A smooth, quick twitch athlete with tremendous speed, power and explosiveness. Missed a large portion of his junior season but has all the tools and skills colleges look for. Should have a big senior year if he's targeted in the offense. <br><br><strong>Dawson Parrott</strong>, Lincoln 2026</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>6'0" 175 ATH - 35" vertical jump<br><br>- Small school player who made a big showing in all areas on the day, including making the top 10 in all testing categories.

Colleges really need to take a look at this hidden gem of a prospect who can do a lot of things and has the athleticism and skills to help a program.<br><br>[player_tooltip player_id='1188270' first='Kobe' last='Polk'], Ft. Zumwalt North 2027</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>6'3" 205 LB - 35" vertical jump<br><br>- Polk is an athlete and player who has the potential to really blow up in recruiting with his size, speed, quickness and playmaking ability as a linebacker. He really showed he could get up in the air at 200 pounds and his power and explosiveness as matched with his quickness and speed. <br><br><br>Hudson Ceranno, Timberland 2026</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>6'2" 190 QB - 34" vertical jump<br><br>- This senior to be quarterback is a major sleeper to watch in 2025. He was one of the top athletes at the combine and second most athletic QB in all testing categories. One top of that he can really spin the ball and had a good showing on the field in 1v1s too.<br><br><br>[player_tooltip player_id='1590221' first='Greg' last='Hollis'], St. Mary's 2027</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>5'9" 155 DB - 33" vertical jump<br><br>- What Hollis might lack in height he makes up for in explosive leaping ability. Another athlete who made the top 10 testing in all categories, Greg showed why he had a monster year as a sophomore on the field, including 8 interceptions, with that kind of athleticism, speed and quickness. His closing burst and ability to jump really helps in coverage. <br><br><br>[player_tooltip player_id='402116' first='Graham' last='Faust'], MICDS 2026</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>6'3" 185 S - 33" vertical jump<br><br>- Another defensive back who put up good numbers in all categories but really excelled in the forty and with his vertical jump, which usually go hand in hand when doing combine testing. Faust put up good numbers despite playing La crosse in early 2025 and still being in season which can be hard on a players legs. On the field he is a playmaker on defense, offense and special teams. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
