggest players on the field during any the Broncos' summer 7-on-7 work. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>No. 82 [player_tooltip player_id='920690' first='Marcus' last='Jasmin'] — 6-1, 210 LB — Warren Easton</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The big defense end is one of several promising Eagles standouts fans and college coaches alike should be excited to see more of this fall after a shortened 2023 season. Jasmin's offseason footage from camps and workouts show good variety and quickness to his pass-rushing moves to go with his thick, strong build.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
