<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The evaluation and recruiting cycle is 24/7, 365 days a year. 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.

This impressive performance ranks him among the top 50 athletes in the nation for this event. His athleticism also stands out in his roles as a wide receiver and defensive back.

He also demonstrates the ability to play as an outside linebacker, effectively locking down his zone. Greenwood displays solid read-and-react skills, quickly attacking the football on the release and creating multiple interceptions, including a couple of pick-sixes. His physicality and awareness in the second and third levels make him someone you can rely on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Note - 3.3 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/J5needabag/status/1857982712365166724","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/J5needabag/status/1857982712365166724 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wisconsin:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1610302"],"_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-67fade1fa9cf3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Michael Frison is a breakout candidate for the upcoming 2025 season. He demonstrates solid post-snap vision and good footwork to navigate through gaps and read the backside of offensive linemen. Frison also showcases the ability to evade early penetration due to solid contact balance, lateral agility, and burst. He displays the ability to be a strong gap runner and excel at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Note - 3.0 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/michaelfrison10/status/1910744179418030261","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/michaelfrison10/status/1910744179418030261 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
