<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At Prep Redzone, our focus is on uncovering the hidden gems, the under-the-radar athletes who deserve recognition but often go unnoticed due to various factors. These prospects have the ability to compete at the next level, be it D1, D2, D3, NAIA, or JUCO, showcasing their considerable talents. Here are five prospects to add to your recruiting board:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1328036"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66af888b941e5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1328036' first='Malachi' last='Sherwin'] displays good post-snap vision to read the defensive front quickly with patience to follow blockers and then attack the hole with a good up-field burst. He is a physical, north, and south runner who can become elusive in space due to his agility. Showcases good speed and lateral agility to make a man miss in the second level or to become a multi-cut back and create in space. Good contact balance, body control, leg drive, and active feet to break tackles and gain positive yards consistently. I expect his recruitment to take off during the 2024 season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Note – 3.6 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Malachi_Sherwin/status/1780416263438655967","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Malachi_Sherwin/status/1780416263438655967 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1329047"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66af888b9424b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1329047' first='Cruz' last='Coatney'] is a young quarterback with high potential. He can read defenses quickly and make quick decisions off of his progressions. Coatney also has a strong arm and good mobility in the pocket, which allows him to evade pressure. He consistently steps into his throws to generate torque through the hips. He has the angle freedom to adjust his release point and window if needed. His downfield vision enables him to progress through his reads both inside and outside the pocket. Solid ball placement at all levels with good touch to layer the football over second-level defenders. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Note - Multi Sport Athlete</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/_cruzcoatney_/status/1816127691910770752","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/_cruzcoatney_/status/1816127691910770752 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1318992"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66af888b94293"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kalei Takanang showcases good explosion off the line of scrimmage with the ability to lineup at the 3-7 tech due to his versatility, quickness and power. Able to win 1v1 as a bull rusher or by utilizing his quickness to beat his man off the edge. Good lower body strength and hand placement to create leverage, shed blocks or quickly engage and then drive back the OL, combined with good pad level, allowing him to put pressure into the pocket. His recruitment will take off during the 2024 season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Note – 4.8 Shuttle</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/KaleiTokanang/status/1791880619988750821?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1791880619988750821%7Ctwgr%5Ea5f35a862abc9730cc6072dcf6a330959da52162%7Ctwcon%5Es1_u0026amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fprepredzone.com%2Fplayer%2Fkalei-tokanang%2F","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/KaleiTokanang/status/1791880619988750821?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1791880619988750821%7Ctwgr%5Ea5f35a862abc9730cc6072dcf6a330959da52162%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fprepredzone.com%2Fplayer%2Fkalei-tokanang%2F </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1359904"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66af888b942dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1359904' first='Quincy' last='Bruce Jr'] showcases his power and quickness off the snap.
