It's time to shine a spotlight on some unranked prospects who may have been under the radar heading into the season but deserve notoriety at the halfway point of the season. Here are some unranked senior prospects to know at the midway point.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1228132"],"_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-6705994c71c1e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We're getting film of 2025 Fairmont Senior LB [player_tooltip player_id='1228132' first='Logan' last='Canfield'] for the first time this year, and he's been impressive for the Polar Bears at the midseason point. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He's a versatile athlete who can line up at multiple positions on both sides of the ball but has looked the part at linebacker this season. Canfield does a nice job fitting the run and diagnosing the play. He pursues the ball quickly and is physical at the point of attack on ball carriers while not allowing them to fall forward very often. Canfield is a quality all-around athlete who has bulked up well into more of a linebacker body now and should intrigue D2 programs this year for his services. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16513341/66eb65ce5c200a57a579e97b' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-670821671b533"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["908996"],"_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-6705994c71cb5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We've been high on Doddridge County LB [player_tooltip player_id='908996' first='Talyn' last='Snyder'] for a while now and he's been a steady player for the Bulldogs for multiple years now.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Snyder is leading the team in tackles with 49 including 5 for a loss through the first 6 games of the season. He's an undersized but athletic linebacker that D3 programs need to know with upside if he can continue to put on size. Snyder plays well in space given his athleticism and can consistently make open-field tackles. Physicality also isn't an issue in his game as he'll often play the run between the tackles at the small school level too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16318809/66d49369fd21aa0a5c79665c' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-670821671b587"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1514669"],"_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-6705994c71d21"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A new name on our radar this season is 2025 Buckhannon-Upshur WR/LB [player_tooltip player_id='1514669' first='Colton' last='Wendling'] who's been a bright spot for the Buccaneers during a tough season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wendling has upside and potential as a versatile outside linebacker prospect who could add size and move to the middle or stay on the outside as a pass rusher with coverage ability as well. He has a 6'2 185 frame to work with which could take him in a few different directions at the next depending on how his body develops in a college program. Wendling has proven to be a threat off the edge this season when pass-rushing and is a long and athletic OLB who can harass the quarterback and make a play in space. He can support the run off the edge as well with the quickness to shut down inside or outside runs away from his play side due to his quickness. Wendling is flying under the radar for now but it wouldn't surprise us if a D2 program likes his potential and upside come Signing Day. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19384463/67054824746e64893b9e0e49' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-670821671b5c5"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1227610"],"_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-6705994c71d88"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1227610' first='Isaac' last='Swauger'] has been a valuable addition to the John Marshall program this season after having to sit out last year due to transfer and wasted no time in being a key piece to their team this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He's a versatile athlete who the Monarchs use in a few different ways on both sides of the ball but likely translates best to an OLB/Edge at the next level given his skillset. Swauger is a bit undersized length-wise but will surprise you with his athleticism and strength. He's gotten some traditional DE reps this season out of necessity and holds his own as a smaller DL but is at his best when he's playing in space at OLB. Swauger is a fluid athlete with pass rush and coverage ability that should make him a sought-after D3 prospect this year with the potential to develop into a quality college player in the future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16523231/6707c9167a145d745064f7fe' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-670821671b5fd"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1126834"],"_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-6705994c71dee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A small college prospect to know out of Ripley who has been a steady player for the Vikings during his career is [player_tooltip player_id='1126834' first='Michael' last='Vaughn']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We got to see Vaughn at the PRZ WV Combine earlier this year and he and the Vikings are having a strong start to their 2024 season. He's been one of their leading tacklers this season and is a high-effort player who gives maximum effort on every play. Vaughn is a tough downhill linebacker who's at his best fitting the run between the tackles and is a throwback type of linebacker. He's seen significant interest from D3 programs this season and will be a valuable asset to a team from that level after high school. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19675351/66f1fa58a62e6019566d1414' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-670821671b633"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["908999"],"_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-6705994c71eb2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another D3 prospect to know this season is 2025 Shady Spring LB [player_tooltip player_id='908999' first='Connor' last='Davis'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davis has spent time at inside and outside linebacker this season and has good traits for both positions. Middle linebacker may be his best fit, but Davis does have quality footwork and athleticism to play in space on the outside. He showed pass coverage ability against James Monroe when he played OLB but played more inside against a run-heavy team in Summers County the week after and showed he could fit the run as well. Davis still has plenty of room to grow as a player and is far from a finished product that could intrigue small colleges for his post-high school services. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16422871/66de44686d64f68b3e68615c' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-670821671b67a"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
