If he's on the camp circuit in the upcoming months, that'll change quickly. [player_tooltip player_id='1644118' first='Bryce' last='Smalls'] is someone who has seen his recruiting stock go up another notch in his early career. Cornerbacks with [player_tooltip player_id='1419182' first='Ryan' last='Drakeford']'s ability and length at his age are hard to come by. Drakeford will be a double-digit offer guy before July. If [player_tooltip player_id='959451' first='RJ' last='Cruz'] camps in the upcoming months, his stock will skyrocket even more. Cruz keeps a low profile, but he is an absolute beast on the field. I think [player_tooltip player_id='1134909' first='Japhya' last='Rouson']'s recruitment will continue to be a slow burn. I expect Rouson's stock to rise even more as he camps in the upcoming months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>ALSO READ</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=1688208&amp;action=edit">Best of the uncommitted </a><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/06/best-of-the-uncommitted-2026-maryland-recruits-part-1/">2026 Maryland Recruits – Part 1</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/06/elite-360recruiting-mega-camp-top-performers/">Elite 360 Recruiting Mega Camp Top Performers</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/06/recruiting-update-on-marylands-2026-ranked-quarterbacks/">Recruiting update on Maryland's 2026 ranked quarterbacks</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
