<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We continue to uncover prospects who have yet to be discussed or have a report. At Prep Redzone, we focus on uncovering the hidden gems, the under-the-radar athletes who deserve recognition but often go unnoticed due to various factors. These prospects can 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":["1636044"],"_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-67cb179870ee5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1636044' first='Jamarion' last='Pirtle'] is a stout defensive lineman who primarily plays in the 3-5 technique. Post-snap, he demonstrates a solid upfield burst and hand placement, allowing him to create inside leverage and shed blockers to make plays at the line of scrimmage or in the backfield. His relentless motor enables him to pressure the pocket and chase down ball carriers from sideline to sideline.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Note - 3.0 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/p37142/status/1856844623425175869","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/p37142/status/1856844623425175869 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1636059"],"_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-67cb179870f56"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1636059' first='Dawson' last='McFadin'] is a tight-end prospect to watch, as he could have a major breakout season. McFadin is a versatile player who can line up at H-Back, slot, and occasionally inline. Solid hand-eye coordination and body control to adjust mid-route. After the catch, he can be difficult to bring down due to his solid foot speed, burst, and contact balance. He is also a willing blocker in space, where he uses good hand placement to control and is active in displacing defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Note - 3.6 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Dawsonmcfadin42/status/1896578186026336603","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/Dawsonmcfadin42/status/1896578186026336603 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1608368"],"_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-67cb179870fa6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rex McClanahan is a young prospect to watch who already has good size for the receiver position.

He displays solid upfield burst, demonstrating his capability to contain opponents and move laterally. His relentless motor enables him to chase down ball carriers effectively. He's able to bull rush due to good hand placement, pad level, and lower body strength to drive the OL back. Grundy can also speed-to-power rush. Either way, he consistently creates pressure into the pocket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Note - 4.68 40</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/juliangrundy9/status/1871602456255463761","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/juliangrundy9/status/1871602456255463761 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1636088"],"_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-67cb179871048"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1636088' first='Roy' last='Holmes'] has had a highly productive off-season, excelling in weight training, 7-on-7 drills, and more. He is a prospect to watch throughout 2025. Holmes displays solid read-and-react ability, effectively keying in on his receiver and the quarterback's eyes. This skill allows him to identify his target in zone coverage, enabling him to arrive at the catch point and force a PBU or INT. Overall, he showcases solid footwork and fluidity, allowing him to transition quickly on the field.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Note - Multi Position Athlete</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/holmes_roy24","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/holmes_roy24 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1393146"],"_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-67cb446833af7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jamarion Pirtle is a stout defensive lineman that plays between the 3-5 tech.
