<h2 class="wp-block-heading">It's been a long off-season thus far but it's been very beneficial for the prospects below. All these players mentioned have developed their games further while also increasing their overall stocks as plenty of schools have offered or become interested. </h2>

<p><strong>(QB) [player_tooltip player_id='1254853' first='Bronzden' last='Chaffin'] - Upperman</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- During these spring months of recruiting, Chaffin has seen his stock take-off with added offers from the likes of Bowling Green, Ga Southern, Georgia St., MTSU, North Alabama and Southern Miss but I still believe others will get on board before this Mid-Tennessee signal caller makes a decision. The Bees quarterback is a highly talented young man that brings great size, arm talent and athleticism to the playing field that translates well to the college game, especially within a RPO offense. College camp season will be big for Chaffin, where I think he will impress and force bigger schools to get on board because his ceiling is quite high with his best football days ahead of him. </p>

<p><strong>(RB) [player_tooltip player_id='1431775' first='Christopher' last='Talley'] - Whitehaven</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- Coming off a breakthrough junior season, Talley has generated strong buzz throughout the spring months as he has added some big offers and interest from several others. The Tigers ball carrier currently holds offers from Arkansas, Cincinnati, Georgia Tech, Liberty, Memphis, Pittsburgh, West Virginia and others but has plenty of Power Four and D1 schools showing interest. A big reason why his stock has soared during the spring months is due to his speed and big play abilities. Talley is a home run hitter from the backfield that can hit the open field quickly and find the end zone. When our new #TN2026 rankings come out soon, it's very possible that this Memphis area running back could be the #1 guy. </p>

<p><strong>(WR) [player_tooltip player_id='1181026' first='Zaydyn' last='Anderson'] - Greeneville</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- We could be on the verge of a recruiting breakthrough for Anderson as he recently landed his first Power Four offer from Tennessee. The Green Devils playmaking receiver has steadily grown his stock over these off-season months as one of the better prospects coming out of the East Tennessee region for the #TN2026 class and I think he isn't done adding big time offers. Besides his opportunity from the Vols, Anderson also holds offers from Arkansas St., Ball St., Colorado St., Liberty, Memphis, MTSU, Toledo, Troy and others. Anderson may have to hit the camp scene this summer to build upon his stock but I definitely think a breakout senior year is on the horizon for this guy and a potential to see many other power programs get on board with his recruitment. </p>

<p><strong>(WR) [player_tooltip player_id='284143' first='Bryson' last='Maddox'] - Clinton</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- One of the hottest recruits during the spring recruiting season has been this East Tennessee pass catcher that is starting to bring in Power Four interest and offers. Standing about 6'5 190 pounds, the size that Maddox brings to the field along with his ability to run after the catch is bringing college attention his way with offers from the likes of App. State, Ball St., Buffalo, Louisville, Memphis, Miami Ohio, MTSU, West Virginia and others. There are several other big time programs sniffing around this Knoxville area prospect and I expect some of them to get on board sooner than later because Maddox is too talented to be looked over for much longer. </p>

<p><strong>(WR) [player_tooltip player_id='851938' first='Cameron' last='Wade'] - East Nashville</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- One of the fastest wideouts we have from our #TN2026 class is this Nashville area playmaker that has steadily seen an increase with his recruitment over these spring months that has certainly boosted his overall stock. The Eagles senior receiver is an explosive guy that provides big play abilities to the field that college coaches have started to recognize. At the time of writing this, Wade has received offers from the likes of Maryland, Memphis, Miami Ohio, MTSU, Southern Miss, Toledo and others along with tons of interest from many more. If Wade could increase his body mass while learning the route tree much further, I think you could see bigger programs get involved and make him one of the biggest stock risers of all within our senior class. </p>

<p><strong>(TE) [player_tooltip player_id='1309335' first='Eli' last='Wilt'] - Ensworth</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- Sporting the size and look of a college guy, Wilt has seen things go into a positive direction with his recruitment this off-season and I think he is still far from done as I expect bigger schools to get involved at some point in time. The Tigers tight end is a talented pass catcher that works the intermediate routes well with upside to cause damage down the field as well. So far through his recruitment, Wilt has landed offers from Eastern Ky, Eastern Michigan, ETSU, Lindenwood, Miami Ohio, Troy and Western Ky. He has yet to breakthrough into full blown D1 or Power Four status but I believe that can happen after a strong camp season and a productive senior year, so keep tabs on this talented tight end moving forward. </p>

<p><strong>(OL) [player_tooltip player_id='402552' first='Jordan' last='Curll'] - Page</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- The best is yet to come for Curll but his stock is growing day by day due to his upside to play left tackle on the college stage and he is still far from a finished product, which is an exciting concept. The Patriots big man has begun to generate some strong buzz for himself throughout these off-season months by landing offers from Austin Peay, Central Arkansas, Lindenwood, Samford, UT-Martin and his most recent opportunity from Western Ky. The Hilltoppers became his 1st D1 offer but they won't be the last. Curll has tremendous upside due to his natural athletic abilities that could be used in multiple places across the O-line, even possibly the blind side. </p>

<p><strong>(OL) [player_tooltip player_id='1453995' first='Moussa' last='Seck'] - McCallie</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- A road grader in the trenches that has brought in some serious offers this off-season, Seck is a definite stock riser due to his physical explosiveness and upside for the college level. This Blue Tornado big man is one of the best run blockers we have from the #TN2026 class that has picked up offers thus far from Auburn, Georgia St., Georgia Tech, Kennesaw St., Memphis, MTSU, North Carolina and Vanderbilt with several other power programs lurking and considering getting on board. I fully expect to see Seck's offer list expand over the next few months, especially after he camp's this summer. Work must be done with his pass protection but if coaches want a powerful guy that can move guys off the ball, Seck is your man! </p>

<p><strong>(OL) [player_tooltip player_id='1366546' first='Jacob' last='Crow'] - Alcoa</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- After a strong junior season and watching this East Tennessee lineman at our #PRZTN Winter Showcase, I can see why Crow has blown up on the recruiting scene this spring and why he isn't done adding big time offers. At this point in his recruitment, the Tornadoes big man has landed offers from the likes of Air Force, Coastal Carolina, Fla Atlantic, Furman, MTSU, Navy, Southern Miss, Troy, UConn, Western Ky and others. Several other Power Four and D1 programs are hot on his trail as well, so I expect Crow's offer list to grow over the coming months due to his size (6'8 290), athleticism and upside on the next level to play tackle and maybe even the left side. </p>

<p><strong>(OL) [player_tooltip player_id='425182' first='Andre' last='Amos, Jr'] - Germantown</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- This Memphis area lineman has seen his stock go into a positive direction during these spring months due to his overall size and athletic profile that translates very well to the college game. If you look at his junior film, you can see why he has the offers he does and why many others are lurking around and showing interest. Headed into the summer camp season, Amos holds offers from Arkansas St., Fla Atlantic, MTSU, Southern Miss, UAB, Western Ky and others. Multiple schools from the Power Four and D1 levels are showing interest, so I wouldn't be surprised to see his offer list expand over the next few months as Amos, Jr brings a lot of athletic upside to the field with his best football days ahead of him. </p>
