<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Breaking down some of the prospects outside of the top-100 in PRZ NV's 2026 rankings to have on the radar.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1579323"],"_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-684956471c6ca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Orr put together a breakout junior season in the fall recording 82 total tackles and 8 TFLs for the Douglas defense. He's a downhill ILB that can fill between the OTs and makes physical plays around the LOS at a high clip. Quick to react and attack the gaps and does a good job of getting off blocks efficiently. Could improve his range and skill in coverage but offers some promising upside as a run defender. Look for Orr to build off his strong junior season with another productive campaign in the fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17712448/66d51995a31f2aad24573ba3' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6849f017e7916"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["876943"],"_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-684956471c723"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kraintz is coming into his senior season as a third-year starter for Elko. Passed for over 1,100 yards and 4 TDs as a junior but threw 10 INTs- a number he'll need to cut down on in the fall. The 5'9"/160 signal-caller has stayed busy this offseason participating in multiple camps this month including Utah and Boise St. and has shown improvement in his arm strength and ball placement as a passer. Shows good mechanics in his release and throwing motion and operates with light, quick feet from the pocket. Kraintz is a northern Nevada QB to keep on the radar for continued development this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Enjoyed my time at <a href="https://twitter.com/BroncoSportsFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BroncoSportsFB</a> camp!

He's a poweful defender off the edge from his DE spot that plays with a high motor and consistently makes plays in the backfield. Shows good quickness off the snap and makes effective use of his hands as a block shedder. Recorded 33 total tackles, 2 sacks, and 4 TFLs as a junior. Parra-McGee just picked up his first D-III offer from Central Methodist this month. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Blessed to have received my first offer from CMU!!!🦅<br>I want to thank God, my coaches, teammates, family and friends for helping get to wear I am now! <br>All Thanks To God!🙏<a href="https://twitter.com/DLeach37?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DLeach37</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/cmueaglesFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@cmueaglesFB</a> <a href="https://t.co/ROhNEPiIuF">pic.twitter.com/ROhNEPiIuF</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='876954' first='Justin' last='Parra-McGee'] (@JustinMcGee123) <a href="https://twitter.com/JustinMcGee123/status/1931812033143738541?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 8, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["402169"],"_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-684956471c7a9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bell is a playmaker on the rise coming into his senior season with his new program- Coronado. Limited tape and production from his time at Liberty have him under the radar currently but has shown great development in his WR skillset at recent offseason camps. Quick, fluid athlete out of the slot that can create separation with deceptive breaks and possesses the hands, body control, and ball skills to make tough catches against tight coverage. Bell is firmly on the Vegas breakout radar coming into his senior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">had a great camp this weekend! appreciate all the coaches who gave me a shot! <a href="https://t.co/Lt1AnPIhPY">pic.twitter.com/Lt1AnPIhPY</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='402169' first='Cayden' last='Bell'] (@CaydenB3ll) <a href="https://twitter.com/CaydenB3ll/status/1924161727656317272?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 18, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1644988"],"_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-684956471c7e6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ramirez was a new addition to April's update of the 2026 rankings after showing the athleticism he brings to the defensive line in his junior tape. He's a quick mover at 6'/220 that can beat slower-moving offensive linemen off the ball with finesse and shows good technique in his hands and leverage. Scrappy and physical despite his smaller stature for an interior DL and can track down ball-carriers outside the OTs with his speed and motor. Ramirez will need to add weight and strength to his frame to hold up on the defensive line at the next level but possesses some solid traits and skillset to continue to build on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19960405/6764ee12c605f426276ccde5' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-684956471c974"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1644060"],"_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-684956471c9bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jackson is an under-the-radar defender that holds potential to be a breakout prospect heading into his senior season with Canyon Springs. He showed promising flashes as an athletic edge rusher with the speed and quickness he brings to the table. Flashed versatility playing both off the ball and on the edge but likely offers more upside as a rusher with the skillset he possesses. Strong, physical frame at 5'11"/190 that should have no issue adding strength and has the lateral range to make plays on the perimeter on stretch run plays. Jackson is an up-and-coming EDGE prospect to keep an eye on in the fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Jr season highlights <a href="https://t.co/ek4f0MgDdy">pic.twitter.com/ek4f0MgDdy</a></p>&mdash; koltjacksn (@koltonjackson10) <a href="https://twitter.com/koltonjackson10/status/1884684200961601938?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 29, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
