<p>When it comes to ranking football prospects, the only exact science is watching these players perform live.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>While most fan websites never see all the players that they rank and evaluate live – in game conditions – they are truly no better than anyone who can watch game film and form an opinion.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Recruiting goes so much deeper than just the Xs and Os. A college coach can click on a video link and see a player make a tackle, run, catch and throw. But perhaps the most important thing that you cannot see from a highlight video is character.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Any college coach worth their value will tell you that character is just about everything.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There are dozens of prospects who can run fast, jump as high as you can and make key plays, but just one player can ruin an entire team and that is something you cannot judge in film.</p>

<p>At <strong><em>Prep Redzone Florida</em></strong> our team has the honor of watching football prospects year-round. Practices, games, camps, combines and just about anything that you can be on site watching what these athletes do – on and off the playing field.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Our player rankings are never definitive until the final one is released in January of their senior year.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Every two months – six times a year, we adjust, add and subtract as we watch the talent perform.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Our recent Class of 2026 is the fourth one released, and with a number of players ranked after watching them – along with over 100 added only gives our readers and college coaches who follow what we do every day – a better idea of what players to keep an eye on and follow prospects they had never watched or heard of before.</p>
