Don't miss out, and send your film our way! We try to cover as many prospects as possible, and have some great ones in store for yall today!    [player_tooltip player_id='1635733' first='Levi' last='Madrid'] is a dominant TE prospect out of Mortimer Jordan who helped his offense in tons of ways last season, creating tons of plays as a receiver, and as a blocker for his teammates.   Madrid is a talented, physical blocker, who opens up so much space for his teammates at the line of scrimmage and in the open field- he plays with great leverage, tons of strength, and blocks through the whistle every snap. Madrid can also create tons of plays in the passing game, he plays with impressive speed, gains a lot of separation off his routes, and has a reliable set of hands he uses to haul in passes all around the field.   Madrid put together a really productive season last fall for Mortimer Jordan, ending the year with 21 receptions for 258 yards and 4 TDs, while also providing tons of key blocks all around the field.   Madrid has put together a ton of great tape you can see below- I'm really excited to see him play out his senior year, he's a versatile TE with tons of potential heading into a big year this fall.      [player_tooltip player_id='1559947' first='Tanner' last='Pickering'] is a talented DB out of Glenwood who's made a ton of plays out in their secondary over the last few years against the run and passes.   Pickering is a versatile DB who can line up and produce as a safety and nickel for his defense. At safety, Pickering is a ball hawk who provides terrific coverage over the top of their secondary- he's terrific at tracking the ball and consistently flies around the field to break up and intercept passes regardless of where he lined up pre-snap. At nickel, Pickering is physical at the line of scrimmage and doesn't allow for WRs to easily beat him downfield. Pickering is just as productive really against the run- he's great in pursuit and frequently comes downfield to make some impressive tackles.   Pickering was incredibly productive for Glenwood's defense last fall, ending his junior year with 40 total tackles (17 solo, one for loss) and 5 INTs.   Pickering put together a really impressive season last fall and is set for a big senior year here in a few months, be sure to watch his film below!      [player_tooltip player_id='1602847' first='Terrance' last='Hood Jr']. is an incredibly talented ATH out of Childersburg who has made a huge impact for his team on both sides of the ball at WR and DB.   At 6'0 160, Hood has great size and speed he uses to win one-on-one matchups out wide and in coverage. As a WR, Hood easily gains separation off his footwork- he's got some impressive releases, is a talented route-runner, and easily burns DBs downfield for huge gains. Hood has incredibly reliable hands- he comes away with some really impressive along the sideline, deep downfield, and in contested situations.   Hood uses a lot of the same skills on defense- he provides great coverage out in the secondary and consistently gets hands on the ball, coming up with PBUs and INTs all over the field. Hood has great instincts and constantly puts himself in good position to make plays- he's a highly instinctual defender who demands opposing offenses' attention with how well he flies around the field and comes up with stops against the run and pass.   I had a blast watching Hood's tape, he's highly athletic, has great ball skills, and is an every-down threat on offense and defense. Hood has put together some seriously impressive tape that you can see below, be sure to give him a watch- he's set up for a big year this fall!      [player_tooltip player_id='1635240' first='Adrian' last='Derico'] is a talented 2028 OL prospect out of Briarwood Christian who is set up for a huge future on their offensive line these next few years.   I might have to see some ID, cause there is absolutely no way that [player_tooltip player_id='1635240' first='Adrian' last='Derico'] is just a freshman- at 6'6 320 he is massive and uses his size to completely dominate the line of scrimmage. It's extremely impressive watching Derico in pass protection- although he's massive, he plays with terrific leverage, has dominant strength, and does a great job countering rush moves to shut down pass rushers on his side of the line of scrimmage.   Derico is equally impressive in the run game, he explodes off the line of scrimmage and works from defender to defender to open up wide rushing lanes for his teammates to capitalize off of. I think what impressed me most with Derico's tape was how much of an asset he was on screen passes- he moves well in the open field and helps pave the way for massive plays.   Derico has put together some great tape from his first year that you can see below, be sure to give him a watch- he has a huge future ahead of him and is a prospect everyone should get to know.      [player_tooltip player_id='1635743' first='Kalun' last='Cobb'] is a dominant DL prospect out of Guntersville who has lined up and produced at multiple spots along their defensive front over the last few years.   Cobb is a force against the run- he has a great burst off the line of scrimmage, eats up space, and will fight off multiple blockers to pursue and take down the ball carrier. Cobb is really good in pursuit- he consistently plays through the whistle, covering tons of ground to come up with stops against the run and pass, it's really impressive watching the effort he plays with. Cobb is just as productive as a pass rusher, he generates a ton of pressure on passing downs and consistently forces QBs into making bad decisions with the ball.   Cobb was really productive last fall for Guntersville, ending his junior year with 28 total tackles (14 solo, one for loss), and constantly pressuring and forcing bad throws from opposing QBs.   Cobb has put together some impressive tape from last season you can see below- watch out for him this fall, he's set to have a big senior season on Guntersville's defensive line.
